To OP,
Mind to create flag for kingpin4321?
i will support you.

I can do it... my only concern is that it is a hacked account,
and even if I want to punish the hacker, I also want to bring back original user kingpin4321.

Maybe it is best to wait for moderators to decide.

EDIT:
I created it.
Who knows how many users he contacted...

I think kingpin4321 fell for the exact same thing.

Yesterday in Services someone posted a fake giveaway with a link to a phishing Bitcointalk clone, he was first to reply. I guess I was late with my tag/flag. Embarrassed

A third known case (possibly even more) within the past 36 hours: Link

On this forum, when you rollover with the cursor the link is green if it’s a link from this forum, it’s blue, if is a link outside of this forum
So, this is also a way to prevent to click on a scam link

I will add that also.
Thanks

Thanks.

One more thing I noticed, after I entered fake account information with password FU.K YOUXXX
is that it redirects me to regular Bitvest Plinko Signature Campaign after it takes my 'login details'

Maybe lightlord, creator of this topic, should be contacted regarding this,
just that he is aware of the situation.
They are probably using other random links, with malicious attachments.

One more way to super protect is to install browser extension called NoScript, but it is a bit complex.

Hello my fellow Bitcointalkers!

Today I will show you how one scammer tried to hack my Bitcointalk account,
and I will teach you how to prevent any future similar hack attack.

1. I received PM from unknown member with this content

2. DO NOT click on any link as it redirects you to FAKE Bitcointalk clone website from Turkey.
With intention to collect your Login information and password, and takeover your account.

3. ALWAYS check website Link in address bar, and if it is safe HTTPS.

4. Always check user trust and profile and again DO NOT CLICK on any links.

When you hover over with mouse over link that is outside this forum, color will be blue

When you hover over link and you see green color, that is link inide Bitcointalk forum.

Here we have clear case of hacked account: kingpin4321
- password is changed recently
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/kingpin4321-2447711

5. Report user to admin/moderator and give him negative trust.

6. Report phishing website to Google and Symantec.

https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en
https://www.phishtank.com/
https://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/submit.php?

7. Learn how to protect yourself better.

- use Firefox browser, it shows you warnings for unsecure logins, and it is more secure than Chrome browser. Alternative is Brave browser.

- use browser extensions: HTTPS everywhere, ClearURL, NoScript or uMatrix (for experts)

- install Malwarebytes Browser Extension for protection
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/malwarebytes/?src=search
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes-browser-exte/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee

- stake your Bitcoin address on forum to prove ownership of your Bitcointalk account -> Stake your Bitcoin address here

8. Ask me if you have any questions.

I will update this topic with more information if needed.
Thank you for your attention.
