Topic: I was hacked with the Fake Binance - page 2. (Read 640 times)
Those phishing sites usually appear in the top ads of google so if you always use a site, always bookmark it especially if it involves money because these sites are usually the target of phishers. There have been many phishing attempts every where whether it is in e-mail or in google so we should always be vigilant when it comes to sites and triple check the URL. MEW has a warning always at the top because there are so many victims of being phished copying their site. There is a chrome extension called Cryptonite by Metacert. When you access a site, a green bar appear at the top if it is a verified crypto site. You can search it in the chrome webstore.
Wow this is new. As a Binance user, thank you for the warning, Luckily I did not experience this one because I just usually google Binance.
I agree, I am bookmarking the correct website as I speak. I never thought that these scammers/hackers will think of something like this. Traders will need to be more vigilant this days as this scumbags are thinking of new ways how to victimize people.
Thanks for the information.
Bookmark will be the answer and they are always telling this with trading and wallet websites. Bookmark as soon as you can so that just one letter typed in the URL will get you to the right place.
This phising methods have been really active since there is a lot of money involved with crypto currency.
Let us all be careful on what we will open. A triple check is a must now.

Well that is very fatal how you transfers money to the website without ensure link before .
And i think any exchange now requires turn auth f2a before login . Deposit and withdraw .
Sorry for your loss dude.

You can take revenge, now that we see that philsting domain redirects to a ref link of the hacker, you can report that link to Binance to investigate that referral link owner. Or this story is just a fabricated so you can insert your ref link?
Are you sure the fake link you provided is a phishing link? I opened it on a VM and it just redirects me to the real binance, but with a referral link.
302 redirect brought me to binance.com/?ref=40581024
302 redirect brought me to binance.com/?ref=40581024
Sorry about that but then you have to learn to be very vigilante.In fact i use a protocol which i follow strictly when logging into most of the exchange sites i have accounts on.No messing around else whilst you are working hard to make money,an unscrupulous person somewhere is learning how to steal your money.

Some Advise according to my experience and knowledge,
Never Google to login Crypto Exchange, Forex, Stocks and Bank website
If you frequently Use just bookmark if you are lazzzzzzzzzzzzy if not type proper Secured website
Never Hold the amount of Crypto in Exchange which you can't Loose
Always better option for saving your crypto is in offline wallet which is properly encrypted and save your backup in several different location.
Exchange is never safe, Not only hacking there are so many example of shutdown of exchanges so Please just leave that amount of Crypto which you are able to loose in Exchange Wallet rest please save your personal hand.
No Obligation to anyone this is 100000% my opinion
Thank Good Luck
Try to invest on buying trezor to have a secured savings other that leaving it on mew or exchanges, it's much safer that keep on putting our private keys, and always bookmark most recent exchange or site to avoid phising sites, scammers were everywhere so be careful.

I cannot believe something like that can happen! So basically google offers you to click on a website where Binance is written with Korean alphabet where the "i" of Binance has a little dot below which is not an "i"? And this send you to the phishing site, right?
I feel Google should be held accountable for that...
I feel Google should be held accountable for that...
right, that "i" was two days ago, which was mentioned in that blog! For me the dot was below n and it fooled me!
Currently, the link is being redirected to the main website! which is really strange! It sounds like the hackers now redirecting the link true their server to avoid people knowing about them!
(https://www.xn--binace-zt7b.com/), hold you mouse pointer on the link and look for the bottom left corner of your browser, you can see the"." under n in their fake binance.com! I am now sure actually that they are redirecting to the main to avoid losing their phishing method!
This redirecting happened recently!

Phishing sites started to use this method, using non latin characters, that look like latin characters, on domain names to fake the site. Beware about this method on all sites you use for trading and instead of google search or clicking links, manually type the site names.
You're not the only one fell into the trap like this and not only Binance, Myetherwallet also has the same kind of phising site. Only 1 careless second you can lose everything you earned for years. You should be more careful next time to not give any free money for hackers and lazy fucking guys just wanna hack money from other people anymore.
exactly, I think we should be more careful and educate people to avoid this problem!

Today, to login binance, I used google search (lazy ass) and click on google top ad (stupid of me). I check https and certification was secure and the name (nothing wrong there), and after entering my password and code for two step authentication, it displayed this massage:
Due to the implementation of new security measures you will be able to login 24-48 hours later.
Sorry for the inconvenience
I got suspicious, so I typed the address and went back and googled the massage and I came across this page. Apparently the displayed name in the url with valid certification has a small dot under n. So I was hacked, lucky me I change my passwords and my authentication method asap. But It was headache and normally it is not easy to spot this. You can also copy past the fake binance.com in a notepad and see that original url is : (https://www.xn--binace-zt7b.com/).
I know I was sloppy (even being normally paranoid about everything).
I am putting this here to stop anybody losing his BTCs.

The Google ad Top is a legit site based on my own search. Maybe it depend on search filter per location and unfortunately you hit that scam site. I checked all details and still the top search with ad ended up as a legit one as far as my own location is concerned. You can also report that to Google for them to erased that link on seach result.
Anyways thanks for the warning and people must always look at the url if it's correct. For more security, enabled 2FA and bookmarked the official url of Binance which is https://www.binance.com .

That was a close one and luckily you did able to change password before the hacker did able to stole funds inside that account. Even my eyes fooled me in my first glimpse of the phishing site which it do have actually a small dot under that letter i. If you are really very lazy then checking this small difference of detail cant really be noticed which you would really end up on entering your credentials.Due to the implementation of new security measures you will be able to login 24-48 hours later.

Yes, i agree with you mate. Well, to avoid from fake website(binance) or phishing site. You always check if that website that you browse are in a security padlock mode if you don't see that sign you might in wrong website that you transacted.

There's always a phishing attacks and spams in the crypto space. People have always been scammed one thing or the other.
It all boils down to being self secured and never clicking on untrusted links.
Thanks for bringing up this here, everyone gotta be extra careful.

Thanks for the fair warning. I have no Binance account but this would really help a lot of members to try and be sure that they are in the correct URL so that they are not going to be phished and loss their coins on the exchanges. That's why its important to bookmark the trading platform, there are a lot of hackers who will do anything to stole money out of their unsuspecting victims.Due to the implementation of new security measures you will be able to login 24-48 hours later.

I'm sure that there are already who fall for this and can't do anything but to blame themselves because of their mistakes. Very hard lessons to swollen and it comes at a big cost for others. Good thing though that you are really quick to change everything.
I would be happy if I could have helped people for losing their investment.
Bookmarking is a good idea, I will do it to avoid feuture problem with other websites!
Wow, I I feel your pain, have u try contacting you binance support?
I did not lose anything, and I was fast to change my password, my authentication method, etc! But I should contact them, to just let them know!
You most definitely should but thank you for bringing it to our attention because now investors who visit bct can now beware of this problem as well. Glad you didn't lose anything either that would have been a shitty situation.
It would have been, i agree!

The news that the world's largest exchanges - Binance, Bitfinex, Bittrex - suspended registration of new users, or tightened registration conditions, only spurred most of the newcomers to buy crypto currency (especially with such a strong fall of bitcoin) and try to register on the stock exchanges all the truth.
Of course, on this wave enterprising swindlers decided to sell accounts on stock exchanges. The price of the account today depends on the degree of verification that the user has passed and at the moment reaches 15 BTC! You will be surprised, but many did not at all confuse such a "gypsy" scheme of buying an account. Perhaps in the pursuit of the dream of becoming a bit-keen multi-billionaire, enthusiasts simply did not calculate that even after changing the password, the swindler can easily regain the account and skimp on all your hard-earned money somewhere in Thailand.
Binance for example, This is almost a converted Forex. So I and possibly many other users do not strongly respect this exchange and do not consider one of the leaders in the trade in crypto currency. But in general, information is confirmed in many media. Of course, on this wave enterprising swindlers decided to sell accounts on stock exchanges.
