 I visited their website today and it says the website was hacked


According to https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/ what "hacked" is:

Quote
A couple of IoC’s that are clear indicators of a hack include:

Website is blacklisted by Google, Bing, etc..
Host has disabled your website
Website has been flagged for distributing malware
Readers complaining that their desktop AV’s are flagging your site
Contacted that your website is being used to attack other sites
Notice behavior that was not authorized (i.e., creation of new users, etc…)
You can visibly see that your site has been hacked when you open it in the browser

Usually some of these scammers take it very easily to run an ICO and they think its the most easiest way to steal money from people. Just purchase ICO related template and make some editing works but they get stuck during whitepaper creation sometime. In this situation they start to steal content from other projects but some are slightly ahead in this part who have little extra amount in his wallet to make a useless whitepaper by spending 100$.

After completing all these things they just wait to have deposit on their wallet and i think its pretty much common in most of the scam ICO project.

The project is updating We Will be back soon after necessary modifications.
Sorry for inconvenience.


Oops... the project has gone for updating, I bet they are now busy removing plagiarized content in order to make their project more attractive.

But no worries we still have a lovely archived thread.

Let's take a quick look at it.




This is the website of this company - https://lightcoingroup.com/ (Archived)

The funny thing here is that the company's website was created after exchange creation. Sounds suspicious a bit.
According to https://whois.net/


First, let's look at the Telegram address mentioned on the bottom of the page on their website:



Telegram: https://t.me/lightcoingroup


As you can see, there are a lot of forwarding messages from Cointelegraph, it seems lightcoingroup is very interested in the articles from there,
so it's no big surprise that they decided to take one for themselves to plagiarise on their stock exchange.

According to their web site:


I spent some time googling "the Light Touch Research Institute" and still haven't understood what it is.
Is this an institute that teaches massage techniques? Google doesn't answer me. Guys, can you explain this to me?

Team.





Is that you guys? It's nice to see you at work! Oops, it's a picture from the Internet.



They are here for us



Despite the button "Find out more" here, you can't actually find out anything by clicking it. Which is sad.

Address



They are here somewhere between Wild Sage Bistro and Baptist Church:

Even though copying some definitions of STOs may not seem like untrustworthy behaviour per se on the surface, it really shows the amount of effort they have bothered to put into doing this whole project.

Clearly, this is a signal of laziness at the very least and a scam at worst.

Don't invest in them, period.
