I went back to the web site to check it out and saw this:

Not Found

The requested URL /users/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.24 (Unix) Server at cryrptsy.com Port 80

What were you hoping to find? Wink

I was hoping to find just that. I wanted to make sure the phishing wasn't still there.

Cool. Phishing sites don't tend to last very long for obvious reasons - thieves in the night!

It's all good baby..

with the consistent negative balances in all my wallets, the thief won't be able to withdraw anything anyways

and with the standard 5 day wait time for any and all withdraws, I'll have enough time to contact admin to notify them if my account is compromised anyway

pshhhh two factor authentication

Note: there are two phishing Domains

cyrptsy.com (ry->yr)
cryrptsy.com (one "r" too much)

there have been tonnes of bitstamp phishing domains used.

Just never click on a link to a supposed website. Bookmark the real one and use that.

They might have better success if they relayed a live version.  Even 2fa wouldn't protect you then.

That's why EVERYONE should enable 2 factor authentication.

Correct, Ski1llS.

I recently mistyped the web address for cryptsy.com by switching the "y" and the "r" so it was cyrptsy.com. I didn't realize it at first since it looked just like the original web site so I entered my username and password.

Then I was offered the option to choose my email web site. I had never been asked this before so I became suspicious. I closed out of my web browser.

I then went back in and checked the address history and found the web site to be cyrptsy.com. I logged into my cryptsy.com account and changed my password.

If this happens to you and you enter both your cryptsy.com username/password and your email username/password it may have been detected by cyrptsy.com. I would suggest you change your password for both cryptsy.com and for your email account.
