It is clearly a phishing site, avoid accessing this site. I'm sure you know what will happen if you use your account from the real bitcointalk to the fake one.

Found an interesting address

Code:

47.52.58.235:8009

This is the main page of forum.
Interestingly, all internal links lead to real Bitcointalk.

It's just another way that the creator who created the fake bitcointalk to appear as real bitcointalk that may/will trap someone and not just newbies on accessing this phishing site. Even LoyceV fell for it as quoted by TryNinja.

I totally fell for the cloned site, ~
I have added this line to /etc/hosts

Code:

127.0.0.1       bitcointalk.to

Now my computer can't access that phishing site anymore.

Sorry - I've never seen the discussion nor the phenomenon and I searched before I posted.

Is there a warning somewhere for newbs? It seems like an easy trap to fall into.

bitcointalk.to = bitcointalk.org ?
Is Bitcointalk.to same of Bitcointalk.org ?
Fake bitcointalk site ?

Plus to bitcointalk.to

Yes. That's a fake version of BitcoinTalk, so don't try to login with it (the captcha isn't even working, so falling for this is pretty hard).

This prevents accidentally accessing it (ty Loyce):

You can do the same for the other fake websites.

It's a trap. Yes, this is a phishing site. Not only this - there are a lot more. I suggest you to be careful about them. Bookmark the original URL: https://bitcointalk.org

This's another phishing list:

Code:

bitcointalk.[to]
bitcointalk.[net]
bitcointa[ll]k.[org]
bitcointa[I]k.[org]

There are several discussions about these sites as well.

Thanks for that. I guess I always came to bct from my bookmark and it was just a fluke that I went to a phishing site from an external search result. No kidding - I had never encountered them before. Luckily I didn't log in.

I am aware of this, my friend who is a legendary told me about this, so I am aware of this, that is why I bookmarked the bitcointalk.org site so I am safe and will only be landed on the right website, so many phishing sites meant to steal information and bitcointalk is one of their big targets.

Searching for something just now, I arrived at a site bitcointalk dot to (not org) which seemed to be an exact copy of this site, except that it treated every visitor as a guest and asked for ID and password, presumably fishing for bct passwords.

Are you really a Legendary account here or you are a newbie or this is a bought account? Do you have a staked bitcoin address to prove the ownership of this account?

I am sorry the question you asked was never expected from a Legendary. We have talked about this thousand times (I guess).

I'm not sure where to post this, so mods please feel free to move or delete if this is old news or not useful.
