Do not log into sites you do not properly recognize or trust. That site might genuinely be a mirror site, but I do not completely know at all.

So this is why there are accounts being hacked?
I was wondering why there are users account being compromised every now and then so this could be the reason. someone should track these individuals an expose them with their crimes.

Theymos sue them right?

2) bitcointa.lk

You might need to double check your claims unless Cevidad turned rogue recently.

There are many other Similar sites :
1) NOPE!
2) MORE NOPE!
And might be many other too..
Just dont login on such sites and remember the only official site is http://bitcoitalk.org
Dont Make such threads too so that people will ever visit that fake site..
Just be aware !

You say don't make those threads, yet you link the other sites you mention.
Isn't that a tiny little bit contra-productive?
Would you at least consider breaking those links to protect the overly-stupid?
Edit:
Thanks for breaking the links. Appreciate the effort, next time think about it before pls.

It might be clear that the site is either a phishing site or someone making a live archive of the forum, nothing new or special, even if its the second(helpful one) there are many sites that already do this.
At any rate, I would advice not to even visit that link if you're logged in to your account here.

Just ignore it and don't send people there. It is NOT THIS FORUM and it is most likely a phishing site.

what do you suggest because i actually click on the link?

Do not enter your account details there.


Of course, i did not because i was logged into the official bitcoinstalk forum but, when i open this link through another browser, it's indication shows i was log-out.

Also this. Maybe consider breaking the link in the op, so you don't send them more traffic by accident.

Thanks for the link. That is a mirror site of bitcointalk.org probably set up to steal your log in credentials. Could a mod weigh in here please?

I stumbled across this link while researching today.

https://bitcoin-forums.net/index.php?topic=374845.0

From the content and the usernames, you can tell that the site closely look like the official bitcoinstalk forum. perhaps, the domain was purchased & forwarded to bitcoinstalk forum or what?


Thank's for your clarification
