Seems like a good place to spam, lots of gullible people and whatnot.

Well, he's been banned from the BFL forums under that username, though I doubt that will stop his scammy, fishy ways...

I guess my name is there because I clicked this link:
Code:
http://bitcointalk.us/phisher.php
However, the password is wrong and I logged out and back in Bitcointalk in case he tried stealing my session cookie.
I did the same, the only account that had a valid password was called ajze2... Potential culpirit, registered August, but 0 posts. The satoshi entry was made by me, so I can confirm that these were phished with the login bar.

This is NOT cool AT ALL.
If there's anything I don't appreciate it's being impersonated.
My own post:
I don't believe it... I could never think of any sci-fi-ass machine capable of cracking SHA256. Of course with Snowden's verification, how could it be false? I'm horrified. Are our savings subject to overnight destruction?
Was modified as well:

We have to figure out what's going on here, I do NOT like this at all. I bet a good percentage of people who see this will consider it legitimate.

It is likely that a good proportion will indeed be fooled, I nearly was but it just didn't smell right. That's why I posted.

Regarding this password list - a) LOL at having them sitting in the directory like that, and b) they all appear to be wrong, which is good!

the free hosting ad at the top is a dead giveaway.

also, there's some funny stuff in the root directory http://bitcointalk.us/phisher.php LOL

LOL indeed, but at first glance it's pretty convincing. Just thought people should be warned. I've reported it on the BFL forum...

This domain bitcointalk.us is a phising site and is also used to hype a fake btc-e bot (trojan).

A lot of effort went into making the site though, they've registered a very good URL for it, all the people posting have links back to their profiles on bitcointalk.org

I've got to admit that I was very nearly fooled. I'm sure many will be...

I just got a very spammy PM on the BFL forum from what I think is someone trying to hype LTC saying that MtGox is going to start trading it and this was announced in a leaked recording of Mark Karpeles.

It links to what I think is a spoof page imitating this forum with presumably mock posts from several well-established members of this community agreeing that this was sounding very promising.

Link here: http://bitcointalk.us/LTCRecordedConversation.htm

This post is to:

a) give people a head's up and

b) confirm this is a spoof site created by someone trying to hype up LTC prices and not a genuine mirror of BTCTalk (which I'm pretty much sure of, but I've also been sitting at the keyboard for ~16 straight hours so judgement isn't what it might be).

I was actually almost fooled, so thought I'd better alert people...
