So even if the phishing attack was successful, it would not be possible for the attacker to login without this word pairing.  Wink
Maybe google authentication should be activated as this is what safe my friend’s account from been hacked in January this year. These hackers can go to any lengths in stilling people funds from exchange, casinos and gambling sites and wallets providers sites and applications. The owners of the casino websites can do a little if the players and investors themselves are not playing safe.
Okay lets say these gambling sites do have these 2fa things but most gamblers doesnt really care on activating it (this is a common behavior).

They would only set it up after such scam incident.They should done it on the first place to secure their accounts and i agree on what Kakmakr said or suggestion on having that 5 word but somehow if this codes being inputted up on a phishing site the account would be still accessed.

If you cannot get to people's coins directly, then you target the services they use, because people make mistakes. They also know these gamblers have a lot of money and that they are so preoccupied with their gambling urge that they would not even notice if they use the wrong domain.  Tongue

The gambling sites should take notice about this recent attack on their customers and they should develop additional security features to protect their customers accounts.

So even if the phishing attack was successful, it would not be possible for the attacker to login without this word pairing.  Wink

Just make certain you check the URL before opening a account and depositing.


Well said.
It's only the us for whom we fall in trouble if we see honestly.
We ourselves become careless and click on the phishing sites.
Moreover some of us don't enable the 2FA for which this problem becomes more serious.
Hope people will come to understand things more clearl and become more careful next time.

I use avg antivirus so I dont have these types of problems
Viruses born to defeat antivirus softwares, so basically you are unsafe even you use whatever antivirus softwares for your computers.
It is especially right if you have careless habits on Internet. You are safe today, you have been safe till now, but it does not guarentee that you will be forever safely.

Don't be a prophet of doom.  Grin Grin Grin

Yes viruses are born to infect computers not to defeat anti-viruses. And even if they are, anti virus manufactures aren't sleeping either. It is practically unprofitable for any single guy sitting on his mothers basement to try and code malware that could defeat giants such as Norton, McAfee, etc.

We think the huge problems is from Phishing, trying to fake domains, and DNS poisoning. That's why we are great believers in EV SSL for businesses. people who use terrible long domain names with confusing extensions such as .io, .me, etc are mostly susceptible to this target. They expose their users to become easy phishing targets.

A good advice especially now that hackers have shifted their hacking activities to gambling and casino sites. Checking and rechecking of URL before longing is very important as I have had many stories of hackers taking advantage of just little character to steal people's  password and username! If you must login into your account at primetime or betvest you should click from the links at the campaign threads as this will to some extent save you from " story that touched the heart.

Using an antivirus isn't a solution for phishing and such. Mind you, these type of attacks exist not in your local machine but rather in the web, and would only perpetrate/be effective if you yourself entered your details. If you're a Windows user, Windows Defender is already a good antivirus in itself with some few tweaks to ensure that your system is still performing at its peak and no slowdowns would occur. Even if you have a bulletproof system that you think won't get infected, well being more cautious isn't going to hurt one bit, too.

It's very important to bookmark if you do have a favorite gambling site to play your games, it will helps you to avoid being victimized by those fake website who's intentionally hacked gamblers account, it's always better to prevent or avoid things to happen if in case that you are unsure always
double check before opening or visiting any websites not only in gambling but also those important website that you always visiting.
Bookmark can be tampered too, so it is safest if you bookmark URL of your favorite and important sites in you mind, not simply bookmark them in browsers. Typing exactly URL of sites you want to visit and log in your accounts in address bar in your browser. Then, no attackers can trap you with their phising sites.
You are correct that bookmarks can be tampered the same as your clipboard that is why the most safest thing to do is to type the site manually so that you can avoid getting phished by the phishing sites all over the internet or shared by scammers.  Let's thank the op on sharing this thread about this phishing site and the forum user who send it.

Thank you for your advice, I will try to be careful at every pm that come in. Indeed phishing attacks lately increased , their attack targets are beginners who are new to crypto. So be beware of anyone.

Indeed, with most passwords managers you get the chance to store the url as well, so you can actually open the site FROM the password manager (which simply passes the argument to your browser).

Phishing attacks are on the wild, and people should be double careful. Also, never, ever repeat passwords, one more reason to use a password manager with a very good password to open it, preferably from a secured os/pc. Can't stress that enough, windows won't cut it. Go linux or bsd, that and the usual browser (ie. chrome) works for 90% of internet users out there.

A good password manager is not paid, and is NOT an online service, but a free and open source program you download, such as: KeepassXC.

Do NOT use anything that requires you to login to an online site as password manager, much less something that demands a subscription fee.

Well sometimes beginners do not pay attention to the site domain, we need to educate the importance of user security. Moreover, hackers not only attack through PM, but they do spamming in e-mail, where it will be difficult to distinguish originals and fakes. If you sometimes forget to pay attention to the domain, it's better to use an antivirus that has browser security features such as avast, Kaspersky, McAfee, etc. Maybe it will help a little when we are careless.

The lesson here is not to click on any links and not trust anyone here. Used our common sense to see the URL or better yet bookmark the sites just to be sure, so stay safe everyone.
Exactly warning! Such kind of careless people, who solely depend upon protection and warnings of antivirus softwares on potential threats are perfect targets of hackers. If they don't change their careless habits, they will soon have opportunities to learn from their own lessons, and they will never forget about their own bloody money-lost lessons.

thank you for bringing it to the attention , will get in touch with the admins of the sites mentioned
as for primedice.net , I highly doubt anyone who knows something about the dice sites business would consider buying it
only potential scammers, but this is going to be very short lived attempt
I remember several of them attempted during the past few years , they even managed to build a decently looking Primedice's login page
also admin of paradice dice site set up phishing sites , primedice.co and such - didn't work either

You don't need to be a gambler to check links before clicking on them.
You don't need to be a trader to do this.
You don't need to be an investor to do this.
Carefully do this for your own personal securities: emails, bank accounts, important data, etc.
There are two ways to check links: hovering on link; or clicking on quote button to see link in quoted contents. If links are shortened one, let's further check this. However, I don't care to do that ;set step, especially with links from strangers, newbies. Why do they have to post shortened links of famous sites?

I guess if they are selling primedice.net to people who might get it for phishing stuff and may get peoples money and run with it, than why don't the primedice team just buy it and redirect it to primedice itself?

Surely they have made tons of profit in the past 6 years, yes they have reinvested plenty of it for primedice itself and also created stake and they have been paying employees as well plus they surely have been living a lot better than how they used to live with this money and all that, but not being able to buy primedice.net is not an excuse, they surely have plenty of money to recover from tens of bitcoins loss with a whale so it shouldn't be a question when they pay like 10-50 btc just to get that name.

I don't know the price but I am sure it should be cheap for their wallet (quite expensive for us of course).

Nope, unsafe.
you should not click on links you don't know. Hover mouse of computer / touchpad on link, to get exactly link (if it is shortened/ hidden link) to check address first, compare it with what you remember; if link looks strange, stop at it, don't click and let your safety depends on antivirus software's warnings.

Thank you for this warning I almost click the link but I confuse and check the url and noticed a fake give away, scammer always find a way to make hack so everyone always be check what you do before doing any action.
