There Are A Crop Of Throwaways Pushing Some Fake AlphaBay Link In A Phishing Attempt

Over on r/AlphaBay there are a bunch of 30 minute-old accounts claiming about some vulnerability wherein if you login to AlphaBay via an alternate URL, you may end up with coins in your wallet. It's bullshit. They are phishing. One purports to be an official announcement from AlphaBay... but u/grandwizard_official is neither an official representative of AlphaBay nor the GrandWizardsLair. (Paging u/GrandWizardsLair , you are being mimicked for fun and profit.)

Anyway, remain vigilant about avoiding phishing links. And report these posts as you see them.

That "couldn't hack phlegm if he had tuberculosis" comment still stings. Good.

I thought they hired some PR person. It's like there isn't a mod to delete that shit.


[3 Points] DareToHope:

Trappy is currently working on setting up an AM config to remove all of these posts (I think)


[2 Points] AnotherHighGuy:

Really guys? If someone is dumb enough to fall for these they deserve to have their coins stolen.

Trappy, you really need more than one moderator. You're not superman, you cant do this all alone.
