Title: Silkroad Phishing Site
Post by: greenst on January 21, 2013, 01:59 am
Hi, today I came across this site: silkroadnw2x5zqa.onion seems to be a site trying to phish silk road credentials. It was in and an old version of the Wikipedia article. Just want to warn you.
Would be nice if silk road would use HTTPS so that you can see if you are on the "right" page.

The newbie discussion probably isnt the right place to post this, hope this gets seen.

If SR used https, who would sign the certificate? New users wouldn't be any better off with a self-signed certificate and all other users would have a worse service due to the https bandwidth and CPU overheads.

For what it's worth the form is posted to email via this url: http://www.tectite.com/hosted/001184/gregjennings.com/formmail.php

I've reported it to techtite and asked them to keep an eye on silkroadnw2x5zqa.onion.to in future.

Forgot to mention when logging into SR it NEVER asks for your PIN.

Well spotted greenst, lets hope people see this and learn.

Memorize the URL. Not that difficult after a few visits!

This has been going on for a while and more than likely will continue.
