While searching for bip39 on Google this website was suggested as an ad: https://iancoleman.app

It is the exact same website except it seems to sniff mnemonics and track users with their Google Ad profile

It would be great if the official website could show a banner with this information in order to prevent phishing

Too bad

The Google ad does not show from Hungarian IP addresses. It is kind of worthless to show anything about the phishing site on the official one, because tricked people would not see it. But someone could DDoS the phishing site that POSTs cross-site requests to exarpi.apsonsoftware.com

Another fake site located: https://www.xpubcalculators.com/ People who want to use this, better fork the repo and do it offline
