CopyCat Scam Website - What to do? #658

Open patrickwolf opened 5 months ago

patrickwolf commented 5 months ago

It looks like this site copied your code and instead of generating random Mnemonic codes it asks users to enter their real ones: https://www.bip32.net/ and it doesn't offer an offline version.

My concern is that it's setup for scamming purposes and uses the official url bip32.net to get peoples private codes.

Is there awareness if the site is a scam? And if yes where to report a site like this?

Thanks

Indeed, it posts all private input to its backend opposed to the original code. To be honest, anyone who is careful enough would download the standalone html and run it locally.

The bip32.net domain is behind a whois anonymizer from Malaysia. There were multiple such phishing copies, some even paid Google to show up above the legitimate site.
