Another guy asking people to download an executable to earn BTC . If you visit the download page beastminer.net/download/ you will get redirected to fastdownload.me/download/Seqn5afw2/BeastMiner-v1.47.zip/ . In that URL , you will see that he is claiming that the file is clean and secure but If you remove the additions from the URL and go back to Fastdownload.me you will see that there is nothing which means It's not an actual hosting website but he created it himself.

I thought about it little bit and I saw that the domain is .me and a scammer , he wouldn't want to spend much money and like I thought .. It was registered on Namecheap.com




It's not because It's too cheap but It's because Github Student package offers it for free (from Namecheap.com) , now If you click the red big "Download" button , you will get redirected to the real .exe in Github ! (the source code was removed) (obviously he bought only a domain without the hosting otherwise he would lose money on resources since he gets downloads)

Finally and the most important thing , It contains a virus :  https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/272361d6445ee06ccfee2c08a950ed126c63afdea8706ba30231836d516a799b/analysis/1477929975/

I hope I gave enough information's to get his website added to the list , I'm sure a lot of people are getting infected.
