NEO officially asking for private keys? is it some phishing site?scam or official?

https://neo.org/giveback/ico2

its the official site. i dont know what they want to do but something like a second ico for sponsors? but for what they want a priv key?

one thought, may be their website / web server is hacked, and hacker cleverly put it there ;-)
let's see what does someone from NEO team has to say for this
Any thoughts and official answer/blogposts from NEO team?
any discord/telegram/slack active community for NEO?
i also want to know why they want our private key?they should want our address about giveback.

Very strange, as they always urge everyone not to send private keys to anyone...

yes, the original address for the ICO should suffice ...

No because you would not be able to prove that you are in control of that address, with a private key you can. I'm just assuming the initial ICO wallet did have no other functionality than storing the ICO coins and sending them through to the actual antshares-gui wallet. So it does not matter to give this private key to the NEO organisation, to receive the giveback, if you are not actively using this ICO wallet/private key anymore.

Otherwise anyone could just sign up a random ICO wallet address and say that they want to receive the giveback for the 300 BTC of Antshares that they bought in ICO and receive a free giveback without actually ever having bought any.
