Today, to login binance, I used google search (lazy ass) and click on google top ad (stupid of me). I check https and certification was secure and the name (nothing wrong there), and after entering my password and code for two step authentication, it displayed this massage:
Due to the implementation of new security measures you will be able to login 24-48 hours later.
Sorry for the inconvenience
I got suspicious, so I typed went back and googled the massage and I came across
this page. Apparently the displayed name in the url with valid certification has a small dot under n. So
I was hacked, lucky me I change my passwords and my authentication method asap. But It was headache and normally it is not easy to spot this. You can also copy past the fake binance.com in a notepad and see that original url is : (
https://www.xn--binace-zt7b.com/).
I know I was supply (even being normally paranoid about everything.
I am putting this here to stop anybody losing his BTCs.
Thanks for the fair warning. I have no Binance account but this would really help a lot of members to try and be sure that they are in the correct URL so that they are not going to be phished and loss their coins on the exchanges. That's why its important to bookmark the trading platform, there are a lot of hackers who will do anything to stole money out of their unsuspecting victims.
I'm sure that there are already who fall for this and can't do anything but to blame themselves because of their mistakes. Very hard lessons to swollen and it comes at a big cost for others. Good thing though that you are really quick to change everything.
