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 the address and 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 sloppy (even being normally paranoid about everything).
I am putting this here to stop anybody losing his BTCs.



That was a close one and luckily you did able to change password before the hacker did able to stole funds inside that account. Even my eyes fooled me in my first glimpse of the phishing site which it do have actually a small dot under that letter i. If you are really very lazy then checking this small difference of detail cant really be noticed which you would really end up on entering your credentials.
