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.
The Google ad Top is a legit site based on my own search. Maybe it depend on search filter per location and unfortunately you hit that scam site. I checked all details and still the top search with ad ended up as a legit one as far as my own location is concerned. You can also report that to Google for them to erased that link on seach result.
Anyways thanks for the warning and people must always look at the url if it's correct. For more security, enabled 2FA and bookmarked the official url of Binance which is
