This site has to be closed permanently. I had some links in my guide and in my merit giveaway thread, leading to the .to domain.
Thanks to vlad230 I got them cleaned up, but just wondering how did I end up with the phishing links in the first place?
I started writing my guide back in the autumn last year when I was a newbie so probably they were already circulating in the forum.
You probably got them on Google. I had a few of them in one of my posts when I was researching an user.

Loyce was the one that warned me. And I see that he didn't mention adding the fake website to your hosts file while it hasn't been blacklisted.

I totally fell for the cloned site, until I realized I couldn't see your trust ratings.
I have added this line to /etc/hosts
Code:
127.0.0.1       bitcointalk.to
Now my computer can't access that phishing site anymore.
