Fake https://www.google.com/ (link to google.com)
Theymos is smart

However, a homograph attack can still be used to create a fake link:

Fake https://www.google.com/ (link to google.com)
Now it seems that Fake https://www.google.com/ (link to google.com)

Hi,
I was able to recover my account as well here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4497259.0
The method I used was similar to Swenna (probably the same hacker) but prior to him/her spilling the beans.. I just didn't put in Meta how I recovered my account because I don't want the hacker/s to have a idea how I did it. But since Swenna reveal the method, (she/he did it in good faith though),I confirmed that its the step I took to get back my account, just saying.
Yes I was aware of your story. It is a difficult issue whether the method should be disclosed or not, as the hackers will notice it as well. Added a note to the OP.I was able to recover my account as well here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4497259.0

Also this applies to bounties who asks for registration to their websites, this could be attempt of stealing your details.
Honestly, I wouldn't trust half of them, and would be using a disposable email. But, that's just me. I wouldn't also , if i have to I make new email to register with them.
I think that warning about this should be included in original post, since a lot of users do not know this or just haven't thought about this problem.
