Beware the Latest Bittrex Email Phishing Scam
Cryptocurrency users are often exposed to various scams. Most of these come in the form of Ponzi schemes, phishing sites, and malware attacks. It appears a new Bittrex phishing site is making inroads these days, which tries to attract users through a phishing email campaign.
It is not hard to spot the fake site, but quite a few people may fall for this scam regardless. Always be wary when receiving emails allegedly from exchanges that ask you to visit a site and confirm your identity.
Bittrex Phishing Scam is Quite Problematic
It is not the first nor the last time cryptocurrency exchange users are targeted by phishing emails and cloned websites. The most-often targeted platform in this regard is Blockchain.info, as the company provides a very popular online wallet service for holders of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Users often receive fake emails from people impersonating the company as a way to guide them to a fake website and steal their login credentials. Other exchanges and wallet services have suffered from similar attacks, including the current Bittrex phishing scam.
