PSA: Bittrex Phishing || I almost lost my Bittrex & Google Account
Yesterday, When I go to sleep, I got mail with subject: Review Contact Detail and The mailer name show Bittrex Mailer
See the image
Now, As I trade on Bittrex and just some days ago I verified my account, I thought It might be legit so, I clicked on the link. I was sleepy at that time so, I didn't even see the link just clicked it.
phishing Link https://bittrex.com184566874654.ga/163028754897/ ( The domain he uses is bittrex.com184566874654.ga
He is also changing his domain and sending the same mail again and again.
(Have you seen; Scammer also used SSL so no one doubt at the time of login)
Now, The game begins it redirected me to a page that clone of the bittrex login page. See the process he set up for scamming people through these images. I already put my password there that time, This Time I am showing you, as I know, It will proceed any email I put.
Once I gave my mail id and password, it redirected to a page where I put my details, Once I put that it will redirect to a page where it shows Everything is right except your mail. Like below two images
He shows Email is incorrect so He can get access to mail by showing a clone of Google login I was so dumb that I filled my mail and password.
Then The page redirected me to a page where it showed me to put my GA 2fa code for five times.
That time I suspect it is a scam, and When I saw the domain name, I get to know that It is a phishing site.
Within no time, I changed my Bittrex Password.
But the scammer already tried to log in my mail as he has to confirm the login from another up.
There he stuck as I used 2FA for my mail also So, Google blocked his login, and within that, I changed my mail password
SUGGESTION: Always see the domain name before giving your password. Use 2FA for your mail too. Cause I escaped only for 2fa in my mail.
