Title: Probably phished, what should I do?
Post by: 1682_anon on June 09, 2013, 04:09 am
Yes, I'm a dumb newb. I followed a link to SR but it wasn't http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/
The site I went to had a login box that asked for username, passphrase and pincode, which I typed. It then took me to a "SR is down for maintenance" page.

I have obviously fallen for a phishing scam.

I have provided no identifying details and have deposited no bitcoins.

How can I delete this account?

You can't delete the account, but you can start a new one ...

Uh oh, this is serious. The instructions at http://silkroaddrugs.wordpress.com/ point to the phishing address. Admins/Moderators, can you check this out ASAP???

That site is not associated with Silk Road, so there is nothing we can do about what link they provide - they provide a phishing link, likely intentionally.

Fuckers. The version of the Tor Browser I downloaded from their link is probably malware too.

That is HIGHLY likely.  Why would you download Tor Browser Bundle from any website other than the official Tor Project site?

Well the link is https://www.torproject.org/download/ so I figured it was safe because of https. I'll format the computer anyway, just to be safe.

That's the correct link for the official tor page ...
