Did anyone notice blackbanks mainpage say "This is a Phishing Site" (aka they got hacked) right before it went down?

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackBank/comments/36r0oq/update_over_market_maintenance/crggmlp

I believe the actual securtiy precaution is, that over the weekend Phishing sites took over the main site's URL. which is a major security flaw. also the DDOS of course but phishing sites working on the same URL as blackbanks site = Fucked x a milli.

It was noted that right before the site went down, the main page said "this is a phishing site". I compared the URL in the browser bar and it matched the acutal sites address. this is a major flaw. might be a good idea to change passwords once site is up and running.

Im not op just want to confirm if anyone else saw this or is this fud

It's just a lag in the css

It's to prevent phishing. If someone copies the BlackBank code and doesn't update the CSS properly, it will show the warning. If you do a search for blankblank phishing you'll come across a lot of threads. People need to utilize the search feature more often here.

I have seen "this is a phishing site" in red before. Usually when the page is slow to load.

I thought I heard someone bring this up a few days prior to the outages, and people said they've seen this before when the page loads slowly. Could be wrong, though.

I have seen also, and assumed it was there to deter from entering info onto an incomplete page load. I'm not sure if its possible to use exact same url. Plus, If its a phishing site why would they advertise that? Just sayin

Yeah, it's what happens when the page doesn't load correctly...


[2 Points] lrpaterson:

Yes, I have seen similar things as well. Only when the page fails to load or gets corrupted though.

it's css for anyone trying to direct copy their code and set up a phishing site...,

The phishing site cannot use the exact URL though, it has to be at least 1 character off right?
