Phishing on new Stellar XLM wallets.

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

I created a new portfolio in the Stargazer Wallet application.

I sent about 150 XLM. A few seconds after making a deposit on the wallet, another payment appeared. At a ridiculously low amount of 0.000012 XLM. There was a link in the message:

https://get-22500-xlm.org/

On the below page, we are asked to enter our private key !! sic!

If we do, the page will display an incorrect private key syntax and ask you to enter it again. I did not do it. Nevertheless, after a dozen or so seconds the funds were removed from the wallet.

Curiosity.
The wallet from which we get the initial funds and the message with the link is:
GBHQCTIXEOD5AIFHNSYIP34HNEJHRNQHQE43K4AZBUOHZLHDBGYTDICI
https://stellarchain.io/address/GBHQCTIXEOD5AIFHNSYIP34HNEJHRNQHQE43K4AZBUOHZLHDBGYTDICI

!!!Spam new wallets with deposits with a link!!!

Funds from the portfolio have been stolen to the following address:
GBHF3JUEPW6YKJ5ZVFBEJNQ55SGLTNKNXH2JWWOWZMPVM3KVTE733JTV
https://stellarchain.io/address/GBHF3JUEPW6YKJ5ZVFBEJNQ55SGLTNKNXH2JWWOWZMPVM3KVTE733JTV

I lost 150 XLM, not much, but I learned something.

NEVER PROMOTE YOUR PRIVATE KEYS. ANYONE
