Watch Out - Fake Wallet Generator Website is Out to Steal Your Coins
Wallet generator is the most popular website for creating most secure cold storage wallets called - paper wallets for loads of coins.
Currently when this issue of 1:1 copy of website was found the site itself is turned off https://walletgenerator.org/ (some people speak about ddos going on it)
So the developer verified that only secure website is https://walletgenerator.net/
Most secure way
The best way is to actually download the script, put it on computer than never been on internet or at least took off internet connection and then generate https://github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/archive/master.zip from here.
The fake copy of website was found just 8 hours ago, its possible it was running for over a month.
If you have generated paper wallets lately make sure you have used proper source or move coins ASAP.
Thanks for this useful information.

Hi ,
Nice work sir
There's always that odd person with the mindset rip off other people's hard earned money..... Bad
Good read! I mean with BTC prices skyrocketing I think it makes more sense to try cloud mining because of higher returns. https://hashflare.io/r/7487B9DC 10% OFF voucher: 7487B9DC-10OFF

I’ve never come across this before but tbh I’m surprised they havent appeared before. Where there is money there will be scams!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. This is scary.

that is really a great information for people who are willing to store their coins safely,, Personally I never used a paper wallet,, but I just hope lots of people read your article,,
It is really hard to loose any coin that you want to store in a paper wallet and keep.
thank you & keep it up
Thanks bro! Much appreciated
Yes. I agree with you. @kingscrown provide always very informative post to people. I like the information about cryptocurrency. I am the fan of cryptocurrency Thank you @kingscrown for sharing this it.
Wow! If this site has been up for a month or longer I wonder how much they could have stolen. It's ironic too, because I just wrote recently about using a paper wallet generator, and yes the only safe way to do this is by downloading the source and using the generator offline. It's a shame for those that may have lost coins, and as the price of Bitcoin continues to increase I'm afraid we'll continue to see an increase in hacks and scams meant to steal Bitcoins.
Thanks for sharing this information as soon as it became available @kingscrown!
great post
