Hackers hacked Bitcoin.org and posted a fraudulent ad

Hackers gained unauthorized access to the Bitcoin.org information resource and posted a fake cryptocurrency giveaway ad on it. Fraudsters offered users to transfer bitcoins to an unknown address and receive double the amount in return. As of 10:20 a.m. Moscow time, the site remains inaccessible because Namecheap, the domain registrar, has restricted access to it.

The operator of Bitcoin.org said that the developers are already figuring out how attackers managed to gain access to the resource. He speculated that the hackers took advantage of a vulnerability in the Cloudflare service because the hack occurred two months after the site was connected to it.

"Bitcoin.org was never hacked. And then we switched to Cloudflare and two months later we got hacked," the site operator noted.
