I stupidly followed SafeTrader.io’s guide to scam myself…

I have been using bitcoins for a little bit more than six months now. I found this cool website online that seemed to be apart of LocalBitcoins. It looked pretty authentic with reviews, so I blindly followed the instructions.

The site requires me to create a bookmark (it was some JavaScript) and then open it when I’m on the LocalBitcoins website. I mindlessly did all of that and when I clicked on the bookmark.

The JavaScript code asked me to authorize myself via LocalBitcoins. (I shouldn’t have done that.) Apparently, it was a cross-site scripting attack and now I’m sitting here with nothing on my LocalBitcoins’ account except the stupid bookmark that stole everything.
