Phishing for Bitcoin with fake 0-days

I saw that one. I’m sorry to say that my first thought was “Anyone dumb enough to fall for this deserves to lose their Bitcoin.”

Widespread adoption of crypto-currencies by people who really don’t understand them could create a new golden age for scammers. On the other hand, the scammers seem to be doing just fine separating people from their traditional currency on-line, so maybe it won’t make a difference.
