Classic Ether Wallet Compromised via Social Engineering

Developers of Classic Ether Wallet said an attacker managed to hijack the domain for the wallet via social engineering late Thursday evening. A hacker called the domain s registry and impersonated the owner of the service in order to gain control of the site. The site was blocked by a phishing warning from Cloudflare briefly on Thursday and unreachable for most of Monday morning. Administrators are encouraging users to use a secure version of the wallet at a site hosted at Github or myetherwallet.com and its $ETC node.
