A warning to my fellow Bitcoin enthusiasts: If you mistype coinbase into your browser, you will get bit-jacked.

I was trying to login to Coinbase from a fairly new laptop.

The site looked right. But for some reason my auto-fill wasn't working. I thought this wasn't right, but it was a fairly new laptop... So I manually typed in my login and 2fa. Then I got a text that I changed my 2fa. I didn't do that! So I tried to login to coinbase again. My 2fa code wasn't working. uhoh. I opened coinbase app on my phone and saw 2000 was purchased in Bitcoin. OMG! I disabled my account immediately. My mobile app was signed out. Then I got the email for the 2000 purchase. I dont think the attacker had enough time to send my funds out. Then I looked at my browser history. I guess I went to coinbasi dot pro by typing coinbasr dot com instead of coinbase! Then I emailed support @ coinbase my issue, what happened step by step, a screenshot of my browser history, my IP address, and a message that any activity not from my IP address was unauthorized. Mrrr. I plan on traveling internationally and was going to sell some coin to add to my bank balance, instead two grand was siphoned. I might have to change my departure date now. I'm definitely calling my bank in the morning. I'm nervous because anytime I email coinbase support it takes like a week to get an answer back. Ugh.
