My video "not suitable for most advertisers" - it's just me cleaning my air filter with a vacuum cleaner

Image
Limited or no ads due to content identified as not suitable for most advertisers. Review requested. Right now we are only able to review videos with at least 1,000 views in the past 7 days. We'll review your video once it reaches that threshold. I am not trying to make money with this video. However I am worried that the YouTube's system for detecting "bad" videos is out of control - it demonetizes perfectly "safe" videos.

Just saw this suspicious advertisement on Facebook for www.ethpaperwallet.net - phishing website

Image
Do not trust websites for generating private keys and/or creating paper wallets, which are advertised on Facebook! Tested it and confirmed - it sends the private key to the person paying for the advertisement.

Stealing Bitcoin "is nothing illegal, but morally wrong" - WTF?

Image
After I reported this phishing website to the web hosting provider I got this shocking answer:

Suspicious website cryptocurrencysecurityadvice.com - probably hosting malware

Image
This website have only one page (the homepage) and is using the logo of Coin Telegraph (probably without permission). It advertises and hosts suspicious .exe files. I tested them with VirusTotal and some of the antivirus programs detect trojans. Links on the header and on the footer are not working (except the link to CoinTelegraph). Also the "subscribe" feature is fake. Screenshot of the cryptocurrencysecurityadvice.com: Screenshot of the original Coin Telegraph: According to signatures the files are signed by AGM 1980 Limited: Links to VirusTotal reports: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/584024a88ccf88842991aba9c8574c569c4ff9dba79c6533ac3f1d4dcae68fdf/analysis/1513447866/ https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/9e776b006cdd8d8c8870b8697535011d84be7d4ca5d899e435533c194d060455/analysis/1513447905/ https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/960f77194f0e91ff4fa5419cf99046e75860ed4d8e2c84a8ebf9f7a5676abfdb/analysis/1513448162/ https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/43b7305092

Example of "phishing" Bitcoin wallet generator - walletgenerator.org

Image
The website on walletgenerator.org is a modified version (phishing replica) of walletgenerator.net. (Update: the walletgenerator.net also may contain malware, I did not tested it yet, and I would not trust any such wallet generator.) The phishing site is stealing the private keys and the pass-phrases.
