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.

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.
