Alert live mirror!

I've just discovered a live mirror of Wikivoyage (...from a certain point of view we should be proud about it ;-)). It will steal our visitors and it could steal also the passwords of not skilled users.

To defend ourself I suggest to apply the following changes:

  1. Create the equivalent page of it:voy:Wikivoyage:Live mirror
  2. Apply this change to MediaWiki:Common.js

Thanks for drawing our attention to this! Can we figure out who launched such a mirror? --Alexander (talk) 14:41, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Alexander, I have no idea, you can look with whois tool to get more information about that site. In the past years it has happened many times to Wikipedia and some of them are still active. PS This mirror, clone all the wiki-projects. --Andyrom75 (talk) 16:25, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Indeed it is worrying, specially if the site gets passwords of unwary users. I will notify this to the Spanish's Travellers' pub. --Zerabat (discusión) 13:03, 21 July 2015 (UTC) PD: notified to the Spanish community: voy:es:Special:Diff/116317. --Zerabat (discusión) 13:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Created voy:es:Wikiviajes:Espejo. Greetings, --White Master (es) 14:15, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
