Most of the time such giveaway attempts are similar to crypto giveaway frauds ending up incurring an unrepairable loss. Meanwhile, Bitcoin.org and other sub-pages are not accessible as the current homepage doesn’t allow clicking into any other pages like the PDF version of the Bitcoin whitepaper is not functional.

A pseudonymous operator COBRA maintains the website. In June, the owner lost the case to host the Bitcoin white paper, due to copyright infringement. The same website was hit by a massive ransomware attack in July. The owner seems to be having a tough time, addressing the present hack event Cobra tweeted he is looking into the issue and the website will be down for a few days.

Bitcoin.org, the oldest bitcoin education website introduced in the year 2008. The website also acts as a bridge to find all the tools needed to start transacting in Bitcoin exchanges, wallets, events and more.

The main aim of the website is to educate new users to adopt Cryptocurrency and start transacting from anywhere across the world.
