To all blockchain.info users beware of the link appeared at the url. Seems like there is a phishing scam with url http://bliockcheiin.info/lndex.html Beware of it and I recommend you to double check before entering your credentials

There's nothing special about it, there are a few of these sites. There's even one showing up as a Google AD (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473390.msg14858373#msg14858373). I always highly recommend that people do not use web wallets at all. At least then you'd not have to worry about phishing links. I'm not sure how many of these there are, but someone could create a list in 'Service Discussion'.

yes blockchian.info is also a phishing site i came accross but fortunately it closed down. i think these phishing sites should be banned forever.

Mind disabling that URL so no one ends up clicking it?

Going for a crazy theory here: What if that's the whole point of this thread?

I called the CEO of the internet, he's gonna take care of it tomorrow.

Can we report these fake sites to Google for phishing? Because the top one in the search results is a phishing site disguised as the Blockchain official website and is using Google Ads to rank high. I think this poses a risk to users who are trying to log in to their Blockchain wallets in a hurry and can click on these sites instead. This is like the oldest trick in the books - just change the position of 2 adjacent letters and half of people won't notice.

Rofl. I think your crazy theory might be closer to the truth than I imagined initially.

The CEO of the Internet?! Bahahah, Can you tell him to to add more cowbell to ebay while he's banishing the phishing sites?

please report it here everyone: https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en i reported this phishing site.

That is the reason I recently transferred most of my coins from Blockchain.info wallet to other wallet. I am usually very cautious about site name and everything but you can't be too sure.
I am seriously surprised that blockchain.info company won't team up with Google to fight these fake sites.

Yeah, always check the website URL before you log in. There are a few of them out there, and they are nothing special. After all, they're supposed to deal with money, right?

But that link is seriously not like the real thing at all. It would be practically impossible to type something like that in the URL box and not notice it :P

No, if u make a typing mistake, u will not come to that address, but when U get an fake email from them with this html code <a href="bliockcheiin.info>Blockchain.info</a> then it will display the link to the real site, but it redirects you to the fake site.

I am once scam by other links like that but on money exchange shapeshift .io someone gave me the link of shapeshit.io when i was starting .it isngood to be aware now to check the spelling of any links or ask first before tryingnto loging in.

its very easy to identify if the site is phishing, See the full domain name , like that  (http://bliockcheiin.info/lndex.html) It should be blockchain.info not bliockcheiin.info

http:// biockchion. info/lndex.html
one more here and it even is posted as an advertisement

It is very easy to look but often we overlook or did not even check the websites.

it'll only show up as blockchain.info in text, when you move your cursor to this hyperlink,in the left-bottom of your browser will show the real link,so, if you really want to keep your money in secure , pay more attention

Based on the spelling alone, it's quite easy to notice it. I doubt if even newbies would be lured into such sites. Had it been spelled blackchain, I would have mistyped it. As always, better to be safe than sorry. That is why I enabled the 2-step verification in my blockchain.info wallet.

Shouldn't Google watch out that sites like those were never appeared in the results of a search? But it looks like they are even helping those scams to appear at top of the list. Weird. Beware guys.

Yep I saw that as well. I even checked out the site because I was curious to see how similar it was made to look to the official Blockchain website and it was an exact carbon copy. This scam is very dangerous because people on mobile devices can misclick on it as it's on the top above the legitimate site. God knows how many Bitcoiners have already fallen for this scam.

You can also change that with html AFAIK.
Just don't enter your email somewhere that is used in a spamming list.

not only blockchain,bitcointalk also have couple of illegal clone site,and the database is connected, i don't know why it could happen but it does happen

i'm sure everybody will aware of it,thanks for remind us about this phising site,but i think people will know that was phising site,its really different with official blockchain site,and this is should post on begginer and help section.

It's funny people can fall for this very simple phishing scam. It's very obvious that it's a scam site by merely looking at the URL. I mean come on, how can you not notice that funny looking URL!? I'm pretty sure only the steps are going to fall for that.

As long as people continue to use the worst of all online wallets the blockchain.info one I am not surprised at all for these phishing attempts which will even be more in the future. Is it so difficult to download a desktop wallet like Electrum ,Multibit or MultibitHD for a simple client, or you can download bitcoin core for the full blockchain. I will not feel sorry for anyone who is a victim of a successful hacking of his online blockchain.info web wallet.

I'm glad that I'm using chrome, it automatically blocked it for me saying it's a poser ;D
