I used to use blockchain.info as a hot wallet (no longer do) but, I've had the emails for years, and still receive them even though I don't use them. What's interesting is that was a clean email, so I'm unsure how the phishing emails actually acquired the email.

Check guys whether you use the VPN added in your browser or computer when you attempted to login to your wallet and they if you prevent yourself you to login with the exact URL instead of surfing about in Google results.
You will be able to get the more security with the two factor authentication in your transaction only also enough to secure your wallet from hackers. No need to do the big effort from you by going with antivirus or more.

I don't use vpn,  also I always login into a bookmarked  https://blockchain.info/wallet  , and also I use 2FA, and also from Linux (wich is more protected from viruses  than Windows).    So I hope they won't hack me  :D

Here is today's email from "Blockchain"  :)
