The address started sending out dust transactions to multiple addresses yesterday. Fortunately it looks like the link (New Message - bitmsqr.com) has been removed (by blockchain.info staff?)

The address started sending out dust transactions to multiple addresses yesterday. Fortunately it looks like the link (New Message - bitmsqr.com) has been removed (by blockchain.info staff?) I would say this is a prime example as to why you should only log into any site after you have personally typed in the address into your address bar Title: Re: Caution - Large scale phishing attempt (targeting blockchain.info wallets) Post by: twister on October 04, 2014, 06:59:54 AM Seems to be a genuine phishing attack.

Title: Re: Caution - Large scale phishing attempt (targeting blockchain.info wallets) Post by: chanz on October 05, 2014, 02:47:17 PM I don't even have a blockchain.info wallet but i got my 0.0001 BTC anyways :P They are getting addresses from incoming transactions on blockchain no matter which wallet you have. if it happens to be a transactions going on from your wallet you got one. I got got one yesterday too but now the tagged link "bitmsqr.com" and the message have been removed by blockchain and it's confirmed too now. So, just be careful what you click at.
