Security firm Proofpoint has identified a phishing campaign targeting users of popular Bitcoin wallet Blockchain.info, which has more than two million users.

The phish begins with an authentic-looking email that notifies the recipient of possibly suspicious activity – a potential “hijacker” attempting to log in from China, according to a Wednesday post. Users are advised to click a link in the email to reset their passwords.
