As many of you know there is a phisher active that uses bing to make ads for blockchain.info, so each time someone searches for ''blockchain'' on bing they will see an ad at the top with the url ''www.blockchain.info'' which is the original and legit site but once you click on it you will be redirected to a phishing url and as soon as you login the script will automaticly send all your bitcoins to the phishers bitcoin wallet, I myself lost over $75.000 with this, all my bitcoins were in there I even had 2FA but they managed to bypass that, so I messaged blockchain.info and bing ads but got no help at all so I started to do my own digging and managed to find the person responsible for all this.

I have already filed a police report, not sure if it will do any good but if you got scammed the same way I advice you to report it aswell!

Thanks and be safe!

I had never used bing and i didn`t knew anything about this nasty phishing scam.
I know that the Yahoo/Bing Ads PPC platform isn`t very strict about accepting direct URls in their ads.
How is it possible for the scammers to bypass 2FA?I can`t believe this.My bitcoins could be also in danger.
I`m sorry about this OP and i hope that the police will go it`s job.

Well guess what ! Phishing is not a new thing in terms of trying to get your login info and private keys to wallets.
In the past two weeks or so, I received more than 7 emails with fake messages from a fake "myetherwallet" site.

They added a single letter in the middle and it looked exactly the same if you're not awake.
Here's two of them.





Just look how well-written and smart the second message is. Sadly anyone who is a newbie would totally believe it and give them his private keys by mistake.

That's why I always advise everyone to never click on URLs in their emails before making sure 100 times that it's the right one and if you're just going into an online webwallet just write in the link yourself.

OP - Good luck with hunting down this ass hole, hope he burns in hell. Nothing worse than seeing these stories about people having their bitcoin’s stolen by hackers/phishers.

Damn, good thing I don't usually check ads and why on earth are you using bing? Always double check what you're doing and specially the URL.

Need some spare btc for a new PC that can at least run Adobe Dreamweaver.

I'm sorry for your loss, man. I would like to point out, however, that clicking an ad to get to your wallet is just a horrible horrible security practice. We all know how proliferate and elaborate phishing sites are, so it's always best to type out the URL yourself. I would advise you to contact Bing to report the phishing ad, so this doesn't happen to others anymore.

I know how angry you are, but it's probably not a good idea to divulge other people's personal information here. This should not turn into a witch hunt. If you have proof, then forward it to law enforcement and let them handle the rest. I hope you get at least some of your money back.
