http://https-blockchain-us.superpages.co.cr/ *******FAKE BLOCK CHAIN WEBSITE******

This popped up when I clicked my LEGIT blockchain bookmark. I perhaps had my wireless / computer devices compromised?!

Hope we can shut this site down?

If you were redirected to a fake site after clicking on a bookmark then you either have malware or there is an issue with your ISP/VPN provider (or you are using TOR and there is an issue with the exit node).

If you are using a VPN/tor then it would not be your ISP (most likely). What ISP/VPN are you using?

Might write a script to post thousands of random users names and passwords to it.

Was the URL on your bookmark modified? What if you type the actual blockchain.info URL manually - does that get changed too or do you get to the legit site?

Answering these questions should give you a better idea of what happened.

Alway check the web address is correct on the top of browser before inputting account name and psd! This type of phishing attack is everywhere.

It's definitely work of a malware, bookmarks can't change themselves, you should run a deep scan of your computer, or best just do a clean install of the OS. Reported this website on google phishing, I would ask others to do the same, with many reports there will be a warning when someone visits the site. Thx for the info OP.

Be careful with phishing sites man.
Even hackers are interested in bitcoins aswell.

This is why I always check before logging in.
