So far I've seen it happen to Bitmit and more extremely Listen to Bitcoin, both websites have been put on warnings and the listen to Bitcoin website has even gotten blacklisted on google in red despite it being completely legitimate, has anyone else seen any Bitcoin friendly sites end up on the blacklist like this? Seems a lot like how people use DMCA take down requests to scare people away from the sites or get them taken down.

Listen to Bitcoin has a new owner(it was sold) that put malicious content there. So no, it was not legit. Congratulations if you now got infected with a trojan wallet stealer.

I think it is more of a typical injection attack rather than targeted at Bitcoin, though I will say a lot are targeting at Bitcoins nowadays, authorities, banks whatever, you name it, we have it.

Phew, nothing found I don't think, so I mustn't have clicked anything bad but yeah I wasn't aware about ListenToBitcoins which is a shame I liked that website, but why would Bitmit get a yellow warning?

I'll bet there's no obscure plot against bitcoin sites.

Like Remember remember the 5th of November said, listentobitcoin.com was sold and the new owner was distributing malware there.

If you like the website you can access http://www.bitlisten.com/, it's a fork by the previous owner of listentobitcoin.com.

If you saw bitmit fall in the search results that's probably because the downtime the site suffered in previous days, the good news is this is not permanent, as soon as google finds the site again it will recover previous position.
