blockchain.info email

[BTCLovingDude]

i usually receive Emails like this one. nothing to worry about, it is just a way of scamming people to steal their password. just enable 2fa and never click on a link in your email

I have never received any email after logging in blockchain nor was aware of these emails. May be I disabled this option.

Did you try changing your password (if it was possible) after you received this mail or your account cannot be accessed now?

It's not necessarily phishing, and not necessarily something to worry about. I recently got the same mail and just found this thread on it. All links in the email I received link to blockchain.info. Gmail reports that the email was signed by mail.blockchain.info, also owned by blockchain.info.

What caused this? Most likely the fact that I used a really really easy to bruteforce alias (6 chars long I think?).
This does not mean anyone has your password , I tried using a VPN and logging in, blockchain.info asks for a verify email after only providing alias

How do you prevent this from happening again? Change your alias to something longer.
I don't know how to remove an alias, so I've changed it to something arbitrarily long that I won't remember but won't be bruteforcable either. (You can do this if you want to remove it, make it long and random)

Just checked my email, I also got one log-in attempt from Lebanon, I ain't even near Lebanon.

Someone is trying to breach blockchain.info accounts en mass.

Check if you have an account that has been compromised in a data breach

If your e-mail is out there on the internet, you can check if https://haveibeenpwned.com/

One my mine has

if you log in your blockchain.info account from a new browser (something except what you always use) they won't let you log in until you verify you are the owner by clicking on the email they send you.

I think maybe someone is just going around trying to get into tons of accounts. I get the exact email every time I login, but that might be because my pc does not store any web info I would guess. Maybe my alias is too easy....

The thing that you shouldn't do is click on the link that's in the email. Hopefully you didn't try to log on with that link.

I use blockchain.info as well but never got an email like that.

I just got the same email less than an hour ago, with someone from India trying to access my account. I hadn't accessed the account since early 2015 and the link in the email goes to blockchain.info, so I think someone is brute-forcing the aliases like Jambola said. Regardless, I've transferred my remaining balance into a paper wallet for now. Better to be safe than sorry.
