To blockchain.info wallet users, Be aware of phishing sites

[coinzat]

I want to warn all blockchain.info users from a phishing site I saw today on google ads when I searched the word "blockchain", this scam site appears as the first result in the webpage as google show their ads at the top. the site is www dot blockchlan dot info , which of course a scam site that will steal your wallet identifier and password once you inter them and as you may notice, the domain has a very little difference (the letter i and l ) with the real site.
 
so before logging to your web wallet, make sure you are on the real blockchain.info website with https link.

You can also notice this when u log in, the wallet id is always already showed if u login on the real one.
If you go to a phising site, then it will not be filed in automatically.

Yeah I agree with you, putting the site in the bookmarks is better than searching on google and facing these kind of phishing sites

You can also notice this when u log in, the wallet id is always already showed if u login on the real one.
If you go to a phising site, then it will not be filed in automatically.

This depends on if the user is storing his browser cookies or not. I always browse in incognito mood so this difference will not work for me

Then u can make a file with the correct link in it and block all phising sites of blockchain.info

I am going to search for a few phising sites, so people will not fall for it.

Has there been a case of theft related to the site ?
This is really dangerous because the site occupies the top position in the search engine google if not careful someone could be fooled
This should be reported to the blockchain.info or google

[sukamasoto]

To prevent this, I'm usually bookmark the real one so I'm never re-search again to prevent this happening...
So once I'm bookmark for it, i'm just click and will not worried for clicking the fake one

[FruitsBasket]

I have contacted google about the phising site: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/static/submit_success.html?hl=en
I hope they will block the site very quick, and remove it from their ads. I entered the fake site, and u can see that now new transactions are appearing, so that is also a way to see it.

[Racey]

I stopped bookmarking, as this too can also be a danger, as hackers who get into your computer can read your browser cache and passwords.

I now have my wallets backed up offline, on a plug n play hard drive.
Only switch it on when making transactions.

You could always put your wallets/details on a usb stick.

Here is some info from who is lookup of the phising site, of course it has been protected by a guard, so most of it will make no sense

I hope we can take it down somehow, I contacted google already about this, see what they will do.

Nice of you
Google is usually quick about phishing websites and should be removed any time soon
Though this doesn't change the fact that many phishing website are appearing everyday
Solution for this to not use blockchain wallet so we don't grabbed by blockchain phishing website

There are many hack attempt to blockchain.info everyday and there are some cases where users funds had been stolen.
The most famous case is where a hacker returned 267BTC, source

Also, in past they have many bugs such as flaws when make a new address through mobile apps.

Thank you very good for the information and good suggestion regarding getting saved by going through bookmark, recently my friend got his computer hacked by some site he downloaded the exe file and his computer got hacked throught that keylogger exe , he lost nearly 0.5 btc ,

Now a days their are so many hackers roaming in the cyber who are ready to steal if you do a single mistake.

How did u get the real information?
Also we could do a DOS attack on this site untill Google shuts it down.

[Avirunes]

Thanks for awaring about the phising sites.Really appreciate it 👏👏 .I think by this time most of bitcoin users should be aware of such things like phising and all and should also be aware about some security measures as well.Anyway really appreciate OP's work of coming forward and letting us know about it.

Update:I searched up again from google but it is not showing.I guess google removed it

I don't see why people are still using online wallets these days. The only one that actually has a use is coinbase, as they pay your fees


I currently use a Ledger wallet, but I've just ordered a case.

Good to know, thanks for the warning man

Because some online wallets are used to cash in and cash out like in my place there is no other better way to convert your btc to fiat than the online wallet's offer. But this site is 2 years running until now
