Hello everybody,

I was trying to contact the admins of [Suspicious link removed] but finding no answers I tried with the old method of looking up on Google.
What I found shocked me, a pishing website brought to the top of the list thanks to Adserve or adsense or whatever.

The fake website is triple w biockchaiin.info, and obvious attempt to mimick the web wallet provider [Suspicious link removed]. It's not even good at that, but I regard it as a serious issue nonetheless.

I'd like to prevent damage to as much people as possible, and I don't know any better place to inform about this.
I don't use web wallets, but many other users (particularly those distracted and less tech savvy) could be in danger.

Thanks.

can't they be tracked due to their domain registrars / hosting companies?

All I can do is a puny who.is lookup. Not much to work from that.

edit: I got in touch with blockchain support. They are going to take care of it from this point onwards. I'll lock this thread, I guess?
