Not the first not the last.

BlockChain.info is not the only target, we've seen LocalBitcoins, coinbase, btc-e, and main exchangers, online wallets, and p2p websites.

This is exactly why 2FA is mandatory in our website, and registration/login is via Phone number / pass / 2FA.

The ones who actually use the site by typing it themselves might wont get affected by this but the ones who use google search mostly would probably get in trouble if they click on it unknowingly, because i have seen a lot of people who always google the things before opening them, even facebook.

Hey!

I just typed 'blochchain.info' with google search.

1st result is: Ad - www  bi0ckchein  info/Wallet/Login‎



Be careful!



There are two addresses phishing, wtf google. That's why I never use the search engine Google to open a website address mainly bitcoin wallet online.

We can avoid this links easily by typing Blockchain.info without using google search, then we can bookmark the site for the future visits, I'm doing that after I was about to lose reasonable amount in Poloniex when I faced the same fishy case, but in my case, they send it to my e-mail, I noticed the difference after I had clicked the link, fortunately I did not lose anything.

Hey, I agree. I'm always super careful about any ads, addresses etc. But it's pretty shitty for those who ie. are not so aware and for example it's their 1st time with blockchain.info.



Scenario:

A non-tech person with a little computer skills heard about Bitcoin and something about online Bitcoin wallet blockchain. On a hassle he typed blockchain.info into google search Smiley and without enough awareness and knowledge he will create his 1st wallet on a scammy site Smiley this is a possible scenario.

I can think about other scenarios Smiley Even tech people sometimes use google search and sometimes with a strange circumstances they may lost their regular awareness and got scammed by such simple phishing sites.


Well .. also we can say that blockchain online wallet is usually used by newbies or people who for some (strange) reasons like/need to use blockchain online wallet.  
If scammers are investing into such ads it must be (perhaps is) working.


I think that Google should pay more attention to prevent such attempts but well ...  Smiley



Best regards.
