Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Sounds like over zealous noob-proofing on Google's part?

Er... somewhere in the speculation section. It wasn't a constant thing: it happened twice in maybe 50 page loads.

IIRC, the same thing happened in 2011.

Not trying to make you panic or anything, just saying I got this message.  Wink

I like how a person is depicted stealing virtual coins.

I PM'd theymos about this (and moved the topic to Meta)

Edit:

@OP
If it's rare I'm guessing it may have to do with an ad, did you notice anything consistent?

Google is a little too paranoid, sometimes, because if there were a vulnerability with images, we'd all be screwed - blacklist or not.

Well, there was once a major security issue with the way GDI handled images, actually:

But yeah, for the most part there haven't been any major exploits to the make the rounds in the last few years along these lines.
