According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

This link is to report adsense violation and blockchain.com does not use adsense.

ya adsense is for websites hosting ads

I think posting ads is adwords

And if blockchain.info has his own trademark they can settle it faster

Fuck!! I just figured this out myself! Posted last night about possibly getting hacked, and just searched for Blockchain, and the first one that came up i clicked on, and I noticed that the icon was different, and realized immediately what had happened. Fucking cock suckers!!! Took my mortgage payment for this month!!

Looks like they got 8 people so far after me. Unfortunately, I was their biggest score!

Thanks for the warning its good to know to be careful to not go to the wrong site
I wish they bought the IP and related addresses so that it wouldn't happen though.

Another heads up from BlockChain.info. Be careful about vanity addresses...

I can no longer see that paid phishing link when searching the word "blockchain".
So, it seems it has been taken down by google.

The website www.BlockChain.com is still up and I think, those who have downloaded and installed the android wallet from them are infected. Experts are requested to clarify my statement...

Looks like you guys were confused lol.  Grin

The site blockchain.com is legit, and is owned by blockchain.info.
You can find the link in the blockchain.info twitter profile. https://twitter.com/blockchain
