are you sure it is taken down.?
I can no longer see that paid phishing link when searching the word "blockchain". So, it seems it has been taken down by google. Now steps should be taken towards taking the website down..! 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... The site isnt up anymore?! Looks like you guys were confused lol.  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/blockchainhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=318064.0They must have changed it very recently as they tweeted it as a scam site !!!

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

It was confusing because It was shared and spread that way[look at the thread title] ..!  and I never used blockchain.com before..! so was a bit confused and thought it is being used by hackers for phishing purpose as mentioned by OP. |

I still don't understand. Blockchain.com is owned by (and also directly links to) Blockchain.info. Then why would Blockchain.info tweet about it and mark it as a phishing attempt?

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 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. |

This is still happening - just got the phishing email. It is not an email that this thread is talking about, it was a link that came up when you searched for Blockchain.info in a search engine. Someone created a phishing site and then paid Google for ad service, which then put it up at the top of the search results. It did not say Blockchain.com either, it said Blockchain.info. It has since been taken down. This is the wallet of the attacker, a nice little haul! Fucking piece of shit!!! https://blockchain.info/address/1PfzGSswTmaekotjP9zZgYveLhB8ADx86X |

I know about this too and also these days many users including myself are receiving fake emails claiming to be blockchain with the ditto pattern having the phishing link saying unauthorized access blocked click to change your password! !

No, Blockchain.info was not a phishing site, someone created a website and paid Google for an ad and the new site was a phishing site. It did say Blockchain.info in the link, but you can make that say anything you want. The site is now gone/taken down. |

The email just arrived, looked suspicious to me. Stay safe, everyone! |

You could probably also contact google and let them know what happened if you clicked on the site and lost money due to malware. I feel like Google would be happy to give you their info, especially with a court order.
