Followers of https://twitter.com/blockchain = 26.9K [Real]

Followers of https://twitter.com/biockchain = 69.8K [Fake]

Here is the heads up from Andreas M Antonopoulos (@aantonop)

Quote
Fake @Blockchain Twitter account is BACK. Twitter has not responded to 4 requests to block the impersonating account.

Source: https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/449767712781123584

...be careful.

So, the whole attack costs just about $100, or even lower if he got some bulk order discount...

Just see how many blockchain.info account thefts are reported every week. If they can pocket a part of it, it is far more than $100.

You'd be surprised. If someone tweets them asking for help they could sucker them into messaging them their account and password etc or linking to a phishing site.
