A search for "blockchain" on google resulted in an add on the top of the search result which redirects to, I believe,  a hacked site:

Google URL : http:// goo.gl / 9C321G
Target URL: http://blockchain-info-wallet.megamusicpm.com/

instead of moaning about it on a forum which people can still read in months to come.. how about report it to google and get it taken down instantly.. then it becomes a non issue

that goes for everyone, if you see something bad, report it to the source

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

You'd think google would verify stuff like this. Seems anyone can buy adverts to scam from them.

Posting here is important because this has been going on for months. As soon as Google takes this one down, another one will take its place.

Sorry sir but I think it was a wise decision from OP , to post it here and make others aware of it..! and more people can report it like i did .

The same ad was showing up yesterday pointing to a different URL with the same phishing page.  Here is a link to one of the reddit threads about it:

     http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2749c4/blockchaininfo_phishing_page_on_google/

Sam Spade: We were talking about a lot more money than this.
Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.

I thank God i know how to write an address! blockchain.info is very  easy to write!

But I see everyday people searching on google for gmail or yahoo ....

I just hope they didn't hacked anyone with this cheesy ad!

Thanks for the warning!

Nah, Google verifies after things are reported. Same with the Google Play store; the number one most downloaded anti-virus apps was a scam  (just screens, no scanning at all) Cheesy
