They lead to this pastebin dump:

proceed with caution].
http://imgur.com/QIyHlGJA rather shoddy site, and strange, it isn't in the press, but I'm far too curious, surprise surprise, all of the compromised accounts contain funds, and not only that but the option to withdraw them is practically jumping out of the same page at me!
http://imgur.com/oNZ2OOk,pkvY0Q4#0Clearly my luck is in, hackers have gained access to all user accounts and have benevolently opted to leave the money contained in them to anyone who wants it.
Immediately attempting to withdraw my new found wealth leads to a quick confirmation message "Transaction processed, please check wallet" (or something like that), followed by auto-redirect to a "blockchain" page.
http://imgur.com/oNZ2OOk,pkvY0Q4#1The blockchain page is not a blockchain page (see URL), and so I assume the plan is to target blockchain users (only?), I am asked to enter my account id and password - and presumably my account gets emptied as soon as details are entered.
They also threw in a malicious file auto-download somewhere along the way (quarantined immediately) - so treat with extreme caution if investigating (I used a local client with NO wallet data anywhere near it, and with restricted permissions).
