Clearly just FUD, may also be someone trying to depress BTC prices.

During the fall a lot may have sold uncomfortably close to the current price hoping to buy back lower. The trend might be broken now so they are scared.

I agree. If your blockchain.info wallet was really hacked, your would know it because all your bitcoin would be gone/missing.

As mentioned above, anyone can create any "label" to their bitcoin address on blockchain.info as long as they control the private key (and know how to sign a message). Any message that you "receive" via blockchain.info is more or less worthless

where0.15 went to 1NPfnbqZAMUnGuNuYwVZdCN4qVzUq4ejG4
and then jumped back and forth between 16JLb and 1NPfn

the spammer owns those 2 addresses, so i googled the addresses 1NPfn

I can understand if it is for advertising. But that message doesn't lead to anything. Probably something like ddos attack to cripple the network

I wonder why they waste their time doing that? any benefit?

Some people might believe it. They are giving it a try. If the person believed it, then they got a success. Roll Eyes

I think they have nothing to loose except this satoshis which is toooo small.. Roll Eyes

Anyone can add a "tag" to an address on blockchain.info. Its just someone sending you spam.

I'm almost positive its just spam from a troll. A lot of people will crap themselves when they see this no doubt, so well done whoever it is. Grin

!! HODL !!

A few minutes ago my Bitcoin address received 2 small deposits (1 satoshi each).

I am aware of the 'satoshi spam' where many sites just spam random addresses with small deposits to advertise.
But this address was labeled "Blockchain accounts hacked"

https://blockchain.info/address/16JLbXYe5xmxGNX8hiqooyTUJnhitNNqTh

Is there any substance to this? Are any Blockchain accounts really hacked or it is just FUD?
