I got an email like this, this is given to random people who use their gmail for bitcoin service/related?

i get malicious mail in my inbox its weird, malicious mail contains malicious file attached get in my inbox not in spam.
and i think this malicious mail related to bitcoin service because i used this email for bitcoin activity only

this is one of the modern ways that the hackers are using so that they can be able to gain access to the emails you have been holding for a while. They want to gain access and use them to solicitize funds from the competitors. Will a relocation that appears similar to the google one for example if you are using gmail as your email service provider, you will be redirected to a page that allows you to be able to enter password thinking that it is legit only to realize that it was not .

Damn, recently there was a similar mirrored site for blockchain.info as well.Its bilockchain.info .I totally agree they're targeting bitcoin users.Thanks a lot for sharing the info, I would have never figured this out if have had got the email.

I think as long as google can still anticipate email spam into any Google account, do not worry too much, as well as any in the phishing email sent, gmail will filter it and put it into the spam folder.

Many users do receive such mails even if they aren't associated with any bitcoin service. This is because these online forums are often attacked and the email addresses are then leaked which makes us receive spam/phishing emails. I receive mails from fake payza/paypal accounts almost everyday and reporting them also isn't helping.

These people get better at every new attempt... There are so much talented people out their, but they choose to use those talents for the wrong things. They could make much

more money, if they used those talents for honest work. Just report these phishing attempts and spread the word and it would be a safe place for everyone. I report everything

By looking on the tags you should've already know if it's spam ,and i reccomend you to install some antivirus which let you blocked the phising site ,and also take a look on your address bar to see the domain,if it look strange then better close the tab

Thanks...I have a Gmail account and I think that they do a great job of preventing spam, but of course the user control is the last wall vs spammers.
I never open mail from address that i don't know, it's easy nowadays to recognize potential spam/phishing/spoofing mails without open it Wink

Thanks for the warning. These types of attacks can be really dangerous as they look so much like the real messages..

Always double check the email address and the link it sends you to. If unsure, just go through the normal website.

I got one similar to this last week. I almost without thinking fell
for it. Luckily I stopped myself and went to the sites through their
proper URL's.

Wow, these guys are getting really good. Normally I can spot a phising site really fast but this looks pretty real. Of course I always look at the url before clicking so I would still notice that the url is some shady stuff and wouldn't click.

I already get sent eBay ones, PayPal ones and bank ones so some Bitcoin ones won't go a miss I suppose.
