Looks like that is a Google's ad.
Well then Google is likely responsible for this scam..

A good friend of mine actually said the same thing today. How would one go about holding them accountable? They surely are!
LouReed, when you log into the read blockchain website do you still see a wallet that sent 2 btc today? That 2 btc only went into the wallet 7 days ago and you didn't send it so maybe you didn't really lose 2btc.
Nope, they're gone!! My transaction was the one for 2.2 Bitcoin.
TOR Browser & using G 
gle search?
My man, that should be https://www.ixquick.com/ or https://startpage.com/

Actually, you are right, it was Startpage, and I now feel a little better about being dooped, since the same link is still the first item even in Startpage, but it doesn't say add next to it.
Edit: Actually, I see that it does say "Adds by Google" above it.

That really sucks now I understand why people would fall for the trap
Another reason why I remain suspicious of googles sponsored ads they can sometimes lead to viral places
Holy Mary Mother of Jesus, do yourself a favour and just do not ever click ads, no, no, no, no.
The google ad that literally could cost people thousands quite the scary thing to be honest

Did a little more investigating today, and found out that I was Phished! That's what I get for spending my Bitcoin after a couple cocktails!!! Today when I Googled Blockchain, I just clicked on the top link, and noticed right away that it wasn't right because the logo had changed, and also the address bar was showing the IP address instead of the https//url. I knew instantly what had happened!! Here's a thread talking about the site:

I received this phishing mail two times and it's written in German.
and I never fall into it..
I banned his mail adress don't want to receive annoying mail a third time..

It's actually not an email. Do a Google search for Blockchain, it's the very first result at the top of the page, and it shows as Blockchain.info. When you click the link, you will see that it is using the old logo, and the address bar shows just an ip address.

El Clásico. Sucks like fuck, though at least you've identified the vector & it isn't that your machine is pwned.

Java/web exploit
Actually, this might actually make the most sense. I was using Tor at the time, and in order to use the "Shared Coin" option, you need to "temporarily allow all scripts", and what I did was click "Shared Coin" and then just automatically out of habit went up and clicked for it to allow scripts, and then I went to type in the amount to send and that's when I noticed they were gone.
You know, the strangest thing is, I had forgotten about that wallet, and today when I found it, I thought, "huh, let's see what kind of change I have in this wallet" I was actually shocked when I opened it and saw 2.2 Bitcoin in it! I couldn't for the life of me figure out when I would've sent that much coin to an old wallet that I don't even use anymore, and I still can't figure it out! I know that I wouldn't just forget about $1200+! I tried tracing back the transactions and nothing leads to any wallet that I ever owned! Is it possible that somehow someone else's address ended up in my wallet?? Seems ridiculous I know, but I just can't explain it!
I suspect an address collision. People around here think it is not that common. But, just like the lottery, someone wins every week despite the fact that the odds are "astronomically near zero". 1/35,000,000,000 doesn't seem like good odds, but just go ask the guy who won $500million what he thinks of that theory. Your wallet probably was being 'shared' by an unknowing party and those were actually his $1200 and he probably actually is the guy who took them after noticing his address was being used by someone else (you)
This also makes a lot of sense to me because as I said, I honestly didn't think I had anything but just small change in this wallet, as I hadn't even been in it in quite some time because I had forgotten about it. There's just no way that I would've had 2+ Bitcoin in a wallet and forgotten about it! Like I said, I was fricken shocked when I saw the balance!
Several people have said key logger, but when I created the wallet many months ago, I made the password using just random digits, and then saved it in an encrypted file, so aside from the first time when I created it, I have NEVER typed it, always copy paste. I ASSume this would rule out key logger?
The odds of a collision with a given address are 1 / 1461501637330902918203684832716283019655932542976 per attempt
This backs my assertion. You admit it is possible. Just like the lottery, mathematically improbable, yet it happens all the time.'entire planets quantum tunnelling into different galaxies' - I think you've seen too many episodes of Star Trek
I recommend the armory wallet with a cheap offline netbook for signing outgoing transactions.
This is as sure as it can get...
