Topic: blockchain.info email - page 2. (Read 1918 times)

Do not click on these emails when you login to your account... rather go to the site directly {type in Url} and then login. Most of these emails are

trying to mimic the emails received from Blockchain.info and are most probably a phishing attempt. You have 2FA and a password on withdrawals, so

they cannot do anything, if they cannot get hold of your cellphone to login. If you using a webmail service, it is most probably compromised.  

sent support and ask them to fix it,show your valid identity and dont open your account in other device,i also ever have same problem on coinbase.

I have always received this email when I login to my blockchain.info account (maybe because I have signed up the account from my old ISP IP address and I'm now using my new ISP). However I think this is a good security for my coins (though I have abandoned that wallet). Few days ago, I have received a mail of this kind from an unknown IP address (meaning that the account  is being hacked). However the hacker can't take my keys away. So, security is more important than convenience, at least for me.

Don't hesitate! Change all your passwords, email addresses, don't leave anything to chance here bud, if something smells fishy then there's probably fish around. or pussy, but not in this case it's definitely suspect activity on your computer that needs to be resolved.

sometimes its not a hack attempt. sometimes the email you received could be the Phish itself.

i hope you didnt click on the link and log in using the link from that email

Did you set up an easy to remember alias for your account?

On the really rare occasion that I log back into my old blockchain.info account, I always get an email asking me to authorize the login by clicking the link. As far as I know, the only way I am usually able to login is with my Identifier and my password. Once I do that, I get an email, then I click the link to verify my browser and IP, and I am in.

So I just got an email like I usually do, but I was not trying to access the account. The IP and location says "IP Address: 92.38.78.23 (Czech Republic)", and browser is Iternet Explorer FFS, so definitely not me, not even the same country.

So how could someone have my Identifier and password if I am the only one that has that? I do also have 2 factor authentication, and a secondary password for sending out, but still, its very odd. The email says if I did not try to login, maybe I was the victim of a phishing attack. No, very very very unlikely...and even then, it would involve me attempting to login which I have not done for ages.

The only thing I have done recently at all that has anything to do with blockchain.info, is update the android apps for wallet and merchant that I have on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas? I am not really worried since I dont keep any coin there, but I still keep the wallet open because it is a public address I have used for years.
