Hi guys.
I just wanted to let the public know that there's currently a phishing attack going on targeting blockchain.info.
I just got an email supposedly from blockchain.info stating that my wallet was credited with 0.54798743 BTC. So I quickly noticed that email address was not under blockchain.info domain. However, the email template layout was very similar to that of blockchain.info.
Also, when I clicked on the link, to check my wallet, the site I was redirected, had the same layout as blockchian.info.
Check it out.

If you look carefully, even though it looks very legit, their domain is https://blockchfain.info
There's that one letter 'F' that is hard to notice. Also, they seem to have all the other pages hosted by the actual blockchain.info.

Just keep an eye out for that and be careful before logging in if you get a similar email to this.
Also, another easy flag to identifying the REAL blockchain should be their SSL certificate. The real blockchain SLL certificate looks like the following



Good luck Smiley

Nice catch, with one as well done as this I can't help but feel there are going to be some unfortunate people that get tricked. Really sucks because most people that fall for it will probably not realize what happened and assume its an issue with Bitcoin.

I got this one today too.  For the same amount.  I deleted it, because I don't just get credited BTC for no reason.

I also got one from myetherwallet about a credit to my wallet.
