Be careful with phishing sites man.
Even hackers are interested in bitcoins aswell.

This is why I always check before logging in.

It's definitely work of a malware, bookmarks can't change themselves, you should run a deep scan of your computer, or best just do a clean install of the OS. Reported this website on google phishing, I would ask others to do the same, with many reports there will be a warning when someone visits the site. Thx for the info OP.

Was the URL on your bookmark modified? What if you type the actual blockchain.info URL manually - does that get changed too or do you get to the legit site?

Answering these questions should give you a better idea of what happened.

This popped up when I clicked my LEGIT blockchain bookmark. I perhaps had my wireless / computer devices compromised?!

Hope we can shut this site down?

Might write a script to post thousands of random users names and passwords to it.

If you were redirected to a fake site after clicking on a bookmark then you either have malware or there is an issue with your ISP/VPN provider (or you are using TOR and there is an issue with the exit node).

If you are using a VPN/tor then it would not be your ISP (most likely). What ISP/VPN are you using?
