Today saw fake blockchain.info advertisement at google search page via adsense.
So seems this is the way it works.

Just had some BTC stolen from this address.  I used Chrome on Windows 7.   Figured out what happened:

I googled "blockchain".   The top result is a paid ad.  This is what it said (sorry i am unable to cut and paste the image here):

  Blockchain - blockchain.info‎
  Adwww.blockchain.info/‎
  Official Blockchain website with wallet, charts, statistics and more

It then takes you to the following site: blockchain.info.wallet.georgia.ru which is a phishing site.   I did not pay attention to the url when I logged in since the site looked legit.

Should had used 2FA and ALWAYS double check URL's.



always use ad block (don't let any google ads through) and ghostery. Also switch to DuckDuckGo.com Much better than Google. They put privacy of users first and money second unlike Google.

edit: chrome is a browser by ad company. You are better off using FireFox or Opera

I bet some kind malware / browser addons / keylogger is on your PC
My friends almost lost all his BTC, but he's enabled 2FA  Grin, i reccomended 2FA SMS Message

Expect, your phone is stolen  Tongue

What browser and plugins are you using? Since Mandrik said it could be due to a third party plugin, knowing this could certainly help.

I'm using IE.
Though I am making the switch to Firefox.

Don't know of any plugins

Old IE version is easily hacked by hacker  Grin
Chrome / firefox is more safer

Yeah if ur wallet is hacked its 99.9% ur fault . SMS 2fA makes huge difference .
And also Don't use IE Cheesy

Just found it interesting that the addresses that the hacker moved the coins to 1LQQkqtWWruiofuD8jkMHxD5jMdKk7Vuh6 is just now laundering the coins. If blockchain.info knew that this address contained ill-gotten bitcoin, why didnt they put a hold on that address or account? They had plenty of time, and the post they made here is proof that they knew about it in April.

Blockchain can't put hold on any address . Nobody can. That is bitcoin.

Have you enabled 2FA?
Have you received some phishing emails and clicked the link?
Have you download some "strange" programs which may contain keylogger?

no,no.and no!


So you don't use 2FA?

3.15BTC was stolen from me on the 29th of April, as well. Don't recall clicking any phishing sites, though.

I made a Reddit post here concerning this issue - http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/24dqdb/blockchaininfo_psa_phishing_defense/. Andreas Antonopoulos created a blog post regarding defending yourself against phishing sites - https://blog.blockchain.com/2014/04/30/psa-phishing-defense/.

Read it and made new wallet with all protection that it can offer. Only thing is i did not download backup , coz i think its not safe to do so. I will not forget passwords. And i think backup can be provided by blockshain support when needed in case blockchain is down.

Damn that happened today to one guy from pd. This is only thing why i hate bitcoin. I got robbed of 0.4 on that vanity site scam that made vanity addyes. I use only blockchain.info as my wallet, i use strong password and sms code , bigger funds i transfer to new blockchain wallet that i login only from my pc. Even cold wallet is not secure if u made it on ur pc , u need to have pc or laptop that never connected to internet, and to make paper wallet on it offline, and store btc on it . But still when u want to spend it u need private key online :S .

Wow, really sorry to hear this was a phishing site. We've seen a lot of these popping up, and we're doing everything in our power to take them down. I just always encourage users to never click on third party links.
