Maybe not new for all here but good that someone warn the others. Think that they made enough victims with such nasty adds on top of the page. Did anyone already report this adds to Google?

yeah i have to agree... nothing new .. 
These fake sites impersonating legit sites have been on top of Google search for more than a year. I think the fact that they are still active is that no one is reporting them as being a scam site to Google.
I think there are enough eagle eyed Bitcoiners who do report like mad. These are fresh sites that pop up every time. Even if you're only up for a few hours you might get lucky and milk someone of their coins.
This current one is indeed new, but there was one that has been on top for more than a year. Looking at the register date of the domain 2016-09-24 there is also another one created on exactly the same date which is block~chianes~.info without the two ~ of course. I just put it there so no one can accidentally click on it.
That has been around for awhile now, i think blockchain themselves made a referance to it at one time.

Logging into your wallet from a browser is already known as being risky. Except these kinds of scams, there are also other huge risks: keyloggers, hackers and viruses. Also other physical threats like thieves. I'm using a very old laptop (2006) with a Live Linux CD which removes any change that has been made on it when you power it off. This means your data, cache, passwords, absolutely everything is being removed and the next time you boot you'll have a new, clean OS. This makes my laptop way more secure, and I trust logging on Blockchain from it. However, as I said, browsers can be dangerous. Therefore, I prefer using my secondary phone as a Blockchain wallet.

Do not Google for it, if you know it. Just type your URL and you will not be caught by this. Kaspersky also auto detect, when you are
using sites with SSL security and offer you browser protection to protect your passwords. You should also use 2FA to protect yourself
further. I do not keep large amounts in these online sites for this very same reason. Use a hardware device like Trezor for bigger
amounts of coins or cold storage for even bigger amounts.

Thanks for notifying this but if this gets shut down another one pops out. I have also seen several similar types of fishing blockchain.info clone sites before and also some of them have sended fake emails to reset password or login to verify your account etc messages. Better to stay away from all of this clones/fishing sites, don't forget to check the URl on address bar everytime you visit your wallets or exchange platform.
I do not know why Google permit this kind of scam , I have been watching several scam ads promoted by Google , we must be careful before clicking any link , thank you for warning us , and I hope Google stop promoting these ads.
Right at the top.. www.blockchian.co
They will steal your coins if you put your PW in that site!!!!!!!!!!!!
