Hello Everyone,

There is a blockchain hack going on. If u get a mail that ur blockchain wallet will soon be blocked due to technical services and request you to click on confirm to login to your wallet,

The mail is created with the blockchain logo and color to deceive many blockchain users.

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON IT. PLS DO NOT ENTER UR WALLET ID AND PASSWORD ON THAT SITE.

IT IS A REDIRECT SITE TO STEAL UR DETAILS AND HACK UR ACCOUNT!

First of all Blockchain will never send u a mail from blockchain.com

Their website is always blockchain.info

Secondly the site has no HTTPS on it so ur information is at risk!

3. Blockchain will never send u a maintenance mail for any reason and ask u to enter ur details.

This is a ploy by hackers to steal ur Bitcoins. So please do not click on any link in such a mail.

Pls forward this message to all groups and Bitcoin users to help keep their Bitcoins safe.

Be on the alert. Hackers are developing something new everyday.

Save ur money and be your brother's keeper. Send to everyone on ur list or groups that use Bitcoin so they don't fall into this trap.

Blockchain.info

NA wa oo. these guys don carry thier witch enter bitcoin. With the way its rising you can be sure the hacker will become more desperate.

Hi I have 2 questions:

Which one is second password?

secondly I used my phone number as my 2FA. is it okay? or must it be GA?

thanks in advance

DO NOT use your phone number as 2FA. Reasons
1. It relies on network availability so if there's interruption you can't log in.
2.if phone is stolen, you lose access until u recover the line.
3.anyone with access to ur phone can get into ur account
4. Its relatively easy to hack.

its better you go for app based: GA or authy

Hallo house,

woke up this morning to find my bitcoin account empty when as at last night it was over 500 dollars

checked my transaction history and realise my funds were moved to an unknown bitcoin address

and i didnt get mail to authorize any login as i used to either

Has this happened to anybody before ?..is it recoverable or have i just lost over 500 dollars worth of bitcoin to hackers just like that?
thought they said the site was secure

Yes... it happened to me. I was devastated. I am yet to recover from the loss. I lost about 0.33btc. The hacker wiped my assignment clean. I have since enabled my Google authenticator. I think mine came from yahoo email hacking that happened recently.

Its either network or your mtn line don't receive bulksms due to DND issue. If you try it again and it doesn't come try and change your phone number to an airtel line.

Without the second password your funds can't be sent out that's after you must have logged into your account.

Don't be please, send a mail to blockchain and explain to them the problem you're currently facing and also tell them to remove the 2FA from the account. It should be resolved within 1 week.

Please is it OK to use GA to protect my wallet on blockchain.info. Am asking because I want to use it but someone now told me that GA doesn't work perfectly well on blockchain wallet. Please has anyone experienced any problem in using it.
Thank in advance

chai!
WAHALA dey be that...

please someone should come to my rescue.
my Btc is hanging.

because of the high demand for bitcoins, the transaction fees have gone up and how fast your transaction is completed depends on the transaction fees you pay, the miners choose transactions with the highest transaction fees and then gradually move down the pool. so just be patient you will get your bitcoins eventually

Pro tip from a cybersecurity expert: If you have a btc wallet on any of your devices which you suspect may be compromised, you can secure it against text-based keylogger malwares. Ensure you convert your private key or seed phrase into a QR code. That way, it is no longer text based and can not be copied by any keylogger malware. A popular website to use for this purpose is bitaddress (click the link). Using this link takes you thru an extra security filter on github.

Thank me later.
