Malware alert: website Listen to Bitcoin blocked by Google Chrome

By Maria Santos

Last Updated: Jan 2, 2018

The access to the website Listen to Bitcoin has been blocked by Google Chrome. According to the warning that pops up when you try to enter the page, the Bitcoin transaction visualizer, where you can usually “see and hear new transactions, trades and blocks as they propagate”, is currently infected with malware.

ListentoBitcoin.com was launched back in March of this year by Maximillian Laumeister, a student at the University of California.

“Even if you have visited this website safely in the past, visiting it now is very likely to infect your computer with malware“, it’s possible to read in the warning. It looks like, for now, the website is a dangerous place to visit, but let’s wait for more news about this issue.
