Scams that convince people to give away their bitcoins by entering information into a legitimate-seeming (but fake) website are on the rise. But a new phishing campaign that targets people worried about the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, which tore across parts of Caribbean and Florida this week, might just be a new low.

The scam, which appears to be an evolution of an existing phishing campaign, was publicized in a Reddit post on Tuesday by Chicago-based Bitcoin ATM company Athena Bitcoin. According to the company, it received a phishing email purporting to be from Blockchain, a popular blockchain explorer and digital wallet service, warning them that Hurricane Irma had damaged the company's servers in Florida and that their bitcoins may be at risk of becoming irretrievable. As a result, the scam email instructs, the victim must transfer their bitcoins to a new address and server located in Ontario, Canada.
