Fr I just searched blockchain and click on the first site, thinking it was the the main one .. I was so surprised it turned out to be a phishing site.

Do you even have an account there or were you looking for that site for some other reason?
If you have an account, then you should also have the original link saved in your favorites, and everyone should know that search results can have very dangerous links at the top of the search, especially if scammers use paid ads to appear at the top of the search. Such ads can be blocked in some browsers with adblock - I don't know if it still works on the Chrome browser, which unfortunately a lot of people still use.
When I try to do a search using the Chrome browser, I still see related phishing site ads. Even though the site has been reported and blocked, it still appears at the top of the search. Those who do not use ad blockers on their browsers may still find it.
This kind of thing can happen to anyone who is not focused or in a hurry. Not only beginners who are just looking for the original site, but those who have accessed it but did not put it in Bookmarks or favorites, they may encounter phishing sites.
