The blocks were invalid, and has no transactions. afaik the only thing that was a problem would happen if the block reward was spent to
a user that didnt wait for ~30 confirmations like stated in the warning. But as far as i know, that didn't happen.
Always use the latest update of wallet, and you should be safe, atleast that's what i experienced with bitcoin core.

isn't this the whole point of the alert key? last version of core was unaffected, this is why that version didn't tell you about the fork, but 0.10.1 rc1 version did that, there were some users said so in the thread about the spv incident

Yestoday, we experienced a fork. For average people, they even don't know what is fork. They just care whether their transactions are safe.

I want wallets and online blockchain information site(like blockchain.info) can detect ongoing fork and issue warning immediately.
