Topic: Electrum vulnerability found today! - page 3. (Read 645 times)
Thanks guys! Quickly updated to the latest version as soon as I read this thread. Glad to hear that the flaw wasn't permanently damaging to Electrum.
besides the wallet, if you have no password in your wallet, you deserve to be hacked because really, that means you don't give a value to your BTC (dust or not), as soon as i saw the red dot at the top of this page i have upgraded my electrum wallet and everything went fine.
If you don't have a password now it's the time to encrypt it, now.. come on guys, you will not regret to have a password but you will cry hard if you get hacked because you're too lazy to add it.

it is not such a good idea to open your Electrum now that this method of exploiting it have been made public, there are going to be a lot of people who will try to abuse this.
first upgrade your wallet to the new version (or wait a while to see if it is all fixed and then upgrade to the latest version) then attempt to set a password.
it is worth mentioning that none of this would have mattered if you were using cold storage!
I also used the electrum.
Is there any report that someone got lost with electrum so far?

Don't panic! all you need to do is uninstall your electrum and reinstall it or just update, easy as 123 solution but i think there are some people who lost some of their funds because of that issue. Wallets are improving and so the hackers and scammers too, be careful guys even if its safe bad guys will surely look for it.
I have read about it and its very alarming specially to those who mainly use electrum as a wallet.
I do have electrum wallet because of its signing message function which will i be needing for some purpose.
but don't worry guys developers already have an solution, you just need to update your electrum.

End your worries now, you just only need to update your wallet to fix this issue. So if you are still using the old version then better for you to update as soon as possible to avoid the risk of losing your coins.
As you can see, all you need to do is update your wallet, so it's perfectly fine, and you don't need to worry about it.
I think so. You dont need to be worry about it because it just need to be upgrade then everything would be alright.
I think we need to do this to protect our account and make higher security

Strictly speaking, if you neglected to put a password on your wallet, then you probably should worry as your funds are currently vulnerable. But other than that, yes, it should just be a simple update.
Users of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies should also be vaguely aware of the security risks around JavaScript generally. It's not just any given website you happen to be visiting that could potentially run malicious code, but also all the third party websites utilised by that site which handle all manner of things from advertising to multimedia plugins. Browsing the internet with JavaScript completely disabled will result in a somewhat limited experience, as many websites won't function correctly. So the trade-off is to use a browser plugin to manually pick and choose which sites are safe to run JavaScript and which ones should be blocked. For any Firefox/Mozilla users, there's NoScript and I'm pretty sure there's something similar for Chrome users. You'll have to click some buttons for each and every website you know and trust to allow JavaScript, which does take some time and effort, but it's worth it.

I just read about this here:

Can someone inform me should I worry if I am using Electrum with a Trezor?
Thanks
