Topic: How vulnerable is electrum to the seed issue that android has (Read 1294 times)
At this point I do not know if the android version of Electrum is concerned, but that's quite possible. I am investigating this problem right now.
update:
From what we can gather, this issue seems to be a Java PRNG implementation issue.
Electrum should be safe from this, because it does not use Java; it uses /dev/urandom directly.
However, there might be other bugs in the Android platform, which is under overall scrutiny following this issue.

I restored a wallet using a bit address single wallet private key qr code. All this was done over a android running a cm10 based mod.
Does the issue just apply to the seed or are the actual address's that are created off of it in question?
Am I at risk
specifically what are the implications of my bitaddress seed??

Note that if you generated keys with Electrum, and then imported those keys in one of the Android wallets concerned with this issue, then you are at risk.

How vulnerable is electrum to the seed issue that android has
particularly on the various os
eg
OSX 10.8 +
WIN7 / WIN 8
UBUNTU
etc
etc
does any one even know???
how can we check we are not doing
