- From goatpig on October 7th 2016:

Situation is back to normal. I am now confident my accounts were not compromised. Regardless, I have recycled the passwords on my accounts and upgraded security practices where possible.

If anything, this episode has reinforced my motivation to add Gitian support to Armory.

This is also a good opportunity to remind community of a few points:

1) When it comes to important announcements, do not trust my forum posts or comments on Github unless they are signed with my offline key (745D 707F BA53 968B DF63 AA8D 8C52 1176 4922 589A).
Day to day troubleshooting and bug discussion do not fall under that scope obviously. Annoucements of this nature do. Releases are also always signed.

2) I will never ask for your private keys or information revealing your identity. The most I ask for are log files, testnet watching-only wallets and blkXXXXX.dat raw blockchain data files.

3) When providing log files, feel free to edit potentially privacy leaking information, however do not simply post a snipet of your choosing unless you are familiar with the method of Armory error logging.
If you have to crop the log file, always prioritize the latest entries.

4) Ultimately the security of the project relies on code reviewers and community testing. Do not hesitate to take part in our testing phases and ask me about change sets. Our IRC channel is a good place to get in touch with me on these topics (no general trouble shooting there please)

5) The trully security oriented users should always at least resort to building the offline signer themselves. Building Armory on Linux is fairly easy, particularly on Debian like distros.
