Electrum Lightning

Analysis . . . Bitcoin wallet Electrum "update phishing" currency theft continues.

In contrast, another wallet, Stratis Electrum, is a simplified trading client.

Bitcoin wallet Electrum official Twitter announced that the next version of Electrum will support Lightning online payments. Its lightning node implementation has been consolidated into the main branch of Electrum. Electrum also confirmed that the wallet will adopt a new implementation of in-house development written using Python.

Slow Fog: Bitcoin Wallet Electrum updates the phishing theft that continues.

Electrum Technologies runs a central server to facilitate these exchanges for a fee. This allows users to purchase incoming capacity to receive lightning payments. The developer added.

The electrum and Electrum-LTC versions below 3.3.3 are vulnerable to phishing attacks in which a malicious server displays a message asking the user to download the fake Electrum. To prevent user exposure, versions older than 3.3 can no longer connect to public servers and must be upgraded. Do not download software updates from sources other than electrum.org and electrum-ltc.org.

Users of Bitcoin wallet Electrum are facing phishing attacks, according to Johnwick.io. Hackers broadcast messages to electrum clients through a malicious server, prompting the user to update to v4.0.0, and if the user is prompted to install this backdoor-carrying client, the private key is stolen and all digital assets are stolen. At the time of writing, at least 1,450 BTCs worth approximately $11.6 million had been stolen from phishing attacks that forged Electrum upgrade alerts. Devi Security Labs hereby suggests that versions of Electrum below 3.3.4 are vulnerable to such phishing attacks, and users using Electrum Wallet are requested to update to the latest version of Electrum3.3.8 via the official website (electrum.org), which has not yet been officially released v4.0.0, and do not use the link in the prompt message to avoid asset losses.

It turns out that the FTP account password used to upload local user information, with a normal Electrum Installer file, is used once the user installs it, and sensitive information entered under Electrum is sent to a remote malicious FTP server for reception.

In the Ubuntu terminal, you can use the following command line to access the remote server under the SSH protocol.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, Remy installed CLion via snap because it was obviously more convenient than manually downloading the installation. But just last weekend, he noticed that CLion was automatically updated. In fact, when he noticed the update, the program process was terminated due to an error caused by the update.
