Electrum Lightning

By default, electrum wallets are randomly connected to a set of Electrum servers. From a privacy perspective, this is not a good thing because it discloses your wallet address and balance to unknown third parties. And unfortunately, many public Electrum servers are run by individuals or groups of blockchain analytics companies or worse. Therefore, if you are using an Electrum wallet, it is generally recommended that you run your own Electrum server and then connect the wallet to that server.

Electrum tweeted today about the incident, saying it was "a persistent phishing attack on Electrum users" and imploring users to check the effectiveness of the resources they log on to.

On December 27, Reddit user u/normal_rc reported that Electrum's wallet had been hacked and that nearly 250 bitcoins (243.6 BTCs, nearly $1 million) had been maliciously stolen, coinelegraph reported. Electrum then confirmed that the attack included creating a fake version of the wallet to trick users into providing password information. Electrum responded on Twitter that "this is a persistent phishing attack on Electrum users" and warned users not to download Electrum from any source other than the official website.

Bitcoin Wallet providers like Trezor and Electrum.

The text format of the IPv6 address is xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxxxx, where each x is a hex, representing 4 bits. Leading zeros can be omitted. You can use a double colon in the text format of an address (::) to specify any number of 0 bits. For example,: ffff: 10.120.78.40 represents the IPv6 address mapped by IPv4.

There are many options on the market, typical of which are Exodus, Electrum, Armory, Green Address, and more.

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.

Wallet history is available from a central server, such as an Electrum server, but uses a new Tor for each address.
