Google developers have discovered that a Bitcoin wallet Electrum vulnerability could lead to money being stolen from websites.

According to Reddit users, youTube, the video-sharing platform, allegedly miscast malicious ads about Electrum, the Bitcoin (BTC) wallet. In a Reddit post, a user named mrsxeplatypus warns the public about malware and describes how scam ads work: malicious ads masquerade as an Electrum ad, and even display links that are correct, but immediately start downloading malicious EXE files when you click on the ad. As you can see in the picture, the URL it sends to me is elecktrum.org, not electrum.org.

Recently, Microstable online monitoring of a group of foreign hackers since 2015, began to register adtool.tech, jam-software.xyz, robomirror.xyz, electrum-wallet and other phishing host management tools Bitcoin wallet website domain name, used to spread bundled backdoor tool software, once users download from these sites adtool, robomirror, electrum and other tools, will be the host cryptocurrencies-related data back to the hacker's C.C. server.

Ivan is not weak: I can also send you some bitcoins, you can download Coinbase, and then tell me your Bitcoin address.

JoinMarket can interact with a Bitcoin Core full node to get the history of your wallet in a private way.

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.

On the morning of January 1st, Professor Jonathan Katz, Chief Scientist of Fractal, explained the fundamentals and working mechanisms of Bitcoin and blockchain. Professor Katz explains in detail the context of the Nakamoto Consensus Agreement through the "Throw a Problem - Solve a Problem" lecture. Professor Katz also describes the basic theories of cryptography, such as Hash functions and digital signatures, and how Bitcoin uses cryptography techniques to achieve features such as security and centralization. In addition, Professor Katz describes other core Bitcoin features such as UTXO and Mining Reward. During the course of the story, the audience asked very positive questions, and Professor Jonathan Katz carefully answered questions about Bitcoin and blockchain.
