Popular wallet developer Electrum has released an emergency patch for a key vulnerability in its Bitcoin wallet. The vulnerability allows any website hosting electrum wallets to potentially steal a user's cryptocurrency. A vulnerability means that the password is exposed to the JSONRPC interface, implying that the hacker has full control over the wallet. The first patch failed to fix the problem, forcing Electrum to release a second update on Sunday night.
In addition, the latest version of UBTC Electrum Light Wallet v3.2.8 is available for download.
A new repo qtum-electrum-new has been built to add qtum-related features to the latest code for Bitcoin electrum.
