Electrum Fixes Critical Flaw That Redirected Bitcoin to Attackers

The significance here is less the bug itself than the trust model it exposes: Electrum's reliance on third-party servers means wallet security depends on infrastructure users rarely inspect. The fix closes a confirmed hole, but the absence of details on affected users or losses leaves the practical scope unclear, which matters for anyone who transacted through the wallet before the patch. Whether Electrum publishes a fuller post-mortem, and whether similar server-side manipulation surfaces elsewhere in the wallet ecosystem, is the open question worth watching.
