Title: Metamask seed phrase issue (!) (warning for all users!)
Post by: HonestSurfer on November 20, 2017, 10:55:34 AM
Hi guys, recently I stumbled upon this article:

https://medium.com/metamask/metamask-security-advisory-and-bug-bounty-for-seed-phrase-concern-bbd95ab63210

Apparently there is a serious security bug at Metamask and people have lost all their balances. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any solutions on the horizon?

Please share your thoughts!

Good to know that dev are working on it ! Passphrase are my favorite way to store coin in long term hold. The article is clear and helpful, hope there will not be a lot of people losing access to their ETH...
