Title: Warning: websites distributing Electrum binaries
Post by: ThomasV on July 06, 2013, 04:58:54 PM
Today, I noticed that Electrum binaries for Mac are being distributed on both zdnet and cnet:

http://download[.]cnet[.]com/Electrum/3000-2057_4-75951071.html
http://downloads[.]zdnet[.]com/product/2057-75951071/

These binaries are not endorsed by the Electrum developers; I have no link with the cnet/zdnet user who distributes them.
These binaries might contain malevolent code that steals your money.

The official Electrum binaries for Mac are distributed on http://electrum.org

Note: electrum.org will soon have a https certificate. In the mean time, if you wish to check these binaries, please use the PGP signatures that are on the website.

you shouldn't link to potentially incorrect/fraudulent/unauthorized links:

http://downloads[.]zdnet[.]com/product/2057-75951071/
