Post by: HasHe on January 07, 2018, 08:35:56 AM
Dear all, just few hours before theymos has given a warning about old version electrum wallets having chance of getting hacked.So,kindly shut down the old wallet and upgrade it soon to the latest version 3.0.4 from the official website Electrum.org.

You could see this warning on top of this forum.Just posting this to alert those who might have missed it.

I don't know about upgrading in mac.But in windows,i just downloaded the electrum wallet of 3.0.5 version and it got updated automatically showing my bitcoin balance.Remember to download 3.0.5 version and not the other versions as they are termed not to be safe.Download only from the official website Electrum.org.
