Title: [2019-01-16]‘Critical’ Vulnerability in Beam Wallet Put Funds At Risk, Developer
Post by: ppblockchain on January 16, 2019, 06:19:53 PM
Developers behind the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Beam have revealed that the “critical” bug discovered in their wallet software last week could have put user funds directly at risk.

As stated in a Medium post published today, the vulnerability would have allowed an attacker to create “modified transactions” and subsequently send funds directly into the attacker’s wallet.
