Can anyone help with this? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50883.0 I just tested this myself using the exact version client and os x and no outgoing connections here. Are you sure you dont have another program that was attempting to make an outgoing connection at the same time?

The firewall is application specific, but I restarted a few times and don't get it every time - which doesn't make me feel any better about it. Could another program cause the client to try to open the port? Malicious or not.

Well if they put a backdoor they might only put in Winblows client which is easy to fool people. I find it hard to believe this is anything but a classical backdoor maybe sending list to gov. of who is using the software. Told you : don't use the official client !

Why would the official client be any less safe than a third party client? And I didn't catch this for a week, it was letting the connection through for that time and I've had no unusual activity with my wallet - though I did transfer most of the coins as soon as I found it and blocked the port. I was concerned when I first saw an IRC connection also, but that turned out to be a proper connection. It may help if someone else can duplicate it on any os. |
