Title: BitcoinPaperWallet.com apparently a scam

This site has a backdoor according to coindesk.com.  Read all about it:

A backdoor in the code.  Note this is a different outfit than the more popular bitaddress.org, which I would avoid anyway.

It's something known by people for about 10 months. The owner who bought the site 2 years ago modified the code, so the back door was here since the new ownership since the last change in the code was in 2018.
By the way, he also owns walletgenerator
