Title: Blockchain.info wallet and email wallet backups? Post by: matthewh3 on June 14, 2012, 04:25:39 PM Hi the blockchain.info wallet offers automatic email wallet backups. As emails are just sent in plain text does this mean anyone sniffing your internet traffic could intercept the email backup easily and steal your wallet? If so is the GoogleDrive backup option a better idea then email backups?

It is no easier to get into the email backup of the wallet than it is to login to the website, assuming you have a good password.Title: Re: Blockchain.info wallet and email wallet backups?
