Reportedly, Localbitcoins.com users have fallen victim to a phishing attack. A fake account on the website redirected users that wanted to trade Bitcoin to another web page. The website urged the users to enter 2FA-numbers. This gave the phishing scammers access to the users’ account. In consequence, all their funds were depleted. Localbitcoin.com reacted by pointing to their security measures and to the fact that the website processes trades only via its own platform.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
