There has been an increased number of "fake" electrums out there, be careful.

Hi all,

This is my first post.

I believe I downloaded the recent fake Electrum on Github after seeing an update for 3.4.1.

Back in December/Jan, I tried to install in on iMac, and it was giving me warnings when I tried to run it.

However, then I left it for a while, and only today I heard about the fake Electrum.

I just wanted to ask....how do I remove or check what's been compromised on my MAC?

Thanks!

The only thing that would be compromised here are your private keys.

if your funds are still accessible you should be fine.
To be sure just create a new wallet and transfer any remaining funds to it.

Allow me to bump this topic with a link to my topic in Press: [2022-09-13] Man arrested for laundering millions from malicious Electrum update. I couldn't find back this topic earlier.

I'm curious if any of the recovered funds will ever make their way to the victims. Even if the victims file a claim, their wallet was compromised so you can never be sure they're the real victims.
