IOTA has serious security flaws.

Yes. Wallet doesn't verify that the user knows how to use IOTA. It's a very serious flaw.

You know what, I'd be happy if there was a warning on the wallet.  That'd do me.  All I'm doing to trying to prevent other users suffering a similar fate. 

So many people have been hacked, (1,000's  Search on google, it is really scary) I truly hope no more holes are found and this hole is promptly filled but it is still a vulnerability. 

With SOOOO MANY cases I feel it's a little unfair to continuously blame the user under the circumstances.  IOTA should take action to bring awareness to users.

Since they neglect to do so.  I am helping IOTA by doing it for them.

HACKED CASES : (I am adding to this list and will continue to post and update)
