...because tomorrow maybe another one like this.

and who is to say that [insert any bitcoin wallet name here] wallet won't also discover a security vulnerability tomorrow? Roll Eyes

... and also that their first fix wasn't a fix either, that have upgraded it again.

Actually their "first fix" WAS a fix... it was just very blunt and simply disabled the unsecure functionality completely, until the devs had time to implement a "proper" fix. Hence why there were "two" upgrades.

What is really important to me in situations like this is the response of the devs... which, in my opinion, has been fantastic. Once the issue was identified as being serious, they IMMEDIATELY released a "fix" which helped to secure the wallet, which then gave them time to implement a "clean" fix that enabled them to keep the original JSON-RPC functionality, but secure it properly.

They also didn't try to hide anything... it would appear they tried their best to make it known that there was an issue and that people needed to upgrade. Full credit to ThomasV and the Electrum devs.

...this probably says more about how poor the wallet ecosystem is in general than how great Electrum is. Every wallet is seriously flawed in many ways.
