Why? Because of the recent phishing attack?

The Electrum wallet is probably the only SPV wallet I trust. Even with the recent vulnerability, which was “only” showing messages and never really risked anyones funds directly.

Are you serious? 200 + btc stolen and you downplay it. Come on.
Yes. I’m not “downplaying” anything. I’m saying that even with the vulnerability, Electrum is pretty safe. If those users didn’t download the fake wallet (or verified the signatures), they wouldn’t have lost anything.

AGAIN, I’m not saying it’s the users’ fault. I’m just saying thet while I consider this a major exploit from the point of making people easily trust the messages, it’s not a direct issue with the code. At the end of the day, Electrum is way far ahead than most other wallets.
