14-Year-Old WinRAR Exploit Allegedly Threatens Crypto Wallets
According to a user on the Bitcoin subreddit, there is an exploit on a common version of WinRAR that enables the potential theft of coins. The bug, which allowed executable code to be inserted on a system after opening a RAR file, has apparently existed for 14 years but is only recently coming to light. Now that its common knowledge, exploits are likely to be written for unpatched systems.
