Electrum has a long history of vulnerabilities ( including indirect vulnerabilities ) and many time this wallet got hacked. As you know, because is a lite bitcoin wallet, it needs to connect to servers, If your wallet connects to the network via malicious severs, your money get lost! For these that are new in this, you can find on the internet many attempts and successful attacks against Electrum, and many funds and many funds were stolen. In my opinion, Electrum was and is, the most attacked Bitcoin wallet. You should not understanding me wrong ( I'm using Electrum) but Electrum attracts the hackers (advantages and disadvantages), therfore increased vigilance is always necessary when you use a lite wallet ( and not only! ). Also the most attacks occured after an update (this is well known thing)
Back in the past, around 2015, my entire system was hacked including the work station, six mining rigs, router, mail account and also Cryptsy account.
The attackers had full control for several days, until I realized what was happening. They withdrew all the funds on the same day. In that hack I lost around 110k WhiteCoin, 334k DGB, 1300 Dash ( former DarkCoin), 1002 LTC and many other alts .. My BTC was stored on BTC-e exchange ( this account wasn't compromised because on this one the log credentials were stored offline - it was my first exchange which I used).
On Cryptsy exchange were stored around 7 mil Doge and some other alts. All of these were converted in BTC and all of them have been retreated on the attacker BTC address.
Many of you are new in this cryptoworld, even if you are active here on forum for few years...that doesn't mean anything! You should know that everyone is susceptible to being hacked, no matter what's your rank, name, theoretical knowledge etc.. Of course we must to ensure the maximum security measures but even that it could happen. This is not the gamming world!! THIS IS CRYPTO!
One mistake and you lose everything without hope for a second chance!
I saw many of you blaming Julerz because o his mistake!! OK! you could do that but It's not OK. Humans make mistakes. It's saddly of course but we can tolerate this. Are we HUMANS?!
I saw many of you with same bussiness like Julerz, blaming him for this mistake.. It's not OK!
Competition is good, but not when someone is knocked down! That fact reveals how weak "we" are.
On this forum, people should help each other especially when such problems arise!
There is room for everyone ( if they are honest of course).
Yesterday was hacked Julerz tomorrow it could be one of you.. You are not a super human!! Nor even Dashjr was a super human! And he is not a "nobody" !! A Bitcoin Core Developer it can be hacked even his funds were stored on a cold wallet!! According to the judgment of some, Luke should not be anymore a Bitcoin Developer ( even he lost his own funds) right?
Accepting that it was a hack, and also Julerz will manage how to return the stolen funds back to the owners, I'll not support any red tag !!!
