Hearing that there is some exploit with any software wallets which use Libbitcoin Explorer 3.x

However, they are not stating which wallets are affected. Only that so far $900,000 was stolen due to some poor random number generator when generating seeds.
The most cited affected wallet was trust wallet.

Remember when there was an issue with trust wallet, and they even had to make a quick update?


How do we find out if Electrum uses this dependency?
I believe electrum is safe, Since everything is open source unlike wallets like trust wallet, someone would have already pointed it out by now.
