A reportedly ongoing hack against cryptocurrency wallet Electrum has seen a malicious party steal almost 250 Bitcoin (BTC) (about $937,000), commentators reported on social media Dec. 27.
Subsequently confirmed by Electrum itself, the attack consists of creating a fake version of the wallet that fools users into providing password information.
