Package: electrum Version: 3.1.3-1~bpo9+1 When electrum connects to certain malicious servers they issue a warning message telling the user to upgrade by following a phishing link. The link prompts the user to enter their credentials and install malware which results in the loss of all their funds. A new version of electrum has been realeased to address these problems.
The issue is being discussed here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4968 complete with screenshots of the phishing messages. Given the severity and urgency of this exploit, the appropriate new version should be added to the official Debian repos ASAP to avoid further attacks on users. I am using Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 64-bit Kernel 4.9.0-8-amd64
