ELECTRUM RELEASES NEW BITCOIN WALLET SECURITY UPDATE Electrum has released version 4.8.4, its 15th Anniversary Edition, addressing multiple security vulnerabilities and bugs affecting Bitcoin and Lightning wallets. The most significant fix addresses a Lightning Network vulnerability in which malformed onion messages from arbitrary sources could cause Electrum to disconnect from its channel peers. The update also fixes wallet freezes, transaction-processing issues, and crashes affecting desktop and Android users. This marks Electrum’s fourth security update since August, following previous fixes for malicious-server attacks, Lightning channel backup vulnerabilities, and other security issues. Electrum users are encouraged to upgrade to version 4.8.4.
