Cake wallet was compromised and I lost BTC due to their seed generation process. This wallet has lost all trust with me and should have warnings on the monero site to at least upgrade to their latest version. My btc was transferred out of my wallet within 8 minutes. If anyone has this wallet upgrade immediately.

Since this wallet is the first listed wallet on the monero site and people trust monero there SHOULD be a warning about this. Many people have un-updated wallets on their phone, please escalate this to the website team for review to add a warning about it.

yeah that cake wallet exploit is fucked. sorry mate

xmrpilot: What kind of warning would you add? I cannot think of any warning that would be useful, since the problem wasalready solved.

Can we bump this to the top of the queue please? monero-project/monero-site #1486

No one can find how to contact Monero community members and it's not super hard to see why

This recent article contacted Nic Carter to give a balanced Monero perspective, lol cnbc.com/amp/2021/06/13/what-is-mon…-of-choice-for-cyber-criminals.html

finef

*fine for me

BinaryFate in particular I believe

<ErCiccione "xmrpilot: What kind of warning w"> "Earlier versions of this wallet are being exploited, upgrade immediately"

For those people who come to see the downloads, see a newer version, but suddenly change their minds not to download after all ?

Sure, might catch a couple people.

It does sound like bullshit make-me-feel-good thing though.

Pretty much all software releases fixes bugs.

<moneromooo "For those people who come to see"> Yea whatever, I sortof think your response is a little bullshit along with a wallet that has let many monero supporters down. This wallet should not even be listed on the site after this. People have lost a shit ton of money due to the wallet developers incompetence. This is a no-brainer and other wallets have not used such a lightweight seed generating process that

can lead to an attack. The lacklust picked seedwords they chose lead to this mess. I have not known any other wallet to have this problem and now they just use a 24 word string, but did they expand their seedwords list? Who knows but this should be checked out if monero is to have them listed in #1 position for a wallet.. such crap

sgp_: that article says "Monero was released in 2014 by a consortium of developers", but links to me, and then reaches out to Nic Carter ?

lol

Yeah was... A pretty odd approach lol

No one from Monero was contacted at all.

<fluffypony "sgp_: that article says "Monero "> Out of all the Bitcoiners to contact, I'm glad they talked to Nic. But still..... Lol

Hence why we really need a press landing page :)

I'd like to add press⊙go to the @monero Twitter bio too

You missed the email I got last week where CoinDesk asked for the Monero CEO to be on a morning show lol

LOL
