Electrum releases 4.8.2 as a security update and asks users to update
Electrum's developers announced release 4.8.2 on their official account. They call it another security update and thanked the researchers who reported the issues. The announcement does not specify which vulnerabilities were fixed or how serious they are. There is no information about exploitation. Users of the Electrum wallet on versions before 4.8.2 are affected.
Actions to take
Update Electrum to version 4.8.2 soon, without waiting for a scheduled update. Download the installer only from the project's download page, linked in the post. Do not use links in messages, advertisements or personal emails offering an “urgent update”.
