Malware Wallet ‘Electrum Pro’ Stealing Seed Keys

It is now proven that Electrum Pro steals wallet seeds on creation. Meaning that any coins stored in a wallet created with this tool are accessible to anyone with access to electrum(dot)com. If you mistakenly used this wallet, you should move your coins to a secure wallet as soon as possible.

The proof given is a step by step guide to decompiling the python based binary. The proof claims that within the binary, where the seeds are created, an additional step exists which uploads the seed to electrum(dot)com. The official website for the Electrum wallet is electrum.org, which we can be sure of due to its link on the external site bitcoin.org.
