Bitcoin official website: Chinese users need to be on guard against a new round of theft attacks

According to the latest security notice released by the official website of the Bitcoin project (Bitcoin.org), the binary files of the upcoming Bitcoin Core version are likely to become the target of theft by attackers supported by certain countries. Bitcoin users, including Chinese users, need to be particularly vigilant.

The website stated that Bitcoin.org does not have the necessary technical resources to defend against such a powerful attacker, so it is strongly recommended that the Bitcoin community, especially Chinese Bitcoin community users, need to be doubly vigilant when downloading binary files from the website, otherwise your Bitcoin may be at risk of loss, and your computer may even participate in the attack on the Bitcoin network.

The Bitcoin official website also stated that the Chinese mining pools and trading platforms are at the greatest risk in this round of attacks. However, they did not provide further explanation, but only reminded users to check whether the signature and hash of the binary file are consistent with the official one after downloading it , in order to prevent fake files from taking advantage of the situation and stealing users' property. For file verification, you can use the File Master of Softmedia Magic Cube (click here to download), which is accurate and efficient.
