Redditor discovers pywallet “mirror” on Sourceforge steals Bitcoin wallet files
- nisa 11y agoIt's still up: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywallet/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywallet/ Looks like someone faked a mirror.
- colanderman 11y agoLarger projects such as Firefox, Audacity, and OpenOffice maintain a trademark to protect themselves from situations like this. Presumably SourceForge would respond much more quickly to a trademark infringement notice sent by registered mail. I wonder if the authors of pywallet could use this method?
- nly 11y agoAnd judging by cryptedulls comment there, it wasn't the only dodgy copy playing this game. Sad Still, the library itself hasn't been updated since 2011.
