There is a major vulnerability in Electrum and you need to update immediately

https://twitter.com/taviso/status/949804775473737728

The bitcoin wallet Electrum allows any website to steal your bitcoins. I was gonna report it...but there was already an open issue from last year. I pointed out this is kinda critical, and they made a new release within a few hours. Update to 3.0.4 if you use it.

Issue details: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3374

Update Release Notes:

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/3.0.4/RELEASE-NOTES

Update page: https://electrum.org/#download

If you're not updating shut your Electrum client down

note that this only affects non-password protected electrum wallets. if you followed https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/wiki/bible/buyer/bitcoin/walletsetup and https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/wiki/bible/buyer/dnm/usingkeepassx you will be fine.
