Another wave of security incidents... 36,000 wallets, although the percentage is small, it's really frightening.

Here it comes again. Version 2.68 should have been checked long ago. Are 36,000 wallets affected? It's easy to say, why didn't you issue an early warning?

36,000 wallets, sounds pretty scary, but they only account for 0.016%... This way of presenting the number has a bit of that flavor.

Here we go again, browser plugin issues. I just want to ask: is updating this really safe?
