Bitcoin users have been warned about a potential attack by government hackers

Another day, another crazy bitcoin story.

This time: Users are being warned that an upcoming release of digital currency could be targeted by “state-sponsored hackers.”

We ask the Bitcoin community, and in particular the Chinese Bitcoin community to be extra vigilant when downloading binaries from our website.” For the full article click here
