    Does anyone know if Bitmessage is safe? It hasn't been changed in
    years.

    A remote code execution vulnerability has been spotted in use against some users running PyBitmessage v0.6.2. The cause was identified and a fix has
    been added and released as 0.6.3.2 here. If you run PyBitmessage via code,
    we highly recommend that you upgrade to 0.6.3.2. Alternatively you may downgrade to 0.6.1 which is unaffected. .

    Bitmessage developer Peter eurda's Bitmessage addresses are to be
    considered compromised.

    No, it is not safe, as one can do a DDOS in all chans,
    with a little Linux Computer, a bash script and render
    the official Bitmessage client and the Network useless.
