Bitmessagelogo-reduced.png Bitmessage

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 Surda's Bitmessage addresses are to be
considered compromised.

Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted
messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is
decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently
trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong
authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be
spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and
receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running
warrantless wiretapping programs. If Bitmessage is completely new to
you, you may wish to start by reading the whitepaper.

Security audit needed

Bitmessage is in need of an independent audit to verify its security.
If you are a researcher capable of reviewing the source code, please
email the lead developer. You will be helping to create a great
