Package: electrum
Version: 3.1.3-1~bpo9+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Having the fact that all versions of Electrum older than 3.3.3 are vulnerable 
to a phishing attack (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4968 also 
warning on http://electrum.org), where malicious servers ask users to download 
bitcoin-stealing malware, why are we still on 3.1.3 branch on Debian Stable?

I think Electrum packages on all Debian versions should be updated urgently. 
It's almost impossible to use this software, because every time we try to make 
a transaction, a phinshing server asks us to download a fresh version of 
electrum from a fake domain.

Please consider moving to 3.3.4 on Debian Stable and Sid, since it's not a 
software that requires compilation, it shouldn't be a big mess to upgrade.
