Be carefully when you download Bitcoin Core from bitcoin.org

in #bitcoin8 years ago

It seems that some Man-In-The-Middle attacks are planned to regulate Bitcoins by replacing/manipulating wallet downloads from the original website bitcoin.org

Unfortunately bitcoin.org is not strong enough to avoid attacks like that.
When 0.13.0 is released please check the fingerprint of the HTTPS certificate of bitcoin.org.
It has to be 01EA5486DE18A882D4C2684590C8019E36C2E964. Also check the signing of the downloaded file. I will post the PGP key at the end of this post.
But the best way is to download sources from original git repository and build your own wallet. This is the most secure way!
