Tuesday 2 June 2015 10:55 CET | News

Bitcoin wallet application Blockchain has released an update after a bug left multiple users unaware that they were sharing a Bitcoin wallet.

The bug affected users running Blockchain’s app on Android version 4.1 or older, and resulted in one specific address being generated multiple times, leading to a loss of funds for some users.

Blockchain advises users who fear they were affected to update their app, create a new Bitcoin address, and transfer their funds out of the affected wallet.
