I saw a tweet about a serious bug in Bitcoin Core’s wallet migration process. Apparently, it can delete random wallet files. It's kinda scary, right? We need to be careful with our wallets and know what's happening with the software.

Yeah, this has been confirmed. Only the legacy wallet migration is affected, though. So if you're using the new versions, you're good. Still, I guess many people might not realize this. Better to keep an eye on updates here as it unfolds.
Thanks for sharing! I think this thread is gonna get locked soon... I kinda missed the news, lol. Anyone here feel like they’ve been affected by it?
