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 urda's Bitmessage addresses are to be 
considered compromised.
