WP plugin error

[dharris10]

I'd like to warn everyone to avoid the Wordpress plugin Blockonomics. 4 months ago I started using it to recieve donations from my visitors and last week it showed this error for everyone to see:
Bitcoin wallet error 408

The error shows my username and password.

I lost almost 2 btc from my Coinbase wallet.
This error also happens to users of these wallets:
Bitgo (bitgo.co)
Mycelium (mycelium.com)
Market Coin Exchange (mcx.biz)

What do you plan to do on top of that since you really lost like $16000 if I am not mistaken here ? Any thought ? I do not understand anything you really write, if I would you i would never install some WP free plugins to my precious BTC's. It's just common sense.

There is a review option: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/blockonomics-bitcoin-payments/reviews/
And I'd never trust a plugin with only a thousand active installs with money.

Even this has very few installs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gourl-woocommerce-bitcoin-altcoin-payment-gateway-addon/ and it's one of the top ones, but it's at least 5x the number of reviews and recommended across most bitcoin payment articles.

Hahaha ahh this is such a good scam. What's brilliant about it is that if it catches you, it's because you were trying to steal from someone else.
If anyone is interested, I'll elaborate further...

I've seen this happen to lots of people. Just don't use this plugin with coinbase and mcx.biz
