GOSSIP USERS - SECURITY ALERT: There is no 0.5.3 release of gossip. If you installed a package with version 0.5.3, you might have just been hacked by someone. The official releases are on github and nowhere else. I will follow up this alert (by replying to it) with additional information as it becomes available.

NOTE: If you compiled from source and the version says 0.5.3-unstable, this is fine. That is not a 0.5.3 release, that is the tag for commits in-between release 0.5.2 and 0.5.3. Compiled code is always much safer than a package.
