It's possible that your computer got hacked, you downloaded the wallet from somewhere other than the official website (phishing), your seed words were compromised (If written and stored somewhere), etc. This transaction occurred two months ago and got a lot of confirmations, it's too late and sadly, your coins are lost forever, there is no way to get them back.

The short answer is: anyone who has your private key/seed will be able to spend your Bitcoin, regardless of whether you open your wallet or not. If you can answer ETFbitcoin questions then we might be able to determine how that happened, but there is no way to restore your Bitcoin, ever (unless you want to do a block re-org which is practically impossible).

Seems like you have multiple wallets that got hacked, does anybody else have access to your computer/laptop that you use to manage your Bitcoin?

You have the latest version (v3.3.5) that was just released this week and yet the transactions was made on March 23.
If the incident happened two months back, how didn't you noticed it before, or are you unaware of it?

What was the last version that you've used prior to the update?

atalaelias@gmail. com, did you make any update last time when you open your wallets, maybe following direct link from Electrum wallet?

It is possible that OP is open his wallets two months ago, make a fake update and close wallet. Now when price is go up he want to check his balance, but it show 0. He think that problem is maybe in sync and update to latest version, but this is not something that can get coins back.

This is however a very common problem with users who only periodically check their wallets, and are not up to date with current events.
