yeah i have heard of all these things happen and I guess you always think you've done the right thing and couldn'thave been compromised.


So i have restored OS, used anti malware and virus protection, and I use cc cleaner to clear out cookies etc .then made new seperate wallets with new paswords/seeds stored not electronically.

I hope it doesn't happen again, but obviously it's my fault. I haven't done something right along the way.

Quote: Did you verify the digital signature of the downloaded Electrum installer?

If you did not receive any strange error messages from Electrum and are 100% sure that the version of Electrum you are running is legit, then chances are that your wallet was compromised in some other way... did you store your 12 word electrum seed mnemonic in a digital format? (ie. backed up in a text file or screenshot on your hard drive or email or a cloud file storage service etc?)




----

I keep my seed on paper in secure place offline. very confused as to whats happened. Will accept that its gone and try a different wallet and make sure my OS isnt compromised before getting more.

There wasn't any such message pop up asking for an update or trouble with transaction, they just emptied the wallet straight after the funds came in. that's why I'm so confused as to why or how it's happened.

is there a way to track down the theif if it is them? I know it's very unlikely to get the funds back but I could try :/

And no I have not upgraded, I downloaded the file from electrum.org which is the latest version.

Today I had 0.0215437 BTC stolen before i could send it to the address I wanted to.

I have had no messages saying "install a new version before sending out money" or anything like that and I have definitely downloaded the electrum from electrum.org, the newest verson.


from what I can see on the block chain the transaction ID was 387a2ecb74fecfa8329b976c23032ef7f21adabdd15fe1923a54575f1697ba8e

and the receiving address was 14kuUTfXM1MLzmDidMZPEFrU7Z9hR6tX1q


Is there a way to recover the funds?



Thanks in advance

Hello everyone

Today I have tried to send bitcoins from my electrum wallet to an address burt before I could do this my wallet was emptied within seconds, and not to the address i send it to.


I lost approx 0.02154837 BTC

the transaction ID is 387a2ecb74fecfa8329b976c23032ef7f21adabdd15fe1923a54575f1697ba8e when the BTC went missing

as far as i can see on the blodckchain, the BTC ended up in address 14kuUTfXM1MLzmDidMZPEFrU7Z9hR6tX1q

I have an encrypted wallet, have tried restoring it from seed, have connected to differenct servers etc

There was not any links / pop up prompting me to download the newest electrum version so I'm confused about what happened.

My recieving address from a completely new wallet and downloaded wallet from Electrum.org is 12u67WtWiYGHx6FYJjEKaJESo9VH2PWUvJ


Does anyone know if there is a way to get back the funds or have any advice ?


Thanks in Advance
