You may continue to use Electrum; however, only download updates from this site: https://electrum.org. Also, learn how to verify PGP signatures.
Complementing bone261's post: if you're going to keep using Electrum on your PC, learn how to verify the file signatures. This way, you can be sure that what you're downloading is legit (regardless of the message you received, or link you followed).

Here is a quick guide about it: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/


I wish i'd known this sooner but I'm going to try out this one on my phone from now on.

Thank you for your Help

It's likely to be all gone I'm afraid.

Hackers have been tricking users into downloading compromised versions of Electrum through that upgrade message.



Thank you for this information.

Is there a better wallet I can use for future?

Thank you,

Hello,

I have used Electrum previously a while ago and have just tried to use it again and it had to upgrade to the latest version.

I've done this.

I have then tried to purchase something.

I have copied the recipients address, put it in and then inputted the amount to send double checked these and then click send.

Then Electrum has automatically changed the address ID and inputted all the mbtc in my account and sent it to this invalid address.

Please can someone help recover this or is it all gone?

Thank you,
