1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How I got hacked by Electrum Official Wallet [0.10 BTC] on: September 03, 2020, 03:38:23 AM
Update :

This scam is still on going.

I just lost my whole wallet also 2 days ago.

I was keeping 0.42813222 BTC for more than 2 years.

Didnt touch this wallet all that time.

Wanted to transfer the funds to a stacking website, i was thinking those btc should better make babies than sleeping.

So yea, was doing many thing at the same time, went too fast.

There is no auto update in old version of electrum.

I just tried to send my funds, got the popup forcing me to update, clicked the link, open the download, login again with my seed, got directly REKT.

Please guys be really carefull! Always download lastest version of electrum from the offcial website before trying anything. Or just dont use it and take a ledger.

This is the SCAM version of electrum that the popup made me download (Only figured out the weird domain name when it was too late) :


This is the official version :


This is the adress where you can see every people getting REKT live :

There is actually 4 guys who got scammed after me
And there is one guy who lost 1405.10027055 BTC just one day before me  Shocked Shocked Shocked

I think there is nothing we can do, only thank god for still being healthy and forget about that money.

The only clever thing i found out to do was to totally format / reinstall my computer and spread the word to avoid potential future victims.

Bad vibes forever - xxx
