any suggestions as to what to do about a compromised computer? good antimalware software?
Did this happen on your computer (windows?) or your mobile?
This address has been mentioned at least 2 times already where people lost their funds. Both times this was on a mobile phone.
The first thing would be to find out whether you have installed a malicious version of electrum or whether your PC is compromised.
Did you install it or did you use the standalone executable?
If you used the standalone executable or still have the installer, you could verify the PGP signature.
If it is the signed one, electrum is legit and your device has been compromised in a different way. If it is not, it was a malicious electrum clone.
The safest way to remove any malware is to create a backup of your important data and reinstall your OS.
If this has "only" been caused by the malicious electrum version, you might be fine by simply removing it from your system (again: installed / standalone?). No guarantee tho.
i used the installer and still have the installed version. how can i look up the signature?
