Electrum cash will copy all your Electrum and then steel your BTC.
BCC made with people that wants your BTC.
Any news in media for number of victims?
I heard 1 million BTC has been stolen utill now because of BCC.

Don't trust to cash and any BCC wallets.

If someone steals from you, its your own fault. There are multitude of advise here from members on how to claim your BCC using Electron Cash. If you don't follow this steps carefully and suddenly lost your bitcoin then nothing to blame but yourself. Or you thought you have the legit Electron cash and claim your BCC then at the end someone stole your BTC, again its your complete stupidity that made you lost your coins. And even Electrum didn't endorsed it in the first place. But even if they didn't, they have put enough information on their website on how to claim your free BCC.

Electron Cash don't steal anything...

The original Electron Cash (www.electroncash.org) didn't steal anything. But there is a fake website with almost the same URL (http://www.electroncash.net/), and some of the users reported that this website steals both your BTC and BCH.

I've used Electron Cash and not lost 1 BTC.

Congrats , can give me the process to claim BCC through Electron Cash as still i have to claim my btc stored in electrum wallet but due to fear of hacking seed key i am not claiming BCC.

Here's the process I followed in summary:

1. Send BTC to a different wallet.
2. Install Electron Cash (version 2.9.2) - do checksum before you install so you know it's legit
2.1 Point Network to follow server: electroncash.cascharia.com on port 50002
2.2 Entered a new name to create a new wallet.
2.3 Choose "Standard wallet".
2.4 Choose "I already have a seed".
2.5 Entered seed of my original (BTC) wallet.
2.6 Choose "Disable" (2FA).
2.7 Sent BCH to Gatecoin BCH address
2.8 Sold BCH for BTC

That is what I did with one of my wallets ... I just export the private keys from Core Wallet

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4203/how-can-i-export-the-private-key-for-an-address-from-the-satoshi-client

Then Imported to one of the SPV[1] wallets listed at

https://www.bitcoincash.org/

[1] I'm a regular Joe ... I don't have space to download another full blockchain file

Smells like a regular phishing ... still effective thought ... if people can hack presidencial candidates emails just changing one character ...

I don't even... What...?
Electron cash does no such thing, it's an Electrum fork for Bitcoin cash and it's open source.
What are you even talking about? There are no such victims whatsoever because what you said is utterly wrong and untrue.
Where exactly did you "heard" this?
No.Its true.First,they kept the name as electrum cash wallet and then after criticism,they just changed the name as electron cash.I read a post written by a person who said that he had almost lost around 40 BTC by sending them to this wallet.I don't know how many more victims are there.He had mstakenly downloaded wallet from a fake website instead of downloading it from the official website Electrum.org.

Are you referring to the one who copied the website of Electrum? Never heard about that.
I only knew the one who copied the website of myetherwallet but now they have a warning in their true website. It is really helpful because you can now double check if you are in the right website before making a wallet.
