No, this is not true. Electrum isn't safe. Sorry.
First btc i buy in 2011, so if i have same app, ga, 2fa, usb-backup's, knowledge, experience and i lost my coins yesterday just like that from original electrum - something is wrong. And its gone, i have diversification and money managament, but i cant trade now.
Someone steal low ammount this is paranoid. I read now about it, many people just hacked.
I think we all feel bad for your loss but there must be a reason it happened yesterday and not at all in the past 8 years you've used it. Someone has access. Someone got into your device somehow and found your private keys. Assume the worst, I don't think this is a client especially if you've not access in a time.
Where are the other reports of people getting hacked by the way?
Electrum wallet is safe to use and so far I have not encountered any issues with it, what version are you using if it’s the old version update it to the latest version. The possible reason for your loss is malware in your system, or you have used unsecured connection while operating your wallet check and fix it. I think he’s referring to the hack we witnessed few months back, when people had updated their wallet without going to the official site.
