I just need to mention that there's a short notice on electrum.org download page stating:
Warning: Some malicious servers have started a phishing attack against Electrum users. When asked to broadcast a transaction, malicious servers reply with an error message, directing users to download a fake version of Electrum. DO NOT download Electrum from another site than electrum.org.
More information hereAnd from the
Important Announcement Board since the very first hour of the incident:
If you click the link in the message and install the software, then your BTC will be stolen. If you ignore the message, then you should be OK.
-snip-
With those (
together with the fact that it is an open-source project), we can assume that any incidents involving that particular hack can't be blamed to Electrum's developers.

OPERATION FOR ALL THE FUNNIES WHICH WERE IN THE ACCOUNT! 21.9667747 BTC !!!
You can always turn to the authorities (
Police) and report the incident, same as
this guy who had his Electrum-stored Bitcoins (
and Altcoins) stolen.
The chance to retrieve your coins might be slim but it's better than
chasing your tail.
