Dimon why not, you can get this money back through the BTC settlement companies, Blockchain, they are also engaged in translations! In any case, they can block the wallet and return the money to the owner on the basis of evidence. The screenshots are proof between the owner of the money and the shameful scam !!!!!!

Blockchain (the company) does NOT have the power to block wallets or return funds... This is not how bitcoin works.
The best blockchain can do is reimburse you with blockchain's money... But they won't do this unless maybe if you have a strong case that it was blockchain's fault you lost your funds due to a vulnerability on their end... Maybe they can technically block the attacker's ip from using their wallet, but the funds would still be lost.

Only a centralised exchange/wallet that does not give you access to your own private keys can roll back INTERNAL transactions (transactions between two wallets from the same centralised provider)

Good day. I am sorry, I know English badly. I will try to tell you through the translator. Yesterday, all of my 0.24 btc coins were stolen from my wallet. I saved them for so long, I wanted to go on vacation with children, and now everything. I am in complete despair, I do not know what to do. How can I return the coins?
I had this program for a long time, a separate computer on OS Mac. I don't even work on it.
I had only a password, but friends of my friends said that it was necessary to have a 2FA wallet. Now I understand that it was necessary to update the new file with 2FA protection.
How can I return the coins Huh

yurij25, OP case is about Electrum wallet, this is a reason why is it posted here. In this case, but also in your case bitcoin is almost completely lost. When I say almost, this is mean that you and OP can get your coins back only if this hacker is arrested, coins seized and you to be able to prove that you are one of the victims.

The address you are posted is currently empty, but in 2 months this hacker is move 258 BTC through this address. This is not small amount in fiat value ($1.3 million), so I suggest you to try start some action in order to find as many victims of this hacker with the aim of launching an international investigation.

You can start from here, one more user is report same bitcoin address : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-i-got-hacked-by-electrum-official-wallet-010-btc-5129118

As I wrote. I have a computer on the MAC and used it only on it. Here are just one made put a new version. Here is this site https://electrum.org/#download
How could they steal Huh

I really don't understand.
Already, developers began to suspect on this Cry

Are you 100% certain you downloaded the binary from the link you posted?
Eventough there is no chance of recovering your funds, i'd still advise you to find out what went wrong in order to make sure your mac isn't infected. Do you still have the dmg file on your mac? If so, do you know how to check a signature or do we have to talk you trough this?

There are several attack vectors:

Very old electrum versions (maybe the one you used to run before yesterday) used to have a vulnerability that allowed a thief to steal from a running electrum binary as long as the wallet was unencrypted
You could have downloaded a fake electrum version that was programmed to immediately send all your funds to an attacker, or maybe send the xprv by a call-home function
Your mac might be infected with a virus/backdoor/keylogger
Somebody might have gotten their hands on your seed or an unencrypted wallet file

I've seen loads of people lose funds due to the use of several different wallets... In electrum's case, i've never had any reason to think the actual dev's (ThomasV) involvement. ThomasV is a public figure, he is known by his real name and has been a member of this community for a long time. All code he writes is open source and should be community vetted. He doesn't even compile all sourcecode for all os's by himself.

Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but if somebody stole your funds, they are gone...

Horrible((((
I forgot to say one more thing. Yesterday I installed the program from the official website 3.3.6. Prior to this, the old version was installed.

Aaah, this might be the cause... Did you check ThomasV's signature? A lot of fake electrum download sites are floating around. They try to make you download fake electrum versions that are built for stealing funds.

As soon as the thief's transaction is confirmed, the odds of recovering your funds are ~0, that's the way the bitcoin protocol was built... It's trustless and immutable, there is no central bank that can roll back transactions... Sorry.

Best you can do is find out how you were robbed.

Are you sure you're running an official version? Loads of fake electrum versions are floating around
Are you running the latest version?
Is your PC 100% spyware free?
Are you sure the seed phrase isn't stored online?
Are you sure nobody has physical access to the seed phrase
Is your wallet password encrypted? Strong password?

Personally, i don't use 2FA on my electrum wallet. I find it expensive (since it's a paying thirth party plugin AFAIK... I have never used it so i have no experience).
