I downloaded from the official website, but I found a malware "remcos" on my computer, and they keylogged everything.

I traced the stolen bitcoins to Binance, unsure what I can do from here.

This morning I created an Electrum wallet (3.1.0) and transfered 1BTC. 1 hour later 2 withdraws were made, and now my wallet is empty. I lost the 1 BTC I had there.

I had 2 FA activated how is that even possible.
Also how come it didn't ask the hacker 2FA to withdraw?

If you really had 2FA 'activated' the most likely 2 things which happened (in my opinion) are those:
1) You have downloaded a malicious version of electrum and therefore didn't have any real 2FA activated.
2) You are completely compromised. Someone has access to a) your PC and b) has either cloned your mobile or cloned your GA code(s).

You should definetely scan your system for any malware. And to be on the safe side you should setup a fresh OS install.

Additionally, the next time you are going to store BTC: Make sure to store relatively high amounts (like 1 BTC is currently) safe offline (hardware or paper wallet).

So your Electrum wallet address is which? Can you show the transaction you made to your wallet? The tx ids you've shared seem to be the one transferring it out. If the first tx is yours, then the 2nd only transferred out 0.015+ BTC. How about a more detailed description? Are you sure your wallet's fully synced(green button, bottom right) and your balance (bottom left) is 0?

Like you said, if 2fa was enabled, doesn't seem likely. Also, if this was your first transaction with Electrum 2FA, it should have spent the fee to TrustedCoin.

Check your Download-History, did you load Electrum from the original electrum.org website?

The 2 transaction TX were:

6f99b1fe0040443d8dcf2bb1793a26148989f386769c0296645a3171fc32ee4f
48a8c22d0ba6ae103d2e2da068b814e701f73af38c7aa556ab12e0cf27d23e17

The IP from which they connected to the wallet must be known to Electrum! Also how come it didn't ask the hacker 2FA to withdraw?

Please help.
