While it's not your fault (mostly), Electrum developer and contributor don't have such obligation because Electrum is released under MIT License where there aren't any kind of warranty.

Also AFAIK Electrum website is never hacked, but only went offline.

I think there's big problem with scammer & hacker.

Electrum itself is secure if you know what you're doing & do your research.

You think there is a problem with Electrum wallet in last few days? I do not know what you're doing at the forum if you do not read the important information from time to time. Electrum problem is more then 2 days or even 2 weeks old, it was born last year and it is still alive today. Any user who have outdated wallet and who get tricked to download fake wallet will lost all coins from that wallet.

Electrum vulnerability allows arbitrary messages, phishing

that's correct, the latest electrum version is 3.3.6
older versions are susceptible to phishing, and this what happened to your v3.0.5 electrum wallet

I couldn't get a hit on the address or transaction id on bitcoin blockchain explorer
the address seems invalid and you typed BTS, is this typo or you really mean BitShares?

Romario312, you are victim of phishing or in this case some will say "social engineering attack". Hackers are find and exploit vulnerability in Electrum wallet by showing pop-up message with link to fake wallet, and any users who download fake wallet is lost his coins.

There is no way to get back stolen coins, transaction is irreversible and coins are in hacker wallet. There is no one who is officially engaged in this case in a way that is trying to find a people who are behind this crime. Electrum has a certain accountability, no doubt in that - but they will not give you money back. Responsibility is also on the users, and they should know how to properly use software like Electrum.

Although it is no consolation for you, you are just one of probably thousands of victims, there is Electrum board where you can read more :

This treatment in support of elektrum
22.06.2009 year I went to the purse electrum which previously downloaded to the flash drive and at the entrance there was a window in which it was written that the version 3.0.5 is outdated and it is necessary to install a newer version 4.0.0.
I installed it and immediately got into my wallet. Then I sent 0.0444 BTS to the wallet of the exchange Binance wallet number 1BFPUVRnN9CbJ1SxDePhXrzgLdtw1aSWe2 the Commission put 20 percent of the minimum. There was a phrase payment sent. After that I began to wait for transfer of means. It took 3 days, nothing came, I went to the blockchain entered the transaction number 666bbc9edfeef1b29d4fa231e185671db193841c04b7317c19727cc9dec73c and saw that the process is not on the wallet that I pointed out, but on some other. I thought the wallet address just changed and not something terrible and began to wait. It took another 4 days, the funds did not come to the exchange, then I could not go to my wallet downloaded electrum. Through the recovery phrase, I restored the wallet, but my funds did not appear there and they are not on the exchange. On site electrum I learned that version of 4.0.0. not exist. Now I don't know where my money went. Please find my funds and return them back to my wallet, if your security system does not allow users to work safely, and my funds were stolen, then please return them to me, because it is not my fault that your security system was not at a high level and your site was hacked. If I sent it myself to some other address, it would be my fault. But I think there was a hacking of the system and users should not suffer from this and every time they need to make a transaction to read on the website warnings and comments in the chat.
Your response, I look forward to the email: [email protected]
