Just because of this I post here now time to check these things and have safety first formula as never go with unsecured links or sites because scammers and cheaters ready to steal your funds.
It has always been advised to verify the downloaded file before installing. Electrum never does auto update too. It notifies you and you will need to re-download the latest file and verify it before updating the old version.It's very easy but unfortunately most of the people over complicate it.
As someone who has that kind of amount and doesn’t know how to be safe with it says a lot. I don’t understand why he would install it without verifying the source of the installer. Instructions on How to verify is very straightforward. It's probably not going to get taken back, for sure.
At least in the article it shows that Binance is blacklisting any bitcoins that come from that exchange.

The entire media is trying to blame Electrum for it at-least this is the way they are creating the news. Instead of blaming Electrum then can publish an awareness news about how to safely handle bitcoin. We would not see this kind of sad stories.
I am sorry for the user who lost the 1400 BTC but it's him to be blamed here.
