Topic: My BTC was stolen. Can someone clarify how it happened? - page 2. (Read 151 times)

How did you update your Electrum? did you manually go to the site yourself?

Does your Electrum have a password? Is it possible that you left your PC unattended on that time? (or at any point)? with someone you know?

Sadly and as you mentioned, there is really nothing much you can do at this point, but feel free to share the address, or the transaction hash that emptied your wallet. Who knows, maybe we can track it to an KYC exchange and you can take this with law enforcement... (assuming the person who stole from you, is someone from your own country). Or you can try and check yourself using walletexplorer.com

Today I found out my BTC was stolen from my wallet 2 months ago. I know that is sometime ago, but I was in the hospital for some time, and I didn't check very often because I was not an active trader (just HODL). Since I don't have any people around me that know a lot about BTC or wallets, I want to know how you think this could have happened and if I have ANY chance or way to get it back (I already know this is almost impossible, but I'm out of options). I started in 2015, and everything went great without any problems (I had to switch from Multibit to Electrum a long time ago, but also everything went smoothly there). I check in from time to time to see if everything is still there, and when I did that today I saw that on the 19th of November my 3 BTC got transferred to another wallet. I never shared my private keys or seed phrase (I have it on a piece of paper that no one has seen), I always do a full virus scan to check if there is anything suspicious before I open my wallet, and like I said, everything went smoothly for the last 10 years. Because I know that something like this can happen when you download Electrum from the wrong website, I went back in my download history and saw that I updated Electrum on the 13th of November, 6 days later, my BTC got stolen. I can see that the download was from the official site, but maybe it still has something to do with it?

If it helps, I got all the information to follow the transaction. It went from one wallet to another, and I can see it is still there. I of course also still have the transaction history and information if you think it would help. I can send you links and screenshots of everything (the transactions, the addresses where it went through, and the one where it is now). So if someone knows how this could have happened and if there is any change at all in getting anything back, it would be much appreciated!
