Bitcoin transaction is irreversible.

Sad to say that you can't do anything about it at this point. The only 'logical' explanation on how someone steal your BTC is that someone knew your password/privatekey. Maybe your laptop/pc is compromised with malware or you download a fake electrum app. I'm sorry for your loss and do hope that it will give you a life long lesson on protecting your crypto assets.

From your explanations I do not know how your funds was taken(you can try and explain better), were you trying to send to an address and sent to the wrong address. Maybe your private keys aren't as secured as you claim it is, did you write or store it somewhere that's accessible to someone other than yourself.
I am desperate because these funds were supposed to be for my mother's health.
I just hope it's not just you sending to another address of yours, sorry I just get a bit sceptical when a line like this is added in this kind of post. If your mum is truly ill, you will have to find a different means of footing the bills.

The funds disappeared from my wallet without any action on my part. It was enough for me to transfer funds from the account to the stock exchange faster and there would be no problem. Please forgive me the nature of the post .... nobody will understand this situation because it is not about bills, but about a chance for health. These funds were 3/4 of the funds necessary to pay for a life-saving operation. Thank you for the answers ... now everything is clear to me.

What does this mean? Is the wallet client going to stop the funds - no? But you could see if their may have been an error with the operation of the wallet client...in that rare case they may refund you. But if it was theft, you're out of luck.

Where to turn in this matter? I sincerely doubt that this is a mistake, but the only thing that is certain to me is that the funds have disappeared from the wallet even though I did not order it.

Well maybe someone stole your private key from somewhere else? Did you have it written down anywhere? Without a private key people can't steal from a bitcoin wallet.

I didn't save the key anywhere. The string of random characters that make up PrivateKey is created using the BrainWallet method, the salt of which is the password I use, consisting of 20 characters (including special characters and numbers), so there is no chance to guess. This was done manually and offline using a tool of my own authorship. I know the mechanisms of private keys very well

How else can you make money? When do you need the money for your mother's health expenses? How much do you anticipate those expenses to be?

Recently, I have no permanent source of income. It allowed to spend more time in a family circle. I obtained funds mainly from orders in BTC requiring computing power to perform them. This is one of the last tasks to be carried out that took me a whole month. The last task may take me over a year, which in a situation where it is a race against time and a fucking cancer - is a blow to my heart. The day before yesterday, my wallet with physical cash was stolen, and today - the rest of my hope was cleared. I wish the perpetrator that all his life karma would not let him live for what he did.

Thanks for the reply :-(

No there's no way to stop the transaction it's already confirmed of almost 4 confirmations if your transaction has more than 0 confirmation you won’t be able to cancel it. But if your transaction is still zero-confirmation you can cancel the transaction by doing "double-spend" with a higher fee.

For now, There's no way to cancel a transaction that already confirmed.

Let me ask if where did you download the Electrum wallet? You might be using the fake one.
The correct electrum URL is electrum.org if you download it to a different URL it's 100% fake electrum that can steal all of your funds.

I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune. The finality of transactions is one of the greatest risk of bitcoin, but it comes in hand with all the benefits.

There is no option for someone to steal a private key from your computer because I watch security all the time!

Is it going to somehow stop the flow of funds or recover them?

This won't help you today, but there is a wallet that pays 4% interest annually, so it's a small way to make more money without actually working. You can find a link in my profile or PM me.

Good luck to you.

Hello,
I have a crisis! I have withdrawn (for the seventh time) to my BTC wallet.
After posting the funds (and obtaining two confirmations) - there was an outgoing transaction that was not authorized by me !! The transaction was released twenty minutes after the first confirmation - to some fresh address with no transaction history and is an RBF transaction. It's exactly a transaction at 0.4BTC.
My BTC address from which the funds were stolen: 1CCEQxuUkb6RKQM4TDYbQemBVs2ihe45ps
Address to which funds were sent:
3DTjnTxjPnePfvg3haTyUQQeFK2riuZ1Fr
Unauthorized transaction ID: 2f79dda8aea3f06400be07f04f65b6045ba2e0235efa0bba0f6d9d6375da421c

The transaction is marked as RBF!
I use client Electrum 3.3.8
