Block halving is coming.

But how, I need to insert a password for each time I send?
It´s not like I have my seed phrase on my sticky notes, it´s not easily accessible, and it looks like this was sent automatically.
It says "self-transfer" when I run a privacy analysis on blockstream.info

What sticky note is that an app or software on your PC? This app might have cloud sync which is pretty risky and possible someone already had access to your wallet.

Another thing is how did you install and know that Electrum you currently use is not fake?

Are you sure that you generated the seed phrase before without 3rd party or someone?

How did you protect your device from viruses and malware?

Your password encrypts your wallet file locally, so that anyone who has access to your computer can't open the wallet file without your permission. It doesn't protect your wallet from getting hacked.
Any online device is always prone to hacking.

How can I get in touch with someone from Electrum? It says "lock time 787764" and "possibly self-transfer" when I run an analysis on blockstream.info

It says "possibly self-transfer", just because the transaction includes only 1 output. That's not important.

This morning I received a significant amount of BTC.

How much was it ?

Quote from: scammedbysomeone on May 01, 2023, 10:03:36 AM

I am using Electrum as a wallet and have used it for over a year without issues.

Electrum still doesn't have any issue and is perfectly fine.

7 minutes later, all my funds have been transferred to another address that I do not recognize.

Really ? I think this one is a special case. You got 7minutes to transfer those "insignificant" amount of received btc to your own another safer wallet. I think you should have set up some notification for incoming tx.

Any technical glitch or my money is really gone forever?

Just insert your BTC address in any online explorer and if you dont see any balance there it means your funds are really gone and you got hacked, unfortunately Sad

It was equivalent to 5200 USD, which was supposed to be for salaries.
I was notified when I had the BTC incoming, I can´t believe that after 7 minutes, it was all gone.

Either your wallet was hacked or someone had access to your seed phrase.
Whatever happened, bitcoin transactions are irreversible and there's nothing you can do.

Whatever happened, bitcoin transactions are irreversible and if the outgoing transaction has been confirmed, there's nothing you can do.

Did you update your wallet? If yes, are you sure you downloaded electrum from the official website?

Hi,

This morning I received a significant amount of BTC. I am using Electrum as a wallet and have used it for over a year without issues.
7 minutes later, all my funds have been transferred to another address that I do not recognize.

Anyone has any idea of how this can happen? Each time I transfer, I need to insert my password in Electrum.
Any technical glitch or my money is really gone forever?
