Ok but if the transaction is done it is too late anyway no?

yes, unfortunately if the transaction is confirmed* then there is no way to reverse it.

* a confirmed transaction will show up with a green check mark beside it and in its details it will show "status: {a number larger than 6} confirmations"

The transaction happened the day I recover the wallet, yesterday.

How can I verify the signature of the wallet ?

you will need to also download the signature file which is found alongside the wallet installation file you downloaded. it is a .asc file. for instance this is the link to this signature for "windows installer" file:
https://download.electrum.org/3.2.3/electrum-3.2.3-setup.exe.asc

then you also need the public key of the signer (Thomas V.) who is the developer of Electrum. the key hash is found on https://electrum.org and it is 0x2BD5824B7F9470E6

now depending on what kind of OS you have you need a program that can verify this signature. for linux it is most probably already installed. only use:
gpg --verify {signature.asc} {file.tar.gz or file.exe}
and it should read "good signature" in the result.

for windows use gpg4win https://www.gpg4win.org/ and read this article: https://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-verify-an-electrum-download-on-windows/

when did the transaction occur? all the transactions that are mined in a block, have a timestamp. if you see the details of them in your wallet or on a block explorer you can see that time.

if this happened in the past when you created the wallet that means your seed was compromised then. possibly because either you downloaded a fake Electrum or you had some malware on your computer that stole it (did you verify the signature back then?)

if the transaction happened the day you recovered your wallet with Seed then it means this new wallet was possibly fake or you have a malware now. (did you verify the signature of the downloaded wallet now?)

- if it is stolen then no there is nothing you can do about it.

Hi

I installed last version of electrum on my computer and enter my seed to recover my wallet yesterday. Before that, my wallet wasn't on any device, I juste had my seed written on a piece of paper. Today, I opened the wallet and I saw that a transaction was made with all my bitcoin and the balance is now 0 btc.

Anyone know if it's related to the upgrade of electrum or the bitcoins were juste stolen? Is that anything I can do to recover my bitcoin?
