I bought my first few Bitcoins in 2012; eventually I got around 100 and managed to hold most of them until this point. Yesterday they were stolen from me. Shortly after I made a transaction, I left my PC with Electrum open, I believe there was a key logger waiting for me to type my password as when I returned an hour later, I saw my account had been emptied.

This happened shortly after receiving my hardware wallet (ledger), which I never got round to filling up. Obviously storing £350k(that hurts to type) on my daily computer was a moronic thing to do.

See the transaction here: https://blockchain.info/tx/220caec53bac39cc1a2d2692eecd385bca796fc1a839254ddd622b911344ae97

The Bitcoins were then split and are currently residing at these two addresses:
https://blockchain.info/address/18JCmLzKQoZydXspc6CPwovWVwYtUT7DCx
https://blockchain.info/address/16YiXuw4eaFVvpyhX7mYufwsj77LHrydUx
https://blockchain.info/address/18ZnbD5JQwdEJRwKrb34nXPu7J6pHN1CMR

I know I wont get these Bitcoins back but if anyone knows of a blockchain or malware analysis service or just want to give me advice, I would appreciate it.

For information leading to the recovery, I can pay 3 BTC + 50% of the recovered bitcoins

Almost 5 years of holding it and this happens, losing 95 BTC and 120+ LTC is so devastating in your part and with that I can't do anything but let me ask some question that only you can answer to help those other electrum users also just like myself, and other Bitcoin holders that holds theirs with their private keys.

- How many times are you opening your Electrum wallet and LTC wallet in a week or day before it was hacked?
- Beside you who other people got an access into your personal computer?
- Did you open your Electrum wallet to some other computers within those 5 years?
- Did you save your private key online(email, facebook)
- After all those years in cryptocurrency and storing a huge amount of it in a long term why is it the hacker only attacks now?

Maybe you just so confident that you will never be hack but please share some of your possible wrong doings that made before it was done.
