thanks everyone for the answers

i think electrum users are targeted with this attack from pornhub

I have seen a video from john mcafee talking about the dangers of porn sites and were he warned explicitly users of pornsites and even said in this video that 1 day users of porn sites will wake up and have their wallets emptied

Here is the video

John McAfee is right about some things regarding security,there is too many infected devices and most of users do not take care too much about their online security.This is one of the reason why there is so many hacks of BTC wallets on desktop PC and probably on mobile devices where security is on more lower level.

He just gives an example of porn sites as a potential source of infection,but you can get virus/malware on almost any site you visit.I agree that hardware wallets should be the best option to keep coins safe,so far they proved impossible to hack.
