Hey,
im using an electrum wallet and a pretty safe setup, unfortunately it seems like my BTCs (~0.02BTC) were "stolen". on 13.02.18
someone (not me) made a transaction of full amount. Usually you would say i got malware or a keylogger but look now look at the receivers "wallet":
bc1qrxg3evc3jlnhqle2uhauag708ltzumaskj2nx5 (and the transaction ID for details: a85cb7ff23ac5371d6dff9a623b80e516cfe2009072169b3cdb48442c63a982c)
according to blockchain.info thats not even a legit wallet adress... before i stop: im using the electrum 3.0.5 full node wallet since the beginning of february, as there was
found a security issue in all versions of 3.0.4 and earlier. 
has anyone experienced similar things or can explain to me what happened there? for the very uncertain case someone can bring me back my BTCs
i will of course give you a small bounty Wink
kind regards


BTC.com says it's a valid bitcoin address. https://btc.com/bc1qrxg3evc3jlnhqle2uhauag708ltzumaskj2nx5

Try my address to the left (ending in 6ez) and you'll see blockchain.info says the address doesn't exist, or there's an incorrectly placed 0 or something like that).

Have you installed/been anywhere where a virus could be installed? Any free services that seem to good to be true (downloading/watching content that would have required money to produce).
