yes, I know about sig https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105901.0
But I want to check file (hash of exe).

ThomasV, today I have found 3 more threads about "hacked" electrum and phshing. Could you, please, post everywhere (here in pinned thread, in twitter) MD5 / SHA-1 / signature of real Electrum 3.3.3 ? not only sig, but also MD5 / SHA-1 of files.
In will be secure, to check this info in 2 sources (download on official website and check hashes of .exe's here and in twitter. Really more secure.
Because I don't know till now, where is real electrum.

Electrum doesn't publish hashes because even fake websites can publish hashes. Digital signatures OTOH cannot be faked. So take the time to learn to verify the digital signature. It'll serve you well in the future.

electrum.org is the correct site btw.

But developers can post hashes of files here on bitcointalk. Or in twitter. In second source. It's 99.9% secure!
Why not to do this?
This section consist of million threads, where people complain about electrum wallet phishing
