I RECOMAND EVERYONE TO MOVE FUNDS FROM ELECTRUM ANYWAY ... !!!

Sorry for you loss, but for now, as far as i know, electrum does remain one of the safest SPV desktop wallets. Recommanding people to move away from electrum might be driving them towards inferior wallets.
The main problem here is that you downloaded a fake electrum version from a scammer. He used a known vulnerability in a previous electrum version that allowed him to send you a message when you connected to his node... This issue has been fixed in more recent versions, this doesn't mean the software is guaranteed 100% vulnerability-free, but i don't think there's a guarantee like that with any of the free software you use...

You're the victim here, so i won't be victim-blaming. You got scammed and i really feel sorry for you... But think about it like this: if a nigerian prince send you an email asking for $1000 promising he'll send $1000000 back, will you do this without verifying anything about his story just because you have a phone, he has a phone and he knows you phone number? Well, you downloaded a version of electrum just because somebody sent you a message telling you to do this. Granted, the message looked pretty convincing, but so does the story told by the "real" nigerian prince Sad

Bitcoin is money, don't trust anybody, verify all signatures, never give away your private keys, use encryption and strong (unique) passwords whenever possible, keep your pc clean,...
