I found my lost seed and recovered my electrum wallet; only to find that wallet had been emptied.     10.78134 BTC gone, now 0. Can anyone explain to me how that is possible. How did someone successfully hack my account.
10.78134 is huge, I hope you are being sincere here. Many factors might be responsible for that and electrum is in the best position to furnish you with accurate answers. First, you might be careless with the seed phrases and someone close to you might have discovered them unnoticed to steal from you.

But in case electrum confirms to you that your wallet was indeed hacked, then there is nothing you can do as Bitcoin wallets are also susceptible to hacking. You might only want to try compensation from electrum if indeed is not your fault. They might also try on their path to trace the transaction, unfortunately, hackers are smarter these days.
