As of yet, not much real information in this topic... all assumptions for the moment...  Cry
Will be interesting to know what the real cause is! Malicious update, malicious dependency or a (long hidden) exploit or even an inside job?
Nobody knows the problem. Atomic wallet is close source.

I use the Windows desktop version (2.65.0) and haven't updated recently. I also didn't open the wallet recently, not sure exactly when I did last but surely it was more than 14 days ago. Checked my addresses via an online explorer and all funds were still there. Moved my BTC out with Electrum and moved my DOGE out with Coinomi. Beter safe than sorry!
Electrum is good for bitcoin because it is completely open source. Coinomi is closure source too, I can not recommend it.

Did you import your Atomic wallet seed phrase on Electrum? Create another wallet on Electrum and transfer your coins there so that your coins can be safe.

For high amount of bitcoin, use a cold wallet.
