yesterday, the Electrum devs published a very good summary of the most common malware attacks on your wallet.
check out this github link and read it carefully. i hope that this will now reach more users who may have been more careless with the whole thing so far!

Malware (and other avenues of losing money)

It always depends on the users themselves. If you want to make sure you are using the right software, you need to verify the wallet software. There are very simple tips that you should follow:

Always download Electrum from the official website and verify the software's digital signatures. This ensures that the software is authentic and hasn't been tampered with.
Keep your Electrum wallet updated to the latest version. Developers regularly update the software to patch vulnerabilities.

Besides that its always helpful to use strong passwords and activate 2FA. Hardware wallets would add another layer of security ofc.

And ofc dont get fooled by any emails or websites that pretend to be Electrum.
