Hey community,
I have a problem with my Electrum wallet and keep wondering how this could have happened.
Today, I opened my Electrum wallet for the first time since in a few month and noticed that a transaction was made, resulting in an empty wallet. It definitely wasn’t me.
I’m not sure if I opened Electrum and left it running for a few minutes while completing other tasks before fully checking the program. The transaction happened 10 minutes before I noticed it. If I followed the BTC chain correctly, my BTCs were transferred to a Robinhood wallet, so it clearly wasn’t me.
I know the money is gone, and I’ll have to live with that. However, I keep asking myself: how could this even happen? Is this a real Trojan attack where they scan for open wallets?
Maybe someone can help me understand how this could have occurred.
Thanks a lot!
