OSX App Store? I wasn't aware that Electrum was available on the Mac App-Store...
My search results confirm that the OSX App Store does not contain Electrum for download. But there’s Electron Cash (BCH wallet), and something called Electrum Unity, but that has nothing to do with the crypto wallet. If the OP can confirm that he actually download Electrum from there, it is possible that it was a fake wallet that was removed.

I don't think that was the one.
I actually searched through my app download/purchase histories and found... nothing.
I read somewhere that is Apple pulls an app rather than developer then all records associated with that app will be expunged.
I also called Apple twice and they seem to be unable to find any purchases or downloads either...
...maybe I'm imagining things...
3.3.8, last time I used it before yesterday's discovery was in February, download was from osx app store
OSX App Store? I wasn't aware that Electrum was available on the Mac App-Store... The only legit location I know of is the download section at electrum.org (https://electrum.org/#download)
Is it possible you downloaded a fake version from the app store? Is it still listed on the OSX App Store? Can you provide a link?
I miss-spoke. I downloaded it using brew, which is kind of command line GNU store:
Code:
macbook:Downloads arijan$ brew cask list

What you need to do now is to analyze how your coins were stolen, so that it won't happen again in the future.
- have no clue how
Did you store your seed in your email, cloud storage or your computer?
- no, only on my personal file server on private network since 2013
Could your coins have been physically compromised, i.e. someone physically stole/copied your seed?
- have no idea, one wallet is safe, only default_wallet is compromised
Did you use some unsecure wallet generation method, like picking the seed words manually?
- no
Do you use a cold storage setup, or did you access your wallet from a live machine?
- live machine
Is the password on your wallet file strong?
- yes

If there's a 5 month gap between last time you accessed coins and the theft, it might mean that some malware stole your wallet file and bruteforced your password. You might want to move the coins from your other wallet to a freshly created one in isolated environment.
Your story is pretty strange, but I've seen similar stories before, and it's usually discovered that a seed or wallet file were stored insecurely and a malware incident or online hacking took place.
can wallet be bruteforced? How long would it take for a 8 char (small+caps+digits)? Quite some time I would assume.

Do you encrypt your seed or not (such as storing seed on .txt file)? If not, i would agree with 2nd scenario mentioned by @bob123
txt I'm affraid
To me it seems that there are 2 likely scenarios:
1) Your mobile is compromised. This is quite unlikely because you said you have 2 wallet files stored there but only 1 got compromised.
Further your wallet was password protected and since you didn't open it for 5 months it is quite odd that it got emptied 1 month ago.
2) Your mnemonic code somehow got exposed. That's what i would guess. You stored your mnemonic on a file server. Is there a (any) route from your file server to the internet? If yes, then most likely your file server somehow got compromised.
Number 2) would be my guess. What kind of software is running on your file server, which version? How is it running inside of your network (old PC, etc..)? Do you have a firewall set up?

file server is a qnap server and yes about a month ago I had to upgrade firmware on it however I doubt this would be the cause.
Firewall, yes, it is there but I doubt it is of much help if the exposure came from a malware or something like that as computers do have to have access to file server files...
You can try posting the addresses or reporting it to the police, but there's practically no chance that your coins will be returned.

What version of Electrum were you using? And did you ever do the digital signature verification when you installed it?
3.3.8, last time I used it before yesterday's discovery was in February, download was from osx app store
Regrettably, I have discovered today that my bitcoins were stolen, I had them in Electrum wallet for years with no problem.
I'm not sure how, as I did not use the wallet for 6 months and funds have disappeared about a month ago.
Some made it to the Huobi exchange... and yes I've tried contacting them.
What else should I do? Does posting my wallet addresses here help?

I like the idea of using crypto currency in Internet marketing. It's something new! Not material advertising - not material money, everything is logical) Now all life goes into the virtual 
So truth) some years ago nobody could imagine that virtuality will be so popular, but now it's good and very comfortable ...who are we without it??))))
Perhaps in the future we will use only crypto currency instead of money..
well sometime in the very very very distant future
Why not to imagine?)) It's not a fairytail any more))
What to tell.. We live in progressive times, we are lucky people, and we should take all chances to improve our lives.. It's natural)
Agree
Even in this progressive times there are those who don't want to take part in such projects.. But everybody have chance to become rich) everybody!
Re: [ANN]🚀BITCOMO| CPA NETWORK on Blockchain - FOR SMARTCONTRACT PROJECTS AND ICO🚀
I was looking for similar projects, but found nothing. It seems that the project is unique.
Who cares if it's gonna bring money to investors
Even if it's not unique anymore it will definitely still be the best of this kind of projects.
Mat be there are some other projects which deserve attention, but I know this one, and I trust it)
I think more wise to invest money in one really good project than in many you don't confident in.
Absolutely agree

For $ 100 I will buy 333 units. I'm sure the money invested here will bring more profits than the bank deposits at a percentage.
Invest in bitcoin, I think it's late
How it may be late if its growing like thousand dollars a week???! It will be $10k+ in the end of the year i swear, somebody even say it'll take $12k mark soon, so i don't think it's late Invest in bitcoin, I think it's late
Yep,bitcoin grow,but not so fast and not so much. But BM token will grow faster and stronger
What do you think man, how much token will grow? I think to $1 or $2 ..maybe more
It'll grow to 0.5$ 100% and then we'll see
Re: [ANN]🚀BITCOMO| CPA NETWORK on Blockchain - FOR SMARTCONTRACT PROJECTS AND ICO🚀
Btw, I was searching for similar ICO and found nothing decent and coherent. It gave me for confidence in this one.
If this is the project I am thinking about, BITCOMO is safe. It's definitely the best and most successful ico project for now.
Re: [ANN]🚀BITCOMO| CPA NETWORK on Blockchain - FOR SMARTCONTRACT PROJECTS AND ICO🚀
I think I'm going to become more rich))
I've bought some tokens too, it's my first experience, believe in success
It's good perspective, let's see
Im glad that bought tokens in the very beginning!
Re: [ANN]🚀BITCOMO| CPA NETWORK on Blockchain - FOR SMARTCONTRACT PROJECTS AND ICO🚀
Guys, did you know that there is a Bitcomo article on Forbes?
Bitcomo is really perspective and interesting project with low chances to fail, so I'm not surprised that Forbes mentioned it already. Btw, is there a link to that article?
