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?

There is no login option with Electrum wallet, but if you are using wind0ws OS than there is a chance your computer was infected with some malware or keylogger.
Something like this can happen if your seed words got leaked and compromised, either you kept then online, or in digital format on your computer, you should never do that.
Keeping backup offline and using hardware wallets are the good way to improve protection for your coins.

I know there is no login, but you can protect your wallet with a password which you have to insert every time

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!

Probably some trojan or mallware you got from some p0rn site. Just kidding... But the method is the same. Either your keys were leaked, or you installed a compromised electrum wallet.
Or as i said, you have a STD on your pc that looks harmless, but is waiting for you to open your wallet

you load the wallet. They did not drain before but right after I entered the password!
