Here's the discussion of this Electrum vulnerability from back when it happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18770577 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18770577 Looks like this guy installed an old and vulnerable version. Electrum has a history of severe security bugs. If you want to store crypto safely, I recommend a Trezor hardware wallet. If you want crypto exposure in your portfolio without the technical/security headaches, I recommend Grayscale's investment products. GBTC, for example, is backed by Bitcoin and you can buy it through any investment account.
