Lost LTC & Major Electrum Security Issue (Electrum gave me someone else's seed!) #154

Open MatskiLTC opened 6 years ago

MatskiLTC commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I was transferring my Litecoins from my exodus wallet to my electrum-ltc wallet and they seem to have disappeared or went to the wrong wallet and I was hoping someone could help me.

Exodus litecoin wallet Address: LSSKiMJ7gCDgoZk9dyKHq9anhQaSwAMJJD

Transaction ID: 8baebaa0ecdf750238429a5ec2b451bcf64a364300d00129ff4aefc68b2c1aba

When I was creating a new electrum-ltc wallet, it went through the initial setup process and created a seed which I wrote down. Then the electrum wallet opened, and I copied the address

electrum-ltc: LiCHq2cBjiyfQCSBow8gUTDSNBwgv8uQJw

and send the litecoins there. It never showed up in the electrum wallet, even after hours of waiting. So I tried to reenter the seed that was given to me and electrum-ltc on my computer was saying that there was an error connecting to the blockchain, so I gave the seed to a trusted friend who was open to open it and it was a different wallet completely with 6 previous transactions and a 0 LTC balance.

The address of the seed is giving me is:

LafoG2o3Kocsxt56gweCQezUVV1o8yU3T7

Which has 6 previous transactions, and 0 LTC. All of which aren’t mine.

I’m not entire sure what has happened and wanted to see if anybody in the litecoin or electrum-ltc community could help me solve this. Even if I am unable to get my litecoin back, the fact that I have someone else's seed is a huge issue. I would be willing to share the seed with mods if necessary, since there is currently 0 LTC in it, but the transactions are recent and it could still be active

I'm afraid you might have been using malware disguising itself as Electrum-LTC.

I have experienced another problem. I sent 15 LTC to a new electrum-ltc wallet yesterday at 17.48 and found that they have been sent to another wallet at 21.44. I am operating on windows10. Electrum-ltc 3.0.6.2, downloaded from electrum-ltc.org with filename electrum-ltc-3.0.6.2-setup. (13MB) How?

i fear the people from electrum-ltc.org are implementing viri into their program because i just tried to download and it said it had sprisky.U! virus in it. from this source.
