There is no version 4.0. Looks like you download malware. Sorry for your loss.
Thanks for replying AbdussamadA. I was using Electrum 3.2.3 until i had this message when trying to send Bitcoin : "Transaction Error : Required Security update (v4.0.0)" !!! Then i update from this website : https://my.electroneum.com/4.0.0/electrim-4.0.0.exe https://my.electroneum.com/4.0.0/electrim-4.0.0-setup.exe
@Boutag The links don't work for me. Can you please double-check them? Copy the URL from your browser history directly.
Yes, it do not work now !!! But it was working on February 23 and 24, 2019 and i downloaded these executable files. If you want i can send them to you on e-mail to analyse them, but be carefull please. I also can send you a screendshots of the errors that i had before downloading these file thinking to have a correct version !!!
No need to analyze them, we are 100% sure this is malware. The real Electrum executable files are distributed on electrum.org, and signed by developers. Sorry for your loss, but there is nothing we can do for you
@ecdsa well had I managed to download and confirm the malware from those links, we could have actually tied those guys to the malware electroneum.com seems to be the domain of a shitcoin, with an actual company behind it, and social media, and publicly identified people.
@SomberNight fair enough, but I think the OP might have misreported these links. @Boutag can you check the links you reported?
note: latest scam url detected by my script is https://eIectrum.net
Thansk to all for your reply. Sorry, i think i reported the wrong link ! I was shocked when losting all amount of Bitcoin ! Here is the link where i downloaded that version: https://myelectrum.org/4.0.0/electrum-4.0.0.exe https://myelectrum.org/4.0.0/electrum-4.0.0-setup.exe But the link does not work anymore !!! The problem is that the "Electrum version 3.2.3" who returned me to that link !!! i attatched 2 files screenshots of that problem.
I just lost over 1000$ due to this error. I am beyond furious. Fuck every single one of you developers for letting something like this happen. You're all lucky Im too poor and busy to attempt a lawsuit. Also the version of malware that got me was slightly different from the one pictured above. It refused to let me send any transactions until I "Upgraded."

No, that's how it works. It's about the server you are connected to. The server does not relay the tx, and it sends back the error. You just need to select a different server.
The point is moot. I don't care if it was the server side or not I'm never using electrum again after this shit show. It's inexcusable and someone owes me a lot of money I'm pretty sure I'm never gonna get back.

The Electrum wallet is bad and the people who made it should feel bad. They allowed a major, known problem that was loosing people massive amounts of money to go on for months and months and months. That kind of negligence is simply inexcusable.

The architecture is decentralised. No one has the power to fix the issue as no one controls the system. Decentralisation has pros and cons.
We have spent significant resources on trying to mitigate the issue, see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5084#issuecomment-461641700 but that's all that can be done: mitigations.
Perhaps you should try harder then, or put more resources towards those mitigations. Because it doesn't look like they're doing much of anything right now.

Is there a way to sue the scammers? I also lost my funds and I'm angry.
I contacted the FTC and the FBI through the IC3 compliant report (although I'm not from the US). If you're an US citizen, you may also contact a lawyer at least for advisory (free of charge).
I found this WHOIS and provided it to the report, and also reported to Privacy Protect service, in order to find the criminals.
Also, my funds were sent to the following address:

You may aslo report the address https://electrumstart.net as scam website.
Yup I was just cough as well :/
The address I fell with was https://electrumtek.com

The thing that is bugging me is that I got a notification that my current version has a serious issue and i should download 4.0 when i tried to send a transaction. How did this happen?

Have you filed the police report? We should act together for a class action suit.
Why is there "CLOSED" above this very important topic, when it is not closed ???
It's Electrum imminent software flaw that caused all of us the loss of life savings. We should act against them together.
Are you located in France? Have you filed a police report?
Why is there "CLOSED" above this very important topic, when it is not closed ???
This place is an issue tracker for developers. This issue was closed because the cause of the theft is explained (it was phishing), and because we already fixed the vulnerability in our software (about five months ago). Therefore there is no information here that could be useful for software development.
This does not mean that we are dismissing your issue. You should file a police report and forward that information to us. We are in contact with the german police and we can forward any information you want, regarding your identity and the bitcoin addresses where the stolen funds have been sent.
Well, I lost 0.7 BTC.

Reading my mind here. Faultry products should be recalled from the market, no matter what business model they are - open-source and whatnot. The court is to decide.
My modest $8000 (very hard earned btw and ironically doing content & PR for blockchain startups here in Berlin) is not the biggest amount ever lost in crypto hacks, but I haven't been able to sleep much ever since.

What I fail to understand is why I was not automaticly and immediatly warned when I opened up my Electrum wallet last sunday after not using it for a year? You developers took on a huge responcebility for handling peoples money, and yet, by the looks of it, it can and will happen to a lot of other users who have not come to update Electrum to the phishing-safe version. What are you saying to them? I think the little message at the opening of the site electrum.org (which is totally confusing cause taking this litteraly means you will never be able to update to any level higher than the current) is a pretty lame way out. I read no regret or excuses about the pain that's being caused. ARE YOU HUMAN AT ALL ? If I would carry that responsability I would redraw the product, alert everyone BIG TIME and start all over again with a new product name, so no confusing situation could exist. Electrum should be pronounced dead so all phishing-sensitive-users out there, can be made aware no matter what version. YOU ARE STILL LETTING IT HAPPEN, which prooves you're not worthy to carry that responsability to handle peoples hard earned money.

That is because software updates are not automated. You were running an old version of the software, that predates the discovery of the phishing attack. (if you think that automated software updates would be better, consider the harm that could be done by a malicious actor taking control of the automated update.)
For me there is no use to go to the police,
Yes, please report the theft to the police, it is useful. We are in contact with the german police, and we asked them to take down the domain names of phishing servers. Since they need to work with authorities of other countries where those domain names are registered, it would help to have official reports from victims. That's why we ask you to report it and forward the info to us.

alert everyone
we already did that as much as that is realistic at all
start all over again with a new product name, so no confusing situation could exist
The phishers can mimic anything we do. This is open source software. Anyone can change any minor detail and build binaries for themselves. Let's say we changed the name. They too would change the name and just phish users with messages that now use the new name. "Urgent security update!! Download SuperDuperUltraSecure New Wallet now!"
Again, anyone can change any minor detail and build binaries for themselves. The only protection you have is verifying the GPG signature. That is your only way of authenticating the binary.

Got a tip for Electrum 'team': try posting on social media at least occasionally, or rather EVERY DAY, to give your 'precious' users a chance to notice this fuck up.
I lost 10k, and I'm getting it back.
@OlyaGreen: Maybe bitcoin is not for you. There is a classic banking, which takes responsibility for your money. Bitcoin and its community does not take that responsibility. If you do not inform yourself about some things, then you may lose money. I'm so sorry.
oh wow, another wise man here.
I know what bitcoin is, check my profile for starters.
re responsibility - as long as there are monetary losses incurred by users of vulnerable software and regulations protecting consumers, it's for the court to decide. Not you, not anyone else in the 'bitcoin community'. Educate yourself, that helps.

Finally, I was able to but after I clicked send, a message pop up says Required Security Update (V4.0.0). I trusted the links because it comes from electrum wallet (3.0.6). I wasn't any other website to download anything.
But after I upgrade to 4.0 all my bitcoin was gone. :o
