It's your app's fault, why your app have a back door to do this?

I'm afraid you downloaded binaries from a malicious GitHub repository. I have reported the owner of the repository to GitHub for distributing malware. If a substantial amount of money was stolen, you may want to contact law enforcement as well. I would also advise that you consider your computer compromised, and take appropriate action.

The bug allowing servers to display (potentially malicious) arbitrary messages has already been fixed both in Electrum and Electrum-LTC (in version 3.3.3.1, which was released 2 months ago). Nonetheless, you should always be very careful when downloading software from the internet, and it is important to verify authenticity by checking digital signatures, especially when there is money involved.

I am sorry for your loss, but there is nothing else I can do to help. Money was stolen, so you should get in touch with your local police, even though the chances of getting your money back are slim.

@tofffff Did you check your browser history to make sure that you really downloaded from electrum-ltc.org?
