Problem with Electrum - Stolen Bitcoin! Help wanted!

Hello /r/darknetmarkets, I'm looking for some help with a problem regarding electrum and possibly stolen bitcoin. I added bitcoin to my electrum wallet today, and when I logged into the wallet all of that bitcoin as well as some of the bitcoin that was already in the wallet was gone. A transaction is shown, and the weird thing is that it has -1 confirmations. I'm wondering what this means and if there's anything I can do to stop this transaction, as it wasn't made by myself. Any help would be really appreciated!

It could be that the transactions aren't showing up yet. Sometimes when you restore the wallet from its seed it takes a few minutes for it to sync and show the transactions.

Hmm.. Do what does the blockchain say about the transaction? Still -1 confs?

Sounds like a client-side issue to me but check the blockchain and confirm that.

Are you using the Electrum that's included in Tails, or are you foolish and de-anonymizing yourself on another platform, just long enough for malware to nab your wallet's private keys?

Sometimes I have the exact same situation. I leave Electrum running and it starts re-synchronizing and after a couple of times it shows my bitcoins.

You could be loading a different wallet. Chances are it was deposited into you default.wallet, make sure you're loading up the one you deposited into.

After reading the comments and your replies, it seems that you have malware on your system. Also , copying over your electrum seed and putting it on your normal OS was a horrible idea, and seems to be where your OPSEC hole is. It seems like these coins are irrevocably lost. I honestly hope it wasn't much, because that would suck, but next time, please be more careful. There are helpful links everywhere on this sub showing you how to properly do it.
