<p>I just completed my backup phrase security setup with blockchain after I was prompted to click finish. As soon as I click it the account confirmed a transaction I did not do transferring almost all my bitcoin to an unknown address. Could someone explain to me what happened and if I can get back my fund?</p>

Here are the details of that transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/bb52b31132c25be2a5626d62fb652ee144750418df090e357c887e8efdcb511f

It seems to be for about about $0.29.   Do you think someone stole your 30 cents?
