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?

I would expect that Blockchain sets up your backup and security when you create an account. If you got prompted to put in your wallet information at a later time, that would have almost certainly been a phishing attack. I suspect that you were on a website that was not blockchain.info and the mock security setup provided the information to empty your account to your attacker.
Do you have a wallet ID or transaction ID you could share with us? – abelenky – 2017-06-05T16:28:31.327

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