This is beyond stupid on so many levels.
I can't believe you can be so dumb to use an online wallet generator (or any wallet for that matter) without verifying its integrity.
You also knew the wallet was potentially compromised yet took no measures to protect the funds.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope your learnt your lesson.
its really easy to make this mistake when you're brand new and have not studied any of it. Hopefully this can make people aware of some of the risks.

I hope so. Every serious wallet software advises to double check the checksum of the file being downloaded.
You should cross check from trustworthy sources that you are using a legit copy.
Every bitcoin guide that points you to download a wallet warns the reader about this, this advice was clearly neglected.
