According to your description, it seems your device (the one you have your main wallet on) is infected with the clipboard hijacker malware. This malware replace the address you are intending the coins to with the hacker's address.

If this is the reason then all the other assets should be stolen as well right whenever if the wallet loads up with funds so this is probably due to some other reason like allowed access to x number of times instead of once.

Users who are using their metamask air drop rewards then they should always maintain a secondary wallet instead of their primary where usually they receive funds with actual value.

The problem that you described is not because of the wallet, someone knew the private key or seeds and then designed a fast bot that automatically sends tokens once it is deposited. I do not know how the fraudster gets the private key, but access to these deep information requires you to delete all the data your operating system your and start again.

This may happen not only by connecting your wallet, but also by entering your wallet seed into online site or by connecting the wallet to a suspicious site.

You give them the permission to do any transaction on your wallet if you connect your wallet on your platform so we need to be careful on those since mostly those hackers will spread out this thru airdrops that's why we need to be vigilant on all free things we see. If we can't avoid it since we love to participate on any airdrops much better for us to use only the dummy wallets available to avoid get any further damage from unfortunate hackings.

Most of these hack was as a result of clicking on any site without applying caution, I don't clicked to any link shared with me or send to me left alone to connect my with wallet with any swap or exchange. As member in this forum him or she should be wise enough to avoid being hacked.

The annoying part is that some of these supposed victims are already members of this educative crypto and awareness sermonizing forum, yet they allow shit happen to them. It baffles me when people throw caution to the wind once they hear or read that there's a giveaway or freebies going on. You dare connect your wallet to a site because you heard there's an airdrop going on or a mining blablabla... Then be ready to bear the cost of hacks and theft.

The most common hacks occur where you connect your wallet with untrusted sources and also don't revoke permission to those sites which results in draining of the wallets and whole funds in them.People see some lucrative offers on the site and click on them but the main problem occurs when you give them access to your wallets in hope of earning few dollars or without you even knowing about it.

There are many things you need to do as precautionary measures for safety of your funds and the best is not to connect your wallet on these sites and use burner address having limited funds over them because your safety lies in your hand.

The best decision in a situation like that when you think your wallet has been compromised is to get a new one. It costs next to nothing to install a new one.

Now what they should do is that.. Don't associate your main wallet with any other websites or dex, if you want to swap you need a spare address were you could send fund to swap or connect with any site at this point you have avoided being hacked or compromising your wallet.

You should have many different wallets and each of them is used for different things: investing, trading, gambling with hidden gems or shit tokens.

A most important wallet is for investing, that should be used for investment only. With that wallet, you should never log in and use it to connect to any new, strange websites, applications. That is very risky for your main capital for investment stored in that wallet.

For trading, you can use that wallet for trading only and should not use it to connect to strange dApps, websites, etc. Similar to a wallet for investment.

For a last wallet type, for gambling with shit tokens, you can connect it to dApps, websites that you don't actually know how good or hazardous they are.

I would also suggest also get a new wallet, but if your old wallet have some valuable coins, there is a need for the coins to be transfer, what happen is a bit different because they can't pullout the other coins which has also have a value, they can only pull-out bnb token in binance network, but other coins or altcoins they can't move or transfer it, that process save my friends other token, the only reason i share it is because maybe someone have experience the same issue, since few weeks a go another friend also experience it and it drains all his bnb, its up for the reader if they will take this seriously, but sharing info like this for me is very important since we have done an alternative to pull other tokens safely.

I believe what the OP said, if you just want to get a new one then create another one but not in the same computer since that computer that has your metamask wallet might be compromised. So, it's better to create it on another computer the one that hasn't been compromised but also we have to make sure that we downloaded the right app before going to install it on the computer.

There are same stories like this happened in the past so it's not that different but this should be enough to warn most altcoins user especially when using this app(metamask).

Signature space for rent

One of my known person's wallets was completely drained in the same manner. He used a single address to connect several sites and had never disconnected. Suddenly, funds were transferred to an unknown wallet. And funds are gone from all of his wallet's addresses. You must therefore exercise caution when using Metamask. Use a single wallet with a single address and don't keep your money in it. Simply move your token or funds after the swap or whatever else you want to do.

Be careful using your metamask and other wallets , i have encounter that my funds are being stolen automatically and being sent to a certain address, experience this in binance network, other coins are not stolen only the bnb token, every time funds are being sent, there is a few seconds before your funds will automatically sent to an address.

So how will us be able to transfer tokens to a new address? here is what i did

Prepare funds for transfer of your token to a new wallet, don't make exact value or amount since gas fee's changes
Create a new wallet from another computer don't create a new wallet on the same computer
Select assets and make the transaction ready, remember that what ever automation made from your wallet has delays of few seconds
On the other computer or laptop send the funds to the old wallet where you need to remove your other tokens, then send the token to your new address
In the process once your old wallet received the funds, the transfer of you made from your old wallet will be the first to process
Repeat this process until you transfer all your tokens to the new address

This process may or might not work with others but i have tried this to two of my friends, then i suggest format your computer, to make sure since my suspicion are computer might be infected of a certain malware, or because of the connection you made before to a certain app, or network on a chain.
I hope this will be able to help others who might experience it before or in the future

As you can see to the transactions we made funds are being sent out once we send decent amount to the wallet
so next time be very careful on where you connect those metawallets or other wallets to avoid this king of trouble

Hey are you kidding??
You create your post today and your transaction history showing about 251 days ago and you coming up to cook a story today and your btt account created July 22, 2022? Now how do you even mean, note that your token can only be tempped whenever you compromise your key phrase or possibly you were too careless to reveal phrase and private key.
If you think you are not safe using metamask wallet then try using trustwallet I have been using for long and no bad news or fraudulent activity recorded so far.

I believe this story because it look like a wound that failed to heal, the timing might be old but you will never forget.

The same happened to me years ago when I was a fan of coinomi wallet, I never knew the difference between a closed source and open source wallet then. I connect the wallet to countless website since I was into airdrop.

The mistake I made was leaving some valuable tokens on the wallet, and one day I got a notification that I sent out tokens, it wasn't me and when I checked it out it was moved to a new ETH wallet.

I think it doesn't matter if he takes evidence from cases that have been experienced even though it's been a long time, but the important factor is he shared a useful thread to be aware of connecting wallets with third parties because there is a possibility that we can lose assets in our wallet, many beginners don't know about it because they are involved in airdrop event by connecting a wallet with a fake project without knowing the risk of losing assets in the wallet.

I also have the same opinion, it doesn't matter how long the case has been going on, what matters is how someone can overcome the case of hacking the wallet so they can get their remaining assets. this is indeed a useful thread, but also keep in mind, that there are many similar threads with the same case.

Regarding the use of metamask, it should be noted that many phishing applications disguise themselves as metamask. Download the metamask plugin only on their official website.

Wallets that have been hacked like this usually lure users to send some assets for Fee, and when they are in they will quickly move them to another wallet. some of them use bots to make fast transactions,

whatever reason you use your screenshots which are long enough to create hacking stories on your assets. the story is not only experienced by you and your friends. this is a case that has been experienced by many users. especially those who like to participate in airdrop campaigns.
connecting the main wallet on the airdrop site is not a good way. simply store your assets in your main wallet which you never connect to any device. use a new wallet if you want to do it. you don't need to send your assets several times to different addresses. If you continue to use it to link to an obscure website, it will not change the risk.
I wish you more luck in the future.

What i actually saying is that you wouldn't have shared this screenshot above here because it doesn't represent anything meaningful and besides it was on old transaction and how does people believe what you are saying. This transaction was made about 251 days ago and how does this related to your post or topic, is there anything to understand here? It would have been better you created it as suggestions than as a witness to someone whom have fallen victim.

I don't know where you are coming from but I'm just sharing what I have experience, and also few weeks ago my colleague also experience this kind of hacking those screenshot are proof that it really happens, I'm not here to argue besides I'm just a new member, if I'm a member then , I should have shared it with others earlier, the purpose of the post is not to make story, but to let others know that they should be very careful god bless you sir.

well because the tokens where not stolen only the BNB where automatically sent to a certain address, I'm not making anything here, because 2 weeks ago one of my colleague experience this issue and he is so careful when using the wallet, if I'm not mistaken he said 1k+ usdt in bnb where stolen, i have known the person and he will not lie to us, i made it because of what happen, to make everyone aware, the reason with the image is because I'm the one who remote it and guide him before with the process, the other person while my colleague just told us, 251 days is not long my friend, sharing experience is better.
