An auto-withdrawal bot has been installed on your wallet, and this was done as a result of your connecting your wallet to a Web3 scam airdrop site that ended up backing up your wallet data. And since your extracted phrase is what was only needed for them to activate the auto withdrawal, you might have little chance of recovering those funds in your wallet since the bots are always activated to target blockchain coins, which are mostly used to cover transaction fees.
 
For you to recover your fund, you will need either another bot faster than the one installed on your wallet (this depends on the amount you have in that wallet, as those bots aren't cheap at all), or if the bot gives a little space before it could move out your fee, then you might just need some extra hands, one of which can serve as the gas sender and the other as the token sender.

I'm curious though, are you sure that's what you have? I would imagine that in order for this to work, the attacker would need your private keys/seed phrase, and you can't just get it by linking your address.

I believe the OP gave more than just their address; by connecting their wallet to most of these suspicious Dapps, or whatever they call them, they will at some point grant the site some sort of total access to their wallet which phrase and private key can be extracted without the user's notice.

This is called a sweeper bot. It looks like MetaMask has made an article on how you could potentially save your funds from it[1]. I gave it a quick read, and you're probably going to need some technical knowledge for this.

Sorry you have to learn this hard way but there is absolutely nothing you can do again. The hacker already has access to your wallet and I am even shocked that he left some tokens or coins there since you can see them. It would probably be a bait to lure into thinking you can withdraw your funds there and you send in gas fee. This gas fee will be wiped out by him every time you send them there.

For future references desist from all this airdrops of connecting your wallet and if you feel obliged to do so then Make sure you connect an empty wallet to it. Separate your funds from this kind of wallets

I applied for an airdrop where I connected my wallet a few days later I noticed that my wallet has been hacked and some of my money are gone. I tried sending gas to the wallet to move some tokens to a saved wallet, but if I send gas to the wallet the gas is been moved automatically by a bot. I do not know what to do to recover some of my tokens from the wallet.
