I think the hacker wallet is a result of entering a Private Key on web fishing. They often send via email by distributing Airdrop gifts. Earlier I just found a message in the form of joining AirDrop on behalf of the BNB. I deleted the message, but I also entered the Private Key on the web fishing.
After I checked the BNB official website there was no distribution of the Airdrop prizes. And email is also different from the official BNB website.
I suggest that you carefully join AirDrop.
