Draining of Sepolia ETH

[Aashim-Limbu]

Why is my Sepolia ETH draining automatically?

I noticed an issue with my Sepolia testnet ETH. Once I mint ETH from a faucet, it automatically gets transferred to an unknown address:

0x6a97eADA929869C9419B23EeEDEfb4CA763BAdf2

I did not authorize this transaction, and I have not interacted with any suspicious contracts or applications (at least as far as I know).

Here’s the transaction history showing the receiver address:

The receiver address appears to belong to this wallet:

What I’ve Done So Far

1. I used MetaMask to mint Sepolia ETH.
2. The ETH gets drained almost immediately after receiving it in my wallet.
3. I checked the transaction on Etherscan, and the recipient is always the same address: 0x6a97eADA929869C9419B23EeEDEfb4CA763BAdf2.

Questions

• What might be causing this issue?
• Are there any steps I can take to stop this from happening?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My 15 sepolia eth got transferred, and I remember correctly I mistakenly showed my private key while I was trying to help someone solve their issue. I mined some few sepolia ether into another wallet, and It has not been drained which affirms the fact that my private key was comprehended by some people. Use another wallet and see if it still got drained.
