Short answer

If your wallet was drained again after you moved funds, it usually means the original wallet was already compromised and still had active permissions or access.

Moving funds alone does not fix a compromised wallet—because the attacker often still has approval access or can re-target remaining assets.

One core mechanism explanation

This typically happens in one of three ways:

Active token approvals were never revoked If you previously signed a malicious approval, a smart contract can continue executing transfers as long as: • tokens remain in the wallet • or new tokens are deposited later

Even after you move funds once, any remaining assets can still be targeted automatically.

This can sometimes be verified by reviewing approval history on tools like Etherscan, where you may see ongoing or previously granted “allowance” permissions.

The wallet address is already flagged and monitored Some wallet drainers don’t just act once—they monitor compromised addresses and trigger automated scripts…
