Wallet sweeper 0x1c3A69b4…: 8 Ethereum wallets emptied, 24 Oct 2026

Between 24 Oct 20:02 UTC and 24 Oct 20:16 UTC, 8 Ethereum wallets each sent their entire ETH balance to the same freshly created address, 0x1c3A69b42e84168528D434e4651aAEC3F497e6EB. Taken together they lost 0.5836 ETH. 8 of them had not been touched for more than a year, the oldest since 2020. 8 were left with exactly 0 ETH, the same remainder to the wei, which is what an automated sweeper script leaves behind after paying gas. The wallets were funded from unrelated sources and show no sign of one owner moving his own money. This is the signature of private keys or seed phrases that have leaked, and of a script that empties every wallet it holds a key for as soon as it is run.

Where the money went: 0.6546 ETH to 0xb5d85CBf7cB3EE0D56b3bB207D5Fc4B82f43F511 (Coinbase, 24 Oct 22:01 UTC, tx 0xbacd8cb4b335b842b5613ed2a34b35d1ac1c9b7a5dff7d627dd52249f0e399e4).

PublicAML has labelled 0x1c3A69b42e84168528D434e4651aAEC3F497e6EB as a hack collector, so any wallet or exchange that screens it with PublicAML sees a critical risk score, and the exchange deposit addresses that received the proceeds carry a stolen-funds label. Exchange hot wallets are not labelled.

If your address is in the list below, assume its private key or seed phrase is known to someone else. Do not send anything more to it. Move any remaining tokens and NFTs to a new wallet created with a new seed phrase, from a clean device. Keep the sweep transaction hash: the exchange that received the funds and the police will ask for it.
