Wallet sweeper 0x4e59e80D…: 59 Ethereum wallets emptied, 26 Oct 2026

Between 26 Oct 13:44 UTC and 26 Oct 13:47 UTC, 59 Ethereum wallets each sent their entire ETH balance to the same freshly created address, 0x4e59e80D98e07A255481cA5Cc7280F93B2FA3AC9. Taken together they lost 0.0392 ETH, plus the stablecoins listed below. 53 of them had not been touched for more than a year, the oldest since 2020. 59 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.

It took stablecoins as well as ETH: 19,972.73 USDT from 297 wallets; 2,036.78 USDC from 112 wallets; 657.34 DAI from 3 wallets.

It got 11.1511 ETH back from swap contracts (Kyber Network): that is the collector selling what it took, not new money.

PublicAML has labelled 0x4e59e80D98e07A255481cA5Cc7280F93B2FA3AC9 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.
