What to do if your Sui Wallet private key is compromised?
I've recently discovered that someone accessed my Sui Wallet private key and transferred my assets to their wallet. I already did some airdrops using this wallet. What steps should I take now? Can the wallet's support team help in such cases?

I'm sorry to hear that. I had a similar experience with my Phantom wallet. Unfortunately, nobody can help you with such a situation. Just consider changing your wallet and using the new one in your forward transactions. Although you can develop a sweeper bot on your account, needs you to be lucky to be the first one(be faster than the thief of your wallet) to withdraw from your old wallet!

2Here are a few general steps you could consider moving forward:
- Immediately secure any other wallets by updating your security practices (e.g., using hardware wallets, refreshing passwords).
- Contact the support team of the wallet provider, although they might not be able to reverse transactions or retrieve funds.
- Report the incident to local authorities and provide any available transaction details if you suspect theft.
- Monitor your affected wallet for any further unauthorized transactions.
- Share your experience on community forums to help raise awareness and gather advice.
It's unfortunate to hear that your Sui Wallet private key has been compromised. In such cases, there's little that can be done directly to retrieve the assets since cryptocurrency transactions are typically irreversible.
