Ether Transfer – Why Has My Ether Been Automatically Sent to Another Address?

ethereum-wallet-dappmetamasktruffle

I sent 0.04 Ether to my metamask address and within minutes the Ether was resent to another address automatically without my knowledge. this is my address 0x627306090abab3a6e1400e9345bc60c78a8bef57 and that the address my ether was sent to without my notice is 0xe3a894890459bb8d23418c8b288c225eb4b13a52.
Can anyone tell me whats going.

Unfortunately the address you are using was generated by truffle develop and the seed used to generate it is know. So anybody can access to any funds send to that account.

You have to stop using this address and generate a new one.

See this article post on reddit [WARNING] I sent ETH to my metamask account generated with truffle and the ETH disappeared.
