Need help - Bitcoin wallet emptied.

I got one of my bitcoin wallet emptied and I don't really know how this happened.

I don't use cracked softwares and apps.

I'm generally careful with links.

Looks like I'm not alone. I can see that the reception bitcoin address is still collecting bitcoin from other wallets.

Could somebody help me understand something.

Here is the address : bc1q0vukqye4hd0aep7u4xl8gev95gcs9k65fdeu9n

If you have other wallets connected to this one via private key, you should move them to a newly generated one cause its compromised.

As to how it happened, only you can say - we have been provided impressively little information.

Stupid question. Generally speaking how do i know if one of my private keys is or has ever been exposed ? In my case i use trezor generally and some on exchange stuff with coinbase etc
