I just woke up this morning with the notification of unusual transactions on my imtoken app. The person transferred $1.28 worth of ETH from my account ($0.62 + transaction fees of $0.66). The ETH was the one I left in the wallet for gas fees. I can't remember giving anyone my private key. I just can't figure it out. Please I need help if there is anything I can do before the one that will be worse than this happen. Below is the transaction hash https://etherscan.io/tx/0x427d1c7cc3f6662ef99831dbafd272047fe39e9e9500cb29d6003f80d4333427

Have you ever given your priv key to the your close person? It looks like you must try to migrate into the new wallet as your wallet is not safe anymore. Your wallet will not create a transaction automatically.
If that was happening and then you must never try to use it again. If you never give your privkey or access to your imtoken and then your wallet getting hijacked.
Create a new wallet and forget your old wallet. The hacker was taking your ethereum to be used for sending his USDT and i believe if that was also a stolen money too.

What about the tokens I have on the wallet, is there another way of moving them now that the ETH transaction fees is so huge?

You will not be able to do anything about it except move all the assets you have to another wallet, because your wallet has been purely hacked by someone else because of your negligence in the past even though you don't remember who gave the key. your personal beforehand.

You still have tokens on that wallet. If you can't avail of the loss of those tokens, move it quickly but you need to spend the GAS fee for it.
The nearest assumption is that your wallet has been compromised by someone. It could be from the forms that you have filled up or there's an app or file you have downloaded that contained malware.

In my opinion there is no other way than to move the assets in your old wallet to a new one, indeed the transaction fees are quite high now but if you don't move your assets immediately, I am sure you will lose all your assets. . It is better to pay a higher transaction fee than to lose all the assets you own. Think of this as an important lesson in your life, so never open your wallet in another place even if it's your friend's place and never use someone else's wifi to open your wallet, because all of that will be a big risk for you in the future.

Generate a completely new wallet. Make sure you don't keep the private keys info online (mail, cloud/dropbox, your computer, your phone), especially unprotected. If you plan to go for bigger amounts of money, you may consider buying/using a hardware wallet.

There is always a little bit of risk involved when you do transaction from your computer that is connected to the internet. It's possible that you were hacked or that you typed in your Wallet private key into a fake phishing website. What you should do now is create a new Wallet and send everything from your hacked wallet to your new one.

Your lucky doesn't have big balance so the hacker only get a little amount for you but as a warning its not safe to continue using that wallet. Create new and transfer all the funds to new wallet that you will be created.

If your wallet didn't have ethereum left and the hacker can't send your token but the hacker can send ethereum to your wallet to steal your token. It's better to use a new wallet rather than try to keep your old wallet that has already hacked.

Never mind, whether you have given now the key to someone or not. ASAP transfer all the coins from that wallet (if you have any) to another wallet, as your wallet is compromised. Do not wait for more damage to happen.

This should be your highest priority as the wallet is compromised. Once you transfer to another wallet and when its safe , we can backtrack how the wallet got compromised.

that's better thing you can do if you know that your wallet is possible hacked because of that unknown transaction . Make that wallet empty and don't use that wallet any more , I don't have any idea if how secure IM token is but its better to sustain wallet like myether and meta mask for creating a wallet.

Now the wallet anyway is just full of shitcoins, I'm sure you can create another wallet and forget about it because there is no way you can get the sent tokens back.
MEW has new app version which you can download through google playstore. I believe you will need to pay some EOS when creating IMtoken wallet but MEW is free. Also just don't share any data regarding your wallet not even your address if possible.

I think there are two things that must have happened. Either you have a pending transaction that you forgot about but eventually went through or You have been careless with your private key and have now been hacked. If you suspect this to be the case, then you should probably change all your passwords and get a new wallet.

the only thing you can do now is no longer use the wallet and with the tokens that are there I think you don't need to worry because the tokens you have still don't have a value. so just throw it away, because it's useless to move your token now "very expensive fee" is not worth the price of the token you have

Aside from moving to another wallet and moving your tokens to the newly created one, you must check your system before doing any of these. Who know some trojan that steals information is intalled in your device. Better make sure that your system is clean before doing anything because all the effort will be in vain if you failed to remove the malicious file / apps that is stealing your systems information.
