I lost 2.2 BTC

I generate the address 6 years ago. The address is the only one I generated with vanitygen and I can't remember where or which website/tools I used to generate it. Imported to my wallet. The address is 1EoReTRo6yA4hgS5muRChyrnmVRcufPZ2B

Sad story begin, when I decide to split some of my BTC on 06-20-2022, I use that address as one of temporary receiver, and the plan is to move it to my main wallet on 06-27-2022. Tonight 06-22-2022, I just google about vanitygen, because I just use it again and curious about it growth, but what I see is frightening headline and information, that fake/modified vanitygen is use to stole the BTC. I quickly check my wallet saw the address have 0 BTC, with unknown transaction on 06-21-2020 :

This is very hard lesson.
