How to save oneself when Solana's address is hacked, I feel it is necessary to explain.
The original assets in the wallet that have been stolen are basically beyond rescue. The self rescue situation here is to rescue newly added assets (except SOL), which means transferring the assets to an address where the owner's permission has been hijacked.
Under normal circumstances, your Solana address Owner defaults to System Program, and hackers will permanently change Owner permissions to malicious programs by inducing signatures.
The malicious program has full control over this address, and once ownership is hijacked, your private key cannot operate this account (even if it can sign transactions, the runtime will reject them). The SOL of this address is directly controlled by malicious programs and there is no way to save it. The only ones that can save themselves here are other SPL tokens.
The logic of self rescue is:
Use a recovery tool to connect the hacked wallet and the secure wallet separately. The tool will construct a special instruction, and the hacked wallet will sign the token tranfer part. The secure wallet will pay the transaction fee and use it to receive the asset.
After the transaction is confirmed, SPL tokens can be directly transferred from the blacklisted address to the secure wallet.

You can bookmark it yourself if needed, but I hope you never need it.
