Trust Wallet hundreds of user wallets emptied overnight, millions lost.



Hackers embedded malicious code in the plugin, updated on December 24th, and started harvesting on Christmas Day, December 25th.

You think you're protecting your assets, but actually you're just waiting to be caught.

Among these victims, how many chose Trust Wallet because they believed "decentralization = security"?

As a result, trust was given to others, and wallets were handed over to hackers.

Good news is, CZ has already promised to compensate affected users.

If you used Trust Wallet browser plugin version 2.68, even if you've now updated to 2.69, your seed phrase may have already been leaked. Hurry up and switch wallets to transfer your assets.

Remember not to put all your money in one wallet; large amounts should be stored on hardware wallets or multi-signature setups.
When you see a wallet update prompt, don't rush; wait a few days.
Regularly review DApp permissions; many people unknowingly grant unlimited access to malicious contracts.

When the market is bad, making money is hard. Protect your 💴.
