Trust Wallet Browser Extension Version 2.68 exposes a serious security vulnerability—hackers successfully implanted malicious code, leading to the theft of mnemonics from a large number of users.



According to current statistics, hundreds of wallets have been attacked, with user losses reaching approximately $7 million. This incident has sparked widespread attention and discussion in the English-speaking community, with affected users mainly concentrated overseas.

Good news is that the founder of a major exchange has publicly promised to compensate users who suffered losses due to this vulnerability. This move undoubtedly reassures victims. However, it also reminds us to be cautious when using browser extension wallets, regularly check for updates, and ensure the security of our assets.

7 million USD lost? Trust Wallet really let us down this time Hackers embedded malicious code and stole seed phrases, it's outrageous. Fortunately, exchange brothers are willing to compensate, or else these victims would be crying their eyes out Forget it, self-managed wallets are more reliable; browser extensions are too risky

7 million dollars just gone like that? Oh my... Luckily, I've always used hardware wallets. Browser plugins are really a security black hole. This compensation promise is truly a lifesaver, otherwise those victims would be crying their eyes out.

7 million dollars just gone? This is called a reverse free ride, brothers, don't go all-in on browser wallets. This thing is really the fastest tool for cutting leeks.
