TRUST WALLET HACK: $7M STOLEN: HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A corrupted Chrome extension update has drained millions from Trust Wallet users.

What Happened:
On December 24, Trust Wallet released version 2.68 of its Chrome browser extension. Hidden inside was malicious code disguised as an analytics module.

When users opened their wallet or imported seed phrases, the code silently captured and transmitted that data to a fake domain (metrics-trustwallet.com) registered just days before the attack.
With access to seed phrases, hackers didn't need any approvals, They simply restored wallets elsewhere and drained everything.

The Damage:
🔹 Over $7 million stolen
🔹 Hundreds of wallets affected
🔹 Funds taken across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain
🔹 Some users lost six figures in minutes
🔹 Stolen funds sent to ChangeNOW, FixedFloat, KuCoin, and HTX

CZ's Response:
#Binance founder Changpeng Zhao confirmed Trust Wallet will fully reimburse all affected users:
"So far, $7m affected by this hack. Trust Wallet will cover. User funds are SAFU."

He also mentioned the team is investigating how hackers were able to submit the malicious update, suggesting a possible insider involvement.

What You Should Do:
→ If you use Trust Wallet browser extension, check your version immediately
→ Avoid version 2.68 completely
→ Update to version 2.69 from the official Chrome Web Store only
→ If you used v2.68 and entered your seed phrase, move funds to a new wallet immediately

This Hack highlights the risks of browser-based wallets. Unlike smart contract exploits, wallet-level attacks give hackers direct access to your keys, No transaction approvals needed.

In 2025 alone, hackers have stolen over $3.4 billion in crypto. Stay vigilant.

Stay safe. Verify everything. Never share your seed phrase.
