Crypto fam, imagine waking up on Christmas to find your wallet drained... 😱 That's exactly what happened to hundreds of Trust Wallet users in late December 2025!
A sneaky supply-chain attack hit the Chrome browser extension (version 2.68 only). Hackers slipped malicious code into an update released on Dec 24, stealing seed phrases and snatching ~$7 million in BTC, ETH, SOL, and more. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT sounded the alarm first, and firms like SlowMist/PeckShield confirmed: it was pro-level – likely via a leaked Chrome Web Store API key.
Good news? Mobile apps were safe, and Trust Wallet + Binance boss CZ jumped in fast: "User funds are SAFU!" 💪 They patched to v2.69 immediately and launched a full compensation process – 100% refunds for verified victims via official form (trustwallet-support.freshdesk.com). As of Dec 28, claims are rolling in, with manual reviews to keep it secure.
This hack joins 2025's wild ride of crypto thefts topping $3B+ – a wake-up call on browser extension risks!
Pro Tip: For serious holdings, level up to a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Your keys stay offline – no hacks! 🛡️ Never import seeds into browsers, and always update from official sources.
