Trust Wallet has confirmed a security incident involving its browser extension version 2.68. CEO Eowyn Chen stated that the team has identified 2,596 affected wallet addresses and received approximately 5,000 refund requests, many of which are duplicate or suspected fraudulent applications. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT estimates user losses to be around $7 million. Preliminary findings suggest that the issue involves malicious interactions within the browser extension environment, rather than an intrusion into Trust Wallet's core system or mobile app. The company is verifying legitimate claims and prioritizing the preparation of a comprehensive technical report.
