Trust Wallet's browser extension has released version 2.68 with security patches. According to the project team’s public confirmation, this security incident affected a total of 2,596 wallet addresses. But here’s the issue—the official received approximately 5,000 claim requests, a number far exceeding the actual number of victims. The reason behind this is quite realistic: a large number of false or duplicate submissions were mixed in. This also reflects that after a wallet security incident occurs, there is often fraudulently filed claims for compensation. For users, this serves as an important reminder: while browser extension wallets are convenient, security protection should always come first. Updating to the latest version promptly and regularly checking wallet permissions are basic steps that should not be overlooked.

Browser wallets really can't be lazy. You need to keep up with patches, or you'll just get hacked.
---
I just want to know what those fake applicants are thinking. Do they really believe the official is an easy target?
---
Exactly, convenience is great, but when it comes to security, never rush. Regularly checking permissions is really key.
---
Over 2600 real victims corresponding to 5000 claims? This kind of scam needs to be controlled.
---
Trust Wallet's patch is a classic case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. They only addressed it after the issue, what were they doing before?
---
Browser extension wallets have their downsides—they're easy to get caught in scams. Hardware wallets are more reliable.
---
Half of the applications are fake. This batch of users is really creative!
---
Updating promptly and checking permissions may sound simple, but many people, including myself sometimes, are lazy about it.
---
Both browsers and extensions—does Web3 have a single wallet that you can fully trust?
---
Browser wallets are really convenient, but this makes me think again—cheap things are not good quality.
---
Is that all? Trust Wallet's recent mishap was fixed pretty quickly, but I still don't fully trust browser wallets.
---
Wait, are we talking about someone pretending to be hacked to scam for compensation? That's too outrageous, haha.
---
Version 2.68 should be installed quickly, but honestly, the risks of browser wallets have always been there.
---
There are actually so many scam claims; I told you the Web3 ecosystem has everything.
---
Actually, this issue shouldn't be solely blamed on wallet manufacturers; users' security awareness is the first line of defense.
---
Fake claims with more than double the compensation... this community really has all kinds of people.
---
Still the same point: convenience and security are always at odds. You have to choose one and give up the other.
---
Be cautious with browser wallets. Convenience is fine, but don’t give permissions randomly
---
Here we go again. Every time something happens, a bunch of people come to scold, really annoying
---
That’s why I keep all my money in hardware wallets. Browser plugins are just a burden
---
2596 real victims drowned in 5000 fake applications... It must be so troublesome for the official verification
---
By the way, does anyone really neglect to update such basic operations?
---
The number of scam claims is so high that the official compensation might even have to be discounted
---
Security incidents can really expose human nature as soon as they happen
---
Trust Wallet’s situation is also quite awkward; there aren’t as many fraud claims as victims
---
Fortunately, I stopped using browser wallets long ago. These are just hidden dangers.
---
It’s always like this. The real victims end up being the minority. Laugh out loud.
---
Again, I have to educate users on what timely updates mean. There are a bunch of people who are too lazy.
---
Trust Wallet is probably socially dead this time, its reputation has taken a hit.
---
Out of 5000 claim submissions, only 2596 addresses, the ratio is ridiculously off. Is someone trying to over-report for one address?
---
Expanding wallets is convenient, but this time they caused trouble again... Better to just honestly use a hardware wallet.
---
The key is, some people really do try to scam compensation. I just can't understand what they're thinking.
---
It's always security patches and claims. When will these days finally settle down?
