Trust Wallet had a scare, but not a disaster.
Browser version 2.68 had a confirmed vulnerability, others were safe. Losses hit $7M, users will be refunded, and updates are the key.
This is one of those moments where crypto reminds you it’s still a wild sea 🌊
The team at Trust Wallet confirmed a vulnerability only on the browser extension v2.68. Mobile apps, other versions — clean. No drama there.
Important detail that many people underestimate: don’t even open the vulnerable version before updating. Not “just to check”. Not “for one minute”. Update first, then breathe. Simple.
What reassures me is the response. Fast acknowledgment, clear steps, no hiding behind PR fog. And then Changpeng Zhao comes in confirming around $7 million in user losses — fully reimbursed. That matters. In crypto, trust isn’t about never failing, it’s about how you react when things go wrong.
If you’re using a wallet daily, this is your reminder: updates are not optional, they’re survival tools. Self-custody gives freedom, but it also asks for discipline. C’est pas la fête tous les jours, but that’s the game.
Stay sharp, update your tools, and don’t panic — just move smart 🧠✨
