#钱包安全漏洞 Trust Wallet browser extension exposes security vulnerabilities, and $6 million was lost just like that. My first reaction when I saw this news was—here we go again.

Over the years, I’ve seen too many stories of wallets being hacked. The key point is that most people simply can’t tell whether the problem lies with the wallet itself or with their own operations. This time with Trust Wallet is quite typical: the official vulnerability exists, but what really should alert us are the fake extensions and phishing attacks—that’s the real issue.

It’s said that cases of MetaMask and Phantom being impersonated are becoming more frequent, especially on the Firefox Add-ons store. My straightforward advice: **Only download from the official Chrome Web Store; avoid all other sources**. Wallets found on shady websites, forums, or even some unknown app stores are 100% scams.

There’s also a detail worth noting—Phantom users lost $500,000 because their private keys were stored in memory and hacked. What does this tell us? Non-custodial wallets do shift some risk onto users, but it also means you need to be vigilant. It’s not that wallets are unsafe and you shouldn’t use them, but you must learn how to use them properly to avoid issues.

The secret to surviving long on the chain is: don’t be greedy—avoid downloading unknown sources, don’t click on unfamiliar links, and regularly check your wallet permissions. Master these basics, and the chances of being hacked will be greatly reduced.
