#钱包安全漏洞 Seeing this Trust Wallet incident immediately brings to mind the scenes of exchange hacks in 2018. Back then, Binance was drained of 7,000 Bitcoins, and everyone thought that the security defenses of exchanges had reached the industry’s ceiling. But what happened? Similar vulnerabilities have continued to recur over the years.

This time, SlowMist pointed out that the developer’s device and code repository were compromised, indicating that the attack had broken through the application layer and directly infiltrated the supply chain. The loss of over $6 million may not seem astronomical, but the issue isn’t the amount—it’s what this exposure reveals.

Remember the Ledger firmware leak in 2020? That lesson prompted the entire industry to reflect on supply chain security. Yet, to this day, we still see similar breaches repeatedly occurring. Protecting developer devices, managing permissions for code repositories, auditing CI/CD processes—these seemingly basic measures are actually the easiest to overlook.

What’s truly worth pondering is that every major wallet security incident drives user behavior shifts. Those who experienced the 2017 bubble burst and are still here have long adopted habits of asset diversification and cold storage. But newcomers often have to pay tuition with real money to understand this principle.

This Trust Wallet incident, to some extent, reaffirms an old but true piece of advice: no matter how famous the product team is, your asset security is always your own responsibility.
