#钱包安全漏洞 Trust Wallet 2.68 version this wave of backdoor incident clearly shows that the attacker is professional. $6 million was stolen, with the largest single loss of $3.5 million. This is not just a simple vulnerability exploit but an APT attack that started preparations as early as December 8—controlling development permissions, implanting malicious code, and transferring assets starting on Christmas Day. The entire chain is disturbingly transparent.

From a risk management perspective, the lesson for us is: even the most well-known products can become sources of risk. I have always emphasized the importance of diversification strategies—assets should not be stored in a single wallet or a single product. In the event of such emergencies, those with diversified holdings can limit losses, while those who go all-in will only suffer.

Key practical advice: immediately review your asset allocation. If you have used Trust Wallet extensions, the first step is to disconnect from the internet for troubleshooting, the second step is to export your private keys and switch wallets immediately, and the third step is to transfer your funds. This is not excessive caution but a professional must-do. The hacker took nearly three weeks from gaining access to completing the theft, indicating that our defense barriers might be more fragile than we think.

Another detail worth noting—over $4 million of the stolen assets have been transferred to CEX, which means some funds might still be recoverable, but the window of opportunity won't be long. In real transactions, the speed of responding to unexpected risks often determines the maximum loss. The lesson from this incident is: being cautious is never too much.
