The browser wallet extension was recently exposed to a serious security vulnerability. Version 2.68 of Trust Wallet has a flaw that led to hundreds of wallets being attacked, with users losing approximately $7 million in total. This incident has a significant impact, and many people were affected.

The good news is that the official did not shift blame. Trust Wallet has initiated a compensation process, and affected users can submit a claim for reimbursement. How exactly to proceed? Log in to the Trust Wallet official support portal and fill out the claim form. The information required includes: registered email, country or region, the address of the compromised wallet, the attacker’s receiving address, and relevant transaction hashes.

After submitting the materials, Trust Wallet promises to compensate all affected users. If your wallet was compromised in this vulnerability, act quickly and submit your claim.

$7 million lost, this wave of Trust Wallet is still considerate, at least they didn't default on their promises. --- I wish I hadn't upgraded earlier, but who knew... now we can only bet on the official fulfilling their promises. --- The claim process is so complicated, requiring so much information... is it safe? --- Many people have been affected. Have any of you received compensation yet? --- Whether Trust Wallet can fully compensate this time is a question. --- I'm still using version 2.68, I need to check my wallet quickly. --- The good news is that the official didn't shift blame; the bad news is that hundreds of wallets are already gone. --- Hurry up and submit your application. If you delay too long, they might change their mind. --- Why do these things always happen with browser wallets?

This time it's really outrageous, 7 million USD just gone like that. Luckily, Trust didn't pass the buck. Hurry up and submit your claim, don't dawdle. If you wait too long, you'll be waiting in line until the end of time. Do you believe the official compensation? Anyway, I remain skeptical. It's another browser wallet and vulnerability, but hardware wallets are still reliable. I just want to know how this was exposed. Could it be another security audit failure?

7 million dollars just gone like that? This wave of Trust Wallet still considers itself honorable, at least offering compensation... But all the paperwork for the claim is really annoying. Friends who got affected should quickly submit their applications; if they’re late, they might be in line. Why is it always the browser wallet having issues? Hardware wallets are really the way to go. I heard someone lost thousands of yuan directly; this matter is really alarming. Trustworthiness is plummeting; will people still dare to use these extensions in the future? Why is the compensation process so complicated? Can't it be done with just one click? Luckily, I didn't use that version; cold sweat. The official attitude is pretty good; at least they didn't shirk responsibility. That’s worth praising. This is really a big scandal; everyone in the community is talking about it. Who still remembers the last MetaMask issue? These wallets are really one trap after another.

7 million dollars gone? Damn, Trust Wallet really had an incident this time. Luckily, the official didn't pass the buck and went straight to compensation. Old friends affected, hurry up and submit your claims, don't delay. Version 2.68 is a scam, it should have been updated long ago. Trust Wallet can hold up this time, at least their attitude is okay, much better than some project teams running away. Waiting for the compensation to arrive feels like a distant dream... how long will this review process take? Such a big vulnerability, how did no one find it before? What about code review? I'm anxious too, I need to check if there's any issue with my wallet.

Hurry up and apply, 7 million USD just disappeared like that. Trust Wallet was quite straightforward this time. --- Here we go again, having to expose the private key to prove theft. So troublesome. --- The group from version 2.68 should be compensated. This time, the official didn't shift the blame, which is quite considerate. --- I just want to know how the attacker bypassed the security audit. --- I still don't trust storing funds in a wallet; cold wallets are the way to go. --- How long does it take to get compensation after submitting an application? I heard some people waited three months. --- This is why I never use browser wallets. --- Losing 7 million and still being fully compensated—that's a lot of money spent. --- I have to change my password again. This is really getting annoying. --- Trust Wallet's reputation has dropped again this time. Luckily, they didn't run away.

$7,000,000 lost. Trust Wallet's recent actions are finally somewhat decent, but the claim process is so complicated it's really annoying. Should have switched wallets a long time ago. Who would still dare to use that version? Is this for real? The official compensation? That's quite rare in the crypto world. It's so urgent, hurry up and submit the documents, or else you'll really lose everything. Fortunately, I found out early, or else this $7,000,000 would have been lost for nothing. This has been a lesson learned; in the future, I need to back up multiple wallets. I always said browser wallets are risky. Luckily, we didn't put all our eggs in one basket.
