Abstract generation in progress

【CryptoWorld】Trust Wallet’s official team has recently taken new actions. The investigation into the security incident involving the browser extension is still ongoing, and Google has already updated the ticket status. Everyone should be able to see the review logs in the Chrome Web Store soon. Meanwhile, devices used for remote work are on their way to the security team for more in-depth inspections.

The current situation is as follows: the extension has upgraded its detection capabilities. If it detects that a wallet on your device has been compromised, it will immediately alert you with a prompt. Users seeing this banner are advised not to hesitate—migrate immediately to a new wallet and completely abandon the old one to prevent further exploitation. If you do not see the banner, it means your device is safe, so no need to worry.

However, compensation is indeed a bit complicated. The biggest challenge for the official team now is how to deliver the compensation to the genuine victims while filtering out scammers and hackers—this is a technical task. As a result, processing requests takes longer than many users expect. They are working on optimizing tools, improving procedures, and developing new extension features to enhance accuracy.

Data shows that they have received over 2,630 claims and reimbursement reports, more than ten times the usual volume of support tickets. The claimed amounts range from $1.05 million to $3.5 million. The customer support team’s workload is substantial, but they are working tirelessly to accelerate processing and are also recruiting more staff.

Seeing the banner, run quickly, or you'll really lose everything --- Are you verifying evidence again? Can this be reliable this time? It always feels like patching things up --- 2630 claims... How long will this compensation last? The real victims will get their money eventually --- Do I still need to check the equipment myself to feel at ease? Trust level is dropping straight down --- Talking about migrating to a new wallet is easy, but the actual operation is really a nightmare --- Hacker pretending to be a victim inside is brilliant; the official needs to seriously screen this time --- Already been exploited once, now I have to be cautious and check the banner, ridiculous --- Google upgrade work order status... Does this mean it hasn't been touched before? --- Instead of waiting for compensation, it's better to switch wallets early and be at ease. Don't rely on these processes

Seeing the banner directly migrating, don't hesitate... 2630 claims is a lot, is the official really playing big? But honestly, it's really hard to tell apart genuine victims from those pretending to be pitiful. I've been saying that Trust Wallet should have been messed up like this a long time ago, now it's too late to regret. This move by the official is quite fast, let's see how the Chrome review goes. Claims and wallet migrations again, the group has been full of complaints these two weeks. The upgrade of the detection feature is okay, but can it be trusted? I'm a bit skeptical. Users who don't see the banner are secretly happy; this time, they really dodged a bullet.

Just by looking at the banner, you can instantly tell if your wallet is compromised. This operation is quite interesting. How to distinguish genuine victims from fake ones for compensation? This is indeed a tough problem. While preventing exploitation, we also need to guard against scams. Trust Wallet is really serious this time, upgrading recognition features and checking devices. But to be honest, with over two thousand claims, verifying each one individually is a huge task for the officials. Brothers who didn't see the banner can consider it a pass. Just go ahead and get a good sleep.

Seeing the banner, just run and change wallets directly, don't dawdle anymore --- Another round of compensation and investigation, how long will this drag on? --- Trust Wallet really went viral this time, feels like it’s been half a year and still can't recover --- I just want to know how many of the 2630 claims are from genuine victims lol --- We should have stopped using the extension long ago, this thing is inherently unsafe --- The officials are filtering out scammers, I just smile, and maybe the real victims won't get their compensation --- Transferring wallets is really annoying, but there's no other way, safety first --- After this incident, can Trust Wallet make a comeback? Feels uncertain --- I felt relieved when I didn't see the banner, but I still don't trust this extension much --- Once the compensation plan is announced, I want to see how the official will present it

Seeing the banner, gotta run, this time it's not a joke --- Here we go again, feels like compensation is always on the way --- 2630 claims? Gotta wait in line until the Year of the Monkey --- Wallet was drained for so long, still under investigation, I'm really fed up --- I've done this migration to a new wallet before, just waiting for the compensation to arrive --- Honestly, it's still unavoidable, trusting more doesn't help --- Hackers mingling among victims to get compensation, the official difficulty is indeed high --- Chrome Web Store review logs? Feels like nothing has changed --- Dare not open Trust Wallet notifications anymore, afraid it's bad news again

Here are several comments with different styles: **Comment 1:** Another wallet disaster scene, this time there's some progress, but the compensation issue will probably be dragged out for a while. **Comment 2:** You run just because you see a banner? That logic isn't wrong, but it depends on someone actually receiving it. **Comment 3:** Why is it always Trust Wallet again? I'm really fed up. Now I don't even dare to install the extension. **Comment 4:** Is the official really investigating or just putting on a show? Over two thousand claims, they'll settle whatever they can. **Comment 5:** I find it hard to believe in filtering out scammers and hackers, but the excuses for delaying payouts are all too familiar. **Comment 6:** Am I lucky for not seeing the prompt, or have I been completely robbed without any warning? **Comment 7:** Migrating to a new wallet is fine, but what about the coins in the old wallet? No one seems to mention that. **Comment 8:** The compensation issue is just code; to put it bluntly, they just want to drag it out until everyone forgets.
