26th December 2025 – A confirmed Trust Wallet security incident has rattled crypto users. Reports first surfaced when users noticed their funds disappearing within minutes. Soon after, warnings spread across social media. Then Trust Wallet stepped in and confirmed the issue.
Trust Wallet identified the issue inside its browser extension. Specifically, version 2.68 contains the vulnerability. The team urged affected users to immediately disable it and install version 2.69 from the official Chrome Web Store.
Mobile users and people running other extension versions remain unaffected. However, uncertainty still hangs over the situation because Trust Wallet has not yet explained how the exploit works or how long attackers may have had access.
As a result, many users continue to feel uneasy.
The first warnings came from the community. On-chain analysts noticed suspicious outflows from multiple wallets. Victims shared screenshots showing unauthorized withdrawals. Transaction logs showed automated drains instead of manual transfers.
Soon, ZachXBT began collecting affected wallet addresses. He encouraged users to come forward so investigators could map the pattern.

I didn't want to post this. I've been staring at this screen for 3 hours. I was coming back from Christmas with my family. Excited to check the markets, maybe catch some opportunities on this year-end dip. Instead, I opened my wallet to find +$300,000 gone. The Trust Wallet https://t.co/po2BSF96XZ

Because of this, panic spread quickly, and users scrambled to protect remaining funds.
Trust Wallet’s incident is reviving an old debate. Browser wallets offer convenience, but they also sit closer to risk. Extensions can interact with websites, scripts, and automatic updates. If something goes wrong, attackers gain leverage fast.
Over recent months, researchers have already documented fake extensions, malicious updates, and stealth scripts that manipulate transactions. Therefore, even a limited exploit can shake confidence across the ecosystem.
For many everyday users, it becomes hard to separate isolated bugs from broader platform weakness.
Security-focused users are urging others to act cautiously:
Some mobile users are moving funds too, even though Trust Wallet insists they are safe. Trust takes time to rebuild, and people do not want to take chances.
Trust Wallet says its team is working actively on the issue and plans to release detailed updates. That includes clarification on the exploit path and the number of impacted users.
Until then, the community remains cautious. A popular wallet now faces scrutiny, and the final impact will depend on how quickly the team closes gaps and communicates clearly.
For now, users watch closely and move carefully.
