Trust Wallet Chrome Extension Compromised in $7 Million Crypto Heist

Trust Wallet has issued an urgent security alert after its Chrome browser extension was compromised, leading to a $7 million crypto theft. The breach targeted version 2.68 of the extension, impacting nearly 3,000 wallets worldwide.

⚠️ Who Is Affected?

• Users running Chrome Extension v2.68
• PC/Laptop browser users (NOT mobile app)
• Wallets with stored mnemonic seed data

Trust Wallet confirms the issue has NOT affected the official Android/iOS apps.

This enabled attackers to drain wallets without user authorization.

2. Clear browser cache and storage access
3. Install new version (2.69+) ONLY from official store
