#钱包安全漏洞 Recently, Trust Wallet was involved in a $6 million theft incident. I took a close look at SlowMist's analysis — the problem lies in version 2.68 of the browser plugin, which embedded PostHog JS to collect user information. Even more concerning is that the fix version did not completely remove this component.



This reminds me of the "Demonic" vulnerability incident from two years ago, where someone also fell into a trap. Now the issues are becoming more covert: it's not just simple code vulnerabilities, but the backend collecting wallet data without your knowledge.

My recent security strategy is as follows — if your wallet has a problem, never operate online. Export your seed phrase offline and transfer assets before reconnecting, otherwise hackers might steal your assets the moment you open your wallet. Also, once you have backed up your seed phrase, you should transfer your assets out before upgrading; reversing this order poses a high risk.

Another easily overlooked point: most theft cases are not due to plugin vulnerabilities themselves, but because users download counterfeit versions or fall for phishing. Head wallets like MetaMask and Phantom have been targeted, and the Firefox store was compromised at one point. So the rule is simple — only download from the official Chrome Web Store, and block all other sources.

On-chain, longevity means thinking one step ahead of others, especially when it comes to asset security — there’s no room for trial and error.
