Trust Wallet has confirmed a serious security breach affecting version 2.68 of its browser extension, which hackers exploited to drain funds from hundreds of users’ wallets across Bitcoin, Solana, and EVM networks. Initial on-chain analysis showed losses exceeding $6 million, with total impact around $7 million. Users are urged to disable the compromised extension and upgrade to version 2.69 immediately. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said Trust Wallet will cover the losses and that user funds are SAFU while the investigation continues.
