The Trust Wallet browser extension version 2.68 was compromised between December 24 and 25, 2025, resulting in substantial asset losses. The breach impacted Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, with community alert from ZachXBT reporting hundreds of affected wallets. CZ confirmed users’ losses would be compensated.

2025 Crypto Hacks Total $3.14 Billion Reveal Vulnerability Trends

Did you know? The recent Trust Wallet attack represents a part of a larger trend in 2025, where crypto hacks totaled approximately $3.14 billion, underscoring a rising threat landscape in digital finance.
