⚠️ Trust Wallet moved to strict verification after the breach — but thousands of claims turned out to be false or duplicated 👀
🧩 The team confirmed that a malicious browser extension update (v2.68) affected 2,596 addresses.
📨 Around 5,000 compensation claims were submitted — many of them invalid or fraudulent.
🔍 Verification is now a critical step to ensure refunds go only to real victims.
🚫 Opening a claim form and clicking “submit” is not enough.
A wave of false requests is slowing down the process for users who actually lost funds.
This isn’t just another “wallet got hacked” story — it’s a reminder that responsibility and proof matter.
📌 Market takeaway:
When large platforms launch compensation programs, they attract not only victims but also opportunists.
The market keeps proving one thing: security, verification, and accountability matter more than headlines.
