I’ve been following the recent Trust Wallet hack news closely, and honestly this feels like a real wake-up call for every crypto user.
This wasn’t about market moves or bad trades. It was a security issue where a compromised browser extension exposed some users’ seed phrases, and funds were drained within minutes.
The key point is that this was not the mobile app. The problem was limited to a specific browser extension version, which has now been fixed. Still, the damage shows how risky hot wallets can be if basic precautions are ignored.
I’m not trying to spread fear. I’m just saying incidents like this remind us that wallet security matters more than profits.
If possible, a hardware wallet is the safest option for long-term holdings. And if you don’t have one, at least don’t keep all your assets in a single wallet. Splitting funds across multiple wallets can reduce risk a lot.
What’s your move after this incident? Are you changing your wallet strategy, or still comfortable keeping everything in one wallet?
