#钱包安全风险与防护 Trust Wallet has exploded again, losing $6 million this time, and this is really no small matter. The browser plugin for version 2.68 has a vulnerability, causing hundreds of users to be exploited directly, with millions of dollars evaporating in an instant. The scale is a bit frightening.

However, upon closer inspection, the true culprits are not entirely the plugin itself. Mainstream wallets like MetaMask and Phantom have had few official vulnerabilities in recent years, and most of the thefts are actually caused by counterfeit software and phishing attacks. The wave of fake applications in the Firefox store was a concentrated outbreak, and that is the real culprit behind the "scalping."

So the current situation is this: official plugins may have vulnerabilities, but the probability is not very high. Instead, those fake clone versions are the real killers. The core of security protection is simple: only download from the Chrome Web Store, and all other channels are traps.

The security of wallets in the crypto space really needs to be properly regulated. With such a large user base, once an incident occurs, it results in widespread losses. If these events happen frequently, who will still trust non-custodial wallets?
