#链上资产管理 Trust Wallet's recent backdoor attack was extremely stealthy—targeting the source code directly, and during Christmas, they stole over $6 million. After reading the technical analysis from SlowFog, I realized this wasn't just a supply chain contamination or malicious npm package trick, but a genuine APT-level operation. The attackers had long gained developer access, embedded mnemonic theft logic in version 2.68, and cleverly used PostHog to mask data leaks.



Honestly, this incident is a stark reminder for on-chain asset management—no matter how established a wallet is, it can't prevent insider threats. My follow-trade strategies involving multi-chain interactions are already reassessing risk exposure. A safer approach is: store core assets in cold wallets, keep only operational amounts in hot wallets, and have wallet providers rotate verification periodically. If you're using Trust Wallet for fund management with follow-trade accounts, I recommend disconnecting and conducting a thorough security check now, exporting private keys to a secure wallet—don't wait.

These black swan events remind us that every step of on-chain operations must be traceable for risk. There are no completely secure tools—only rational choices made with full awareness of the risks.
