🛡 Vulnerability found in Trust Wallet extension, $170,000 stolen

in trustwallet •  2 years ago 

In November 2022, a security researcher reported that there was a vulnerability in the Trust Wallet browser extension. Addresses created between November 14 and 23 were affected by this vulnerability. It was quickly fixed, and all addresses created after November 23rd are safe.

💸 But two exploits were discovered that led to losses of about $ 170,000. Trust Wallet promised to reimburse the losses. And users who created addresses between November 14 and 23, 2022 are advised to transfer crypto assets to other secure addresses.

If you are in doubt whether you are vulnerable or not, just open the browser extension. If your wallet is vulnerable, you will see a notification.
