Trust Wallet Chrome Extension Updated to v2.68.0, Users Report BTC/ETH/BNB Drains

Published at 2025-12-25 23:15:07

Reports emerged shortly after the Trust Wallet Chrome extension was updated to version 2.68.0 that multiple users experienced unauthorized transfers, with victims citing losses in BTC, ETH and BNB. Early coverage emphasized the immediate financial impact, while details about the compromise mechanism and total losses remain fragmented as forensic work continues.

The episode highlights the risk that browser-extension attack vectors pose to non-custodial wallets and the broader DeFi user base. Developers, exchanges and security teams are monitoring addresses and advising caution; users should verify official channels for patches and status updates. If confirmed, the breach could accelerate audits, stricter extension review practices, and renewed calls for improved distribution controls for wallet software.
