【Blockchain Movement】On December 26th, industry security experts issued an emergency warning on social media platforms. It is reported that Trust Wallet recently experienced a serious security incident, where attackers embedded malicious code (PostHog JS) to collect users' wallet information.

In response, the security team provided clear user protection guidelines:

Users using affected versions must follow these steps: first disconnect from the internet, then export the mnemonic phrase to transfer assets. Opening the wallet online directly poses a risk of theft. Users who have backed up their mnemonic phrases must first complete asset transfer before upgrading the wallet. The order must not be reversed.

Technical issues are equally serious: attackers clearly have a deep understanding of the wallet's extension source code. Even more concerning is that the official released fix still retains the PostHog JS code, which means the risk of collecting user data still exists. This detail has raised industry doubts about the thoroughness of the fix.

Currently, all users are advised to check their wallet versions as soon as possible and not delay. Asset security is no small matter.
