Here we go again? Trust Wallet really pulled out this time, and 8.5 million is gone just like that.

Compensation process? It looks like a joke to me. We'll be waiting for compensation until the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse.

Here we go again, can Trust Wallet also be hacked? It seems that big wallets are not very secure.

---

$8.5 million was lost directly. How many people’s mental state must have collapsed... Is the official compensation reliable?

---

You still have to keep your private keys yourself. These custodial wallets are really untrustworthy.

---

Will the compensation process be another slow and dragging operation...

---

No wonder some people still use hardware wallets; it’s not without reason.

---

How many people will learn a lesson from this explosion? They’re all the same.

---

Trust’s own vulnerabilities, you say about other wallets? It’s all a matter of time.

---

It should have been alert enough earlier, but most people still prioritize convenience.

---

2520 wallets... How long will it take to settle this matter?

$8.5 million is gone just like that. Luckily, Trust Wallet dares to compensate, or else I would really be crying my eyes out.

Reliable wallets should all learn from this compensation mechanism, otherwise they're no different from paper wallets.

8.5 million dollars just gone, and I still have to rely on official goodwill compensation... I wonder if this wallet is still usable.
