Recent developments in the crypto world are frequent, and several major events are worth noting.
Trust Wallet's Chrome browser extension has security issues. Specifically, version 2.68 was found to have vulnerabilities. The official has issued an emergency notice, strongly recommending all users to immediately disable this version and upgrade to 2.69. It is important to ensure that the upgrade is done through the official Chrome Web Store link and not from other sources. Fortunately, the mobile version and other types of extensions are currently unaffected.
However, the problem might be more serious than initially thought. Well-known on-chain investigator ZachXBT has received multiple user complaints in the past few hours, stating that their funds were transferred out without authorization. Although the exact cause is still under investigation, these abnormal transfers seem to have occurred around the extension update. Reports suggest that hackers may have successfully extracted various assets such as BTC, ETH, BNB, and others. The number of affected users is still being tallied.
After discussing the security incident, the market is also not very calm. The overall trend in the crypto market is weak, especially as it approaches one of the largest options expiration dates in history. BTC has been fluctuating quite violently around $87,000, even briefly dropping below $87,000 (with prices fluctuating between $86,968 and $87,115). ETH's performance is also not optimistic, falling below the $2,900 mark, currently around $2,896. SOL has dropped below $120. These fluctuations may be related to the upcoming large-scale options contract expirations, and market liquidity and volatility are worth paying attention to.

Oh no, more issues again. Trust Wallet is really incredible.
---
Are hackers going crazy with new listings?
---
I just want to know who got caught this time.
---
87,000 can't hold, feels like it's about to break.
---
Quickly disable 2.68, don't wait for trouble to come knocking.
---
ZachXBT is already collecting complaints; this time it might really blow up.
---
Options expiration + hacker incidents, the crypto world has been a bit crazy this week.
---
The mobile version is fine as long as nothing happens; my funds are still there.
---
BTC's fluctuations are nothing to worry about; the concern is losing funds.
---
Have you upgraded to 2.69 yet? Don't trust links from other sources.
---
SOL has dropped below 120? That's pretty intense.
---
Feels like the whole market is betting on who will blow up.
---
ETH 2896, it's dropping quite sharply.

Here we go again, Trust Wallet had a failure, and the retail investors should take a wave of profits.
---
Damn, funds frozen? That’s exactly why I never trust these wallets.
---
BTC drops below 87, ETH drops below 29, as usual, big funds have already run away, and we’re still here.
---
Options expiration date? Isn’t that just the schedule for the whales to harvest? I’m tired of this routine.
---
Upgrading to 2.69 makes it safe? I don’t believe you, who dares to be the first to try?
---
How many people only saw the notification now? The money was gone long ago.

Trust Wallet is in trouble again? Damn, this time it's really serious.
Holy shit, someone has already been robbed, this is not a small issue.
I told you not to keep your coins in the wallet extension; there's always risk.
BTC has broken below 87,000, it's really over. The options explosion day has arrived.
ETH couldn't hold either; how many people are going to die in this drop?

ngl this trust wallet situation is giving me mining ptsd vibes... back in my mining days we had way fewer attack vectors to worry about, now every extension is basically a honeypot waiting to happen. the fact that people are losing funds mid-update is actually terrifying, like what even is the point of "non-custodial" if the tooling itself is compromised lmao
