Trust Wallet recently experienced a security incident where attackers collected user information through malicious code. Security experts recommend affected users disconnect from the internet, transfer their assets, and upgrade their wallet after the transfer. The official patched version still contains risky code, and users should check their wallet version as soon as possible to ensure safety.

【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.

My goodness, it's Trust Wallet again... The process of offline asset transfer sounds so complicated. --- Wait, does the official patched version still contain PostHog code? Isn't that just closing the stable door after the horse has bolted? --- Disconnecting from the internet before transferring the mnemonic sounds so troublesome, but thinking about the consequences of being hacked... better to follow the proper procedure. --- If the PostHog JS isn't fully cleaned out, upgrading the version is pointless. Are they trying to drive us crazy? --- Looks like I need to quickly transfer everything out of the wallet. So frustrating. --- It's a bit outrageous. Even with security vulnerabilities like this, the official team is still patching. Might as well just switch wallets. --- The order can't be reversed. They say it so seriously. By the way, does anyone really do things backwards? --- This time, I really can't hold it anymore. Gotta go through the process of messing with my wallet all over again.

Damn, is Trust Wallet having issues again? The offline transfer process sounds easy but is hard to implement. --- PostHog JS isn't deleted yet? Is this the fix version? Can't trust it. --- I'm done for. Who can still trust wallet security? --- I'm so anxious. I need to transfer my mnemonic phrase quickly, and the order must not be reversed. --- The official team really dropped the ball this time. The fix version still has backdoors. --- Feels like this happens every time—after fixing, there are still issues. --- It has to be done offline; just open online and wait to be exploited. --- It's a bit crazy. Attackers are so familiar with the source code—internal issues? --- Damn, I have to redo the transfer. Wallet ecosystem is too competitive. --- This time I really need to pay attention. Don't ask me how I know.

Here we go again, Trust Wallet is causing trouble again. If you still can't get the offline asset transfer process right, it's over. --- Haven't deleted the PostHog code completely? The official is just teasing us. --- I just want to know why big wallets always have issues, while small wallets are fine. --- The offline transfer trick is really brilliant, but the problem is I have no idea if I'm using an affected version. --- Alright, time to back up the seed phrase again. When will this day end? --- Attackers are so familiar with the source code. Do you believe this wasn't an inside job? --- Now I can't even trust my wallet. Should I cry or laugh?

Damn, Trust Wallet is causing trouble again? The process of transferring assets offline sounds really exciting. Still using PostHog in the fixed version? Isn't that just closing your eyes and fooling yourself? I've said it before, exchange wallets can't be trusted. Self-management is the way to go.

Damn, Trust Wallet is having issues again? Remember to keep this offline transfer process in mind... --- The official patched version still has PostHog, isn't that implying something? --- Transfer assets first before upgrading; if the order is reversed, it's game over. Who designed such a tricky process? --- The attacker knows the source code this well... Insider? Or is the defense really that weak? --- PostHog hasn't been deleted, which is outrageous. What's the point of fixing it? --- Having to tinker with the wallet again; these days, holding tokens also means learning operations... --- Go offline quickly, this wave is a bit fierce. --- The problem is, even after fixing, data is still being collected? What's the point of fixing that? --- Reversing the order and going all-in—this warning is quite harsh.

Damn, here we go again. Trust Wallet has another issue? My goodness, how many times has this happened? I'm really exhausted. --- Disconnecting from the internet to transfer assets... that's just ridiculous. If a newbie saw this, they'd be completely confused. I think it still needs to be explained step by step. --- The fix version still has PostHog? Isn't that like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted? What does the official really mean? --- By the way, do you still dare to use Trust Wallet now? It feels like the risk is getting bigger and bigger. --- The attacker has thoroughly examined the source code... the smell of an insider is getting stronger. What do you think? --- The order can't be reversed, that's a good reminder. But if the order is messed up and assets are lost, who will compensate?
