Trust Wallet CEO: The browser extension security incident has been confirmed to have affected 2,596 addresses; compensation verification is still underway.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Trust Wallet CEO Eowync.eth posted an update on the security incident involving browser extension v2.68 on the X platform, stating that the team has confirmed that a total of 2,596 wallet addresses were affected. They have received approximately 5,000 compensation claims, many of which are duplicate or invalid submissions attempting to fraudulently claim victim compensation.

The team stated that accurately verifying wallet ownership is currently the core focus of their work, and they are using multiple data cross-validation methods to distinguish between genuine victims and malicious submitters. This verification work is proceeding in parallel with the evidence collection and investigation; some cases have already reached relatively clear conclusions, but the overall process is still ongoing.

Eowync.eth emphasized that the impact of this incident on users has been fully taken seriously, and investigation and compensation are Trust Wallet's highest priorities. The team will prioritize accuracy over speed, and will release further updates as soon as possible, ensuring funds are safely returned to the correct users. An update is expected within the next day.
