#恶意攻击手段 Trust Wallet being hacked has taught us an important lesson—security first, profit second. The $6 million theft is not a small amount, and the attack chain behind it is worth our thorough understanding.

SlowMist's analysis shows that the hackers started their layout on December 8, by controlling developer devices or code repositories to implant backdoors, and successfully infiltrated by the 22nd. They began transferring funds on Christmas Day. What does this indicate? Official legitimate tools can also become hacking tools.

My advice to everyone is: before participating in project interactions, develop a habit—use cold wallets or isolated small test accounts to operate. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, especially for interactions that require wallet authorization. Be extra cautious with browser extensions, regularly check plugin versions, download from official channels, and don’t trust sources of unknown origin.

The core logic of farming airdrops is to maximize gains with minimal costs, but the prerequisite is fund security. This wave of hacker operations reminds us that sometimes the biggest cost is the stolen funds. So before increasing interaction frequency, strengthen your defenses first; only then can you farm safely.
