#钱包安全威胁 Seeing Trust Wallet once again exposed to security vulnerabilities, with $6 million stolen, feels quite heavy. But after calming down and reflecting, this incident actually reveals an important truth—the real threat to plugin wallets often doesn't come from official code vulnerabilities itself, but from counterfeit software and phishing attacks.



The data speaks volumes: mainstream wallets like MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, etc., are frequently troubled by fake extension programs, which are the main culprits behind user fund losses. In contrast, official vulnerabilities are actually quite rare. This reminds us that the essence of Web3's self-custody model is to entrust security responsibilities to users—this is the cost of decentralization and also its strength.

So the real solution is actually very simple: **Only download from official channels**. The Chrome Web Store and official websites are enough. Securing this critical step of wallet safety allows us to explore the exciting Web3 ecosystems like DeFi and NFTs with more peace of mind.

Security is not about restricting freedom, but about protecting it. Once we all master the methods of self-protection, the decentralized future can move forward more steadily.
