#钱包安全事件 Seeing the $7 million vulnerability incident in Trust Wallet this time, I was reminded of the tragic Mt.Gox incident in 2014. At that time, 850,000 Bitcoins were lost just like that, causing a震动 throughout the industry. Ten years have passed, and wallet security issues still linger.

The difference is that this time, there is at least a compensation promise. Trust Wallet's official statement clearly commits to compensating all victims, something that was unimaginable back then. From Mt.Gox's complete silence to the current proactive claim process, you can see the ecosystem is growing — albeit at a heavy cost.

But the fundamental problem reflected by this incident remains unchanged: lightweight wallet tools like browser extensions always face the contradiction between convenience and security. The vulnerability in version 2.68 is not a technical capability issue but a choice made between rapid iteration and strict auditing. Every such incident repeatedly educates new users — the convenience of self-custody comes with a price of vigilance.

Affected users now need to follow the official steps to immediately upgrade to version 2.69 and then submit a claim. History has shown us that such compensation processes often take a long time, but having a traceable process is better than nothing. The most crucial point is that this incident will become an important reference for wallet choices in the next market cycle — products with good security records will gain more trust. This survival-of-the-fittest logic is actually good news for the entire industry.
