Trust Wallet Browser Plugin v2.68 suffers supply chain attack, resulting in approximately $8.5 million in losses

GateNews

Foresight News reports that Trust Wallet announced that its browser plugin version 2.68 was uploaded to the Chrome Web Store by an attacker without internal approval and embedded with malicious code, which can execute transactions outside user authorization and steal wallet data. The incident has been confirmed to affect 2,520 wallet addresses, with total losses of approximately $8.5 million. Preliminary investigations indicate that this attack is related to the industry-scale supply chain incident Sha1-Hulud that occurred in November. Currently, Trust Wallet has rolled back the plugin to a safe version 2.69 and has initiated a compensation process for affected users.
