The blockchain tracking investigation reveals that Trust Wallet platform users have experienced a large-scale fund theft event, with a total stolen amount of approximately $6.7 million. Even more concerning is that this vulnerability was exploited by hackers two days ago, but no public announcement was made until security researchers disclosed it, which then drew attention.

The flow of stolen funds is also worth vigilance—some funds have been quickly transferred to instant exchange services and nested transfer channels, greatly increasing the difficulty of tracking and freezing the funds. In terms of specific losses, the three most severely affected wallets lost up to $3.5 million, $1.4 million, and $747,000 respectively, with the massive losses in individual wallets reflecting the severity of this incident.

This event once again sounds the alarm—timely disclosure of information directly relates to users' safety prevention window. The time gap between the exploitation of the vulnerability and public disclosure often becomes the golden period for hackers to transfer illicit funds and destroy traces.

It's the same old trick... The vulnerability was only announced after two days, and the hacker had already fled with the money. Isn't this time gap just a gift for the bad guys? This is truly a poisonous mushroom growing in the "garden," and 6.7 million just evaporated like that.

$6.7 million just gone like that, and we only found out after researchers exposed it? Wallet issues really need to be more cautious. No, no notification for two days? This golden window is too outrageous. What's going on with Trust Wallet? How can such things be concealed? A single loss of $3.5 million, that's the real horror. It's the old trick of delayed disclosure again, victims always find out last. This time, we really need to reflect on the responsibility of wallet platforms.

Here we go again, Trust Wallet has another issue. 67 million USD just disappeared, hiding the operation for two days is really impressive. --- Pain, 3.5 million wiped out in a single wallet. That's why I don't dare to keep coins in my wallet. --- Hackers transfer so quickly. Who should we blame? The wallet itself or the exchange's slow response? --- Information asymmetry really is an opportunity to make money. This time, it turned into a chance to get "cut the leeks." --- Looking at security incidents over the past few years, it seems no platform is truly reliable. --- The instant exchange service has been sorted out. The money is basically unrecoverable, and they probably have to compensate users again. --- Why do we always have to wait for researchers to expose vulnerabilities? What is the platform's security team doing? --- A single wallet with 3.5 million gone. How cold-blooded do you have to be to hide it for two days without saying a word? Luckily, I withdrew early. --- Will there be any compensation after this theft, or will they just follow the insurance process again?

No way, 67 million dollars just gone like that? Trust Wallet's concealment this time is a bit ruthless. Damn, it was exploited two days ago and they didn't say anything, the hacker transferred the funds to the farthest place, can't even chase it back. How much must be in the wallet to lose 3.5 million in one go? This guy must have a serious heart attack. That's why I keep the majority of my funds in cold wallets; I really can't trust hot wallets. Information asymmetry kills. It was drained in just two days. Why are these platforms so inactive? Wait, are they deliberately not reporting or are they really slow to react? A bit terrifying upon reflection.

Another joke about a major exchange. Hiding for two days and still having the nerve to call itself a big platform. Trust Wallet? Better to say trust nothing... Really, it's always like this. By the time they disclose, the hackers are gone without a trace. $6.7 million just gone like that. It's outrageous. That's why I still use self-custody wallets. No one can be trusted.
