#私钥与助记词被盗 Trust Wallet 2.68 version's backdoor incident left me a bit scared. Over $6 million was directly lost, and it was through stealing the mnemonic at the code level — this isn't an ordinary vulnerability; it's the work of a professional APT team.
After carefully reviewing SlowMist's technical analysis, I learned that the attacker captured the mnemonic the moment you unlocked the wallet, then diverted the data by forging the domain api.metrics-trustwallet[.]com. This tells me a harsh reality: even the biggest wallet projects can collapse at the supply chain level.
For copy traders, this incident has given me a lot of inspiration:
**First level of reflection** — Fund security always comes first. I used to focus more on account operation risks and didn't pay enough attention to wallet-side risks. Now I realize that no matter how good your stop-loss is, if the private key is stolen, there's nothing you can do afterward.
**Second level of practical adjustment** — If you're like me and follow multiple chains, it's best to isolate large funds with hardware wallets, and only use browser extensions for small transactions. This way, even if something goes wrong, the losses are within controllable limits. Also, develop the habit of regularly checking your wallet version, and respond immediately to any security alerts.
**Third level of strategic thinking** — Some traders have very aggressive styles, frequently cross-chain transferring and participating in new projects. When trading with such people, I now prefer to diversify risk by splitting funds across multiple wallets — better to spread risk than to put all your assets in one account.
Disconnecting from the internet, exporting private keys, transferring funds — these operational procedures must be second nature. Practice makes perfect, and sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the pitfalls others have stepped into.
