COINOTAG News confirms that approximately $7 million was affected in the Trust Wallet incident, per an official update. The team has prioritized user support and a streamlined refund process, pledging full restitution to all impacted customers once verification is complete. In addition to refunds, the vulnerability has prompted intensified wallet-security measures and a granular post-incident review to prevent recurrence. Investors and users should monitor official channels for status updates and detailed timelines on reimbursements and remediation.
Affected browser-extension users on v2.68 should act promptly to safeguard assets and move to the patched build. First, avoid launching the extension from desktop to minimize exposure. Then access the Chrome extensions panel using chrome://extensions/?id=egjidjbpglichdcondbcbdnbeeppgdph. If the Trust Wallet switch is enabled, toggle it off. Next, enable Developer Mode, press Update, and verify that the installed version shows 2.69, the secure release. These steps help ensure integrity while the refund workflow proceeds.
