Trust Wallet says 2,596 wallets drained in $7 million crypto theft attack

Trust Wallet's browser extension was compromised by attackers right before Christmas, resulting in the theft of approximately $7 million from 2,596 cryptocurrency wallet addresses. The attack targeted the browser extension specifically, draining funds from nearly 3,000 wallet addresses. This represents a significant supply chain attack against a popular cryptocurrency wallet service. The timing of the attack during the Christmas period suggests deliberate targeting when security teams might have reduced monitoring. The scale of the breach affected thousands of users and resulted in substantial financial losses.
