#钱包安全事件 I saw news about wallets being hacked again. This time, the Trust Wallet incident reminded me that many people have no idea what they are actually using. Injected data collection scripts, continuous information theft—attackers have long mastered the wallet's source code logic. This is not a low-probability event; it’s a systemic vulnerability.
The key point highlighted by SlowMist’s reminder hits the core: disconnect from the internet before transferring assets. This seemingly simple step can mitigate 99% of online theft risks. Many people find it troublesome and think about upgrading their wallet first, only to be instantly compromised. I’ve seen too many cases like this—assets still in the wallet, but malicious scripts running in the background. Upgrading or not makes no difference.
So, the current response strategy is very clear: First, export the mnemonic offline and disconnect from the internet; second, transfer assets to a secure environment; third, consider upgrading or abandoning the old wallet. Do not trust any claims that “it’s safe after fixing”—SlowMist has verified that new versions still contain malicious code.
Those who stay active on the chain understand one truth: wallet security is not a small matter; it’s the first line of defense. Being hacked once or twice can be recovered from, but if the private key is stolen, it’s truly gone. This is not alarmism but a painful lesson from experienced users.
