Trust Wallet has issued a renewed warning to users affected by a security incident tied to its Browser Extension version 2.68, urging them to permanently stop using compromised wallets and move funds immediately. The company said wallets exposed during the incident should no longer be used under any circumstances, even if they currently hold no assets.
Trust Wallet: First Batch of Compensation Completed
The incident occurred between December 24 and December 26, 2025, during a narrow window when users logged into the Trust Wallet Browser Extension version 2.68. According to Trust Wallet, only those users who opened and accessed the extension during this period were affected. Mobile app users and browser extension users on other versions were not impacted.
In an update shared publicly, Trust Wallet confirmed that it has completed the first batch of reimbursements for eligible users. Remaining claims are still under review and are being processed in stages. The company said it has so far received claims representing roughly 95 percent of the affected funds. The firm assured a compensation deadline of 30 days from February 14, 2026, for any remaining users to submit reimbursement requests.
The scale of the incident has become clearer over time. Primary findings suggest that approximately $8.5 million worth of crypto assets were impacted. Trust Wallet said its investigation and monitoring efforts remain ongoing, and figures may change as reviews continue.
Alongside reimbursement efforts, Trust Wallet has focused on containment and damage control. The company has asked users who believe they were affected to update to the latest version of the wallet software and migrate their assets without delay. To support this process, a built-in “Migrate assets” feature has been introduced on both the browser extension and mobile app.
The migration tool allows users to securely transfer funds from wallets flagged as compromised to new or existing safe wallets. Once migration is complete, users are instructed to abandon the affected wallet entirely. Trust Wallet has emphasized that continued access or use of a compromised wallet is done at the user’s own risk, and losses incurred after warnings were issued will not be reimbursed.
To reach impacted users, Trust Wallet said it deployed multiple notification channels. Browser Extension users were shown a security incident banner prior to login. Mobile app users received five push notifications and three pop-up alerts. In addition to this, the platform’s Security Scanner now flags attempts to send funds to affected wallets across both environments.
The company has also directed users to monitor their email inboxes closely. Claims under review may need additional documentation, and delays in response could slow processing times. Trust Wallet said prompt replies help ensure claims are resolved more efficiently.
While Trust Wallet has ruled out an impact on its mobile app, questions around browser extension security have resurfaced across the wider crypto wallet ecosystem.
In an X post, the firm wrote, “We know this incident has been disruptive, and we truly appreciate the cooperation and understanding shown by our community. Our focus remains on user safety, strengthening security, and handling every eligible claim with care.”
