Hidden script caught harvesting private keys as Trust Wallet issues emergency warning for Chrome users

Trust Wallet told users to disable its Chrome browser extension version 2.68 after the company acknowledged a security incident and pushed version 2.69 on Dec. 25, following reports of wallet drains tied to the Dec. 24 update.
According to BleepingComputer, victims and researchers began flagging thefts soon after 2.68 rolled out. Early public tallies placed losses in a $6 million to $7 million-plus range across multiple chains.
The Chrome Web Store listing shows Trust Wallet extension version 2.69 as “Updated: December 25, 2025,” anchoring the vendor’s patch timing to the day the incident entered wider circulation.
The same listing displays about 1,000,000 users. That frames a worst-case ceiling for reach.
Practical exposure hinges on how many people installed 2.68 and entered sensitive data while it was active.
Trust Wallet’s guidance focused on the browser extension release. The outlet said mobile users and other versions of the extension were unaffected.
