#加密钱包安全风险 An analysis of recent plugin wallet security incidents reveals an interesting finding: the $6 million theft from Trust Wallet appears to be an official vulnerability issue, but a historical review shows that direct official vulnerabilities in plugin wallets are actually quite rare. The real high-frequency risks come from counterfeit applications and phishing attacks— the surge in abnormal thefts of MetaMask in 2025 is primarily due to the proliferation of malicious extensions, rather than inherent security flaws in the plugins themselves.

From an on-chain perspective, this reflects that user behavior risks far exceed technical risks. Trust Wallet, holding 35% of the market share, being widely stolen, is less a wallet issue and more a problem of user download channel management. Fake apps frequently appear in the Firefox store, indicating that the review mechanisms of official app stores clearly have vulnerabilities.

The recommended strategic approach is simple: Official Chrome Web Store > Firefox Store > Other channels, with a significant difference in priority. Verify official links before large fund operations, and use hardware wallets to isolate high-risk activities—this is much more practical than obsessing over the security of the plugin itself. From a data perspective, the real risk lies in human choices, not the tools themselves.
