#钱包安全漏洞 Seeing this Trust Wallet security incident, I do feel a bit reflective. A $6 million loss is a large scale, but looking carefully at the data, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon — actual vulnerabilities directly from the official plugin itself are actually quite rare.
This Trust Wallet issue is indeed serious, but reviewing historical records, MetaMask, Phantom and other leading wallets have actually had their official vulnerabilities patched relatively quickly. What's more sobering is that what truly causes large-scale fund theft is often not technical issues with the wallet itself, but counterfeit software and phishing attacks.
From another angle, this actually reflects the most honest side of Web3 security — technical defenses can become increasingly robust, but human weakness will always exist. No matter how advanced a non-custodial wallet is, if users aren't vigilant enough, they will still fall into the trap.
So what I want to emphasize is: **download from official channels, regularly check browser extensions, remain alert to unfamiliar links** — these seemingly simple habits are actually the most effective way to protect yourself. The freedom and power brought by decentralization are real, but the corresponding self-protection responsibility is also real.
As long as we are cautious enough, plugin wallets remain very safe and reliable tools. In the future of Web3, security and convenience will definitely find a better balance.
