What HappenedÂ
In late December 2025, some users of the Trust Wallet browser extension reported unauthorized access to their wallets. The issue was linked to version v2.68 of the extension. As a result, several users lost funds, leading to a large number of support claims.
Trust Wallet confirmed the issue and asked affected users to submit claims through official channels. Since then, the company has been reviewing cases one by one to verify ownership and prevent fraud.
New Security Step: Customer Support Verification Code
In early January 2026, Trust Wallet introduced a new safety feature called the Customer Support Verification Code (CSVC). This feature was added in extension version 2.71.0.
The CSVC helps users prove that they can speak with support. This step aims to reduce fake claims and stop scammers who try to take advantage of the situation.
It said this update is part of a wider effort to protect users and improve how security issues are handled in the future.
Binance Partnership to Speed Up Claims
One of the most important updates is Trust Wallet’s partnership with Binance to offer a faster verification path for a specific group of users.
This option applies only to:
People who sent funds from Binance.com
Funds were deposited into the affected wallet
Transfers happened before December 24, 2025
Eligible candidates may be asked to submit a short verification video. Binance account details can help confirm ownership, which may speed up reimbursement.
It clarified that:
Only eligible candidates will be contacted
Contact will happen through the same support email thread used in the original claim
No new or random emails will be used
Users who do not qualify for this path will remain in the standard review process, which may take longer.
Reimbursements Still Ongoing
As of early January 2026, It confirmed that reimbursements are ongoing. However, delays remain due to:
High number of claims
Detailed case-by-case checks
Attempts by scammers to submit fake forms
Trust Wallet warned you to be careful. Fake websites, Telegram ads, and impersonator accounts are targeting victims by offering false compensation.
The company repeated a clear message:
Never share seed phrases
Never follow unofficial forms or links
Use only verified channels
Community Reaction and User Concerns
Many affected people have shared frustration on social media. Some say replies from support are slow. Others report large personal losses and long waiting times.
The growing number of scam attempts has added to user stress. Some victims said they were contacted by fake “recovery agents” asking for private details.
Despite this, some people welcomed the Binance partnership, saying it shows active effort to fix the issue.
Bigger Lesson for Investors
This incident highlights ongoing risks tied to browser-based crypto tools, even when they come from trusted providers. Extensions can be powerful, but they also create new attack points.
It has now improved:
Release monitoring
Security checks before updates
Internal response systems
These steps aim to reduce the chance of similar issues in the future.
What Affected Users Should Do Now
People impacted by the incident should:
Follow updates from X account
Submit claims only through official links
Ignore messages from unknown accounts
Avoid sharing private data
It says it will continue sharing updates as claims move forward.
