#钱包安全风险 Seeing the Trust Wallet incident this time, I still have some feelings. 2,520 wallets and 8.5 million USD, the numbers are right there, but behind them, how many people's night has been turned back to the beginning.

I still remember the early years of the Mentougou incident, when everyone truly understood what "not your private key, not your coins" means. But over the years, wallet security issues have not been truly resolved; they've just taken on a different form. Browser extension vulnerabilities, private key exposure, signing traps... Beginners get scammed, and experienced investors also have to be very cautious.

Trust Wallet's attitude this time is worth mentioning—taking the initiative to compensate rather than shifting blame, showing that major platforms still have some bottom-line awareness. But the problem is, compensation only addresses financial loss; it cannot repair the cracks in user trust. More importantly, this exposes a cyclical problem: whenever the industry develops rapidly, security defenses often lag behind. From the Mentougou incident in 2014, frequent exchange hacks in 2017, to current vulnerabilities at the wallet level, history is repeating itself.

What is the real lesson? Large assets should still be stored in cold wallets or multi-signature schemes; convenience and security have always been a trade-off. Browser extensions, no matter how good, are only suitable for small transactions. This rule has remained unchanged for ten years and will not change in the future.
