Trust Wallet Hit By Hack As Attackers Steal Over $7M In BTC, ETH, USDC, BNB

Multiple Trust Wallet users experienced unauthorized fund withdrawals within the past few hours, as assets were drained from their addresses without approvals, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT, with over $7 million drained.

However, the occurrence and the time of the incident have raised concerns since it followed a recent update to Trust Wallet’s Chrome extension that was released on December 24.

Data shows a massive number of transfers between affected wallets, with a peak of activity focused during hours after the rollout of updates.

According to Trust Wallet, the incident only affected Browser Extension version 2.68, and advised users to disable it and upgrade to 2.69 immediately.

However, mobile-only users and all other extension versions are not affected.

The hack targeted mainly BTC, ETH, BNB, and USDC, with funds transferred immediately in each reported case, and reported activity showing no gradual or staged withdrawals.

ZachXBT identified several addresses linked to the reported thefts, including 0x3b09A3c9aDD7D0262e6E9724D7e823Cd767a0c74, 0x463452C356322D463B84891eBDa33DAED274cB40, and 0xa42297ff42a3b65091967945131cd1db962afae4.

These addresses received funds from multiple affected wallets.

Incident Triggers Immediate Concern Across The Crypto Community

Against the backdrop, the Trust Wallet report has led to a serious concern across the crypto space, with the timeline being characterized by transaction data, with the focus still on the recent update of the Chrome extension.

Binance co-founder, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, has confirmed that Trust Wallet will cover the lost funds, with an assurance that the team is still investigating how the hackers were able to submit a new version.

Those who suspect compromise are advised to move the remaining funds to new wallets created from fresh seed phrases.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online.

Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
