Trust Wallet Reports Major Security Breach: How to Protect Yourself

Trust Wallet has confirmed a security incident affecting users of its browser extension. The announcement follows reports of unexpected fund losses on December 25.

The firm stated that the issue affected only the Browser Extension version 2.68.

Trust Wallet Alerts Users After Wallet Drains

According to Trust Wallet, users running version 2.68 should immediately disable the extension. They should then upgrade to version 2.69 via the official Chrome Web Store. The company emphasized that the issue did not affect mobile-only users or any other browser extension versions.

The announcement came after on-chain investigator ZachXBT flagged suspicious activity involving Trust Wallet users earlier the same day. ZachXBT reported that hundreds of wallets were drained within a short time window, with losses estimated at over $6 million at a minimum.

Blockchain data reviewed by the investigator showed a high frequency of immediate transfers from affected wallets. Hackers moved assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB, almost instantly in each reported case.

Investigation Shows Coordinated Wallet Theft

Further analysis revealed that the stolen funds were routed through multiple receiving addresses, often following similar transaction structures. The repeated routing patterns suggested coordinated activity rather than isolated incidents. However, ZachXBT noted that tracking the full scope of the theft remains difficult due to the large number of intermediary addresses involved.

The investigator added that the suspicious activity appeared to cluster around the period following recent updates. ZachXBT also stated that users may receive compensation if Trust Wallet is found responsible. They emphasized that any conclusion would depend on the outcome of ongoing investigations.

Trust Wallet has not yet disclosed the technical cause of the breach. Users should upgrade immediately, revoke suspicious approvals, and monitor their wallets closely for unusual activity.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
