Trust Wallet clarifies 2018 security vulnerability: assets are safe, no asset losses occurred
Jinse Finance reported that Trust Wallet officially issued a statement on October 16, 2025, clarifying discussions regarding a vulnerability in early 2018 wallet versions. The vulnerability originated from a third-party open-source random number library widely used in the industry at the time and was completely fixed in July 2018. Around 10,000 early users were affected, but all were notified and provided with asset migration solutions, resulting in no asset losses. Currently, Trust Wallet uses audited modern cryptographic libraries and high-strength random number algorithms to ensure the security and verifiability of private key generation. The official team will launch a "Wallet Security Awareness Series" to help users understand wallet security knowledge and reiterate that "transparency and security" are Trust Wallet's core commitments.
