Shiba Inu Holders Targeted In Major Security Breach, How To Stay Safe
Shiba Inu holders are being targeted in a major security breach linked to a compromised version of the Trust Wallet Chrome browser extension (version 2.68). Embedded malicious code allowed attackers to drain funds without user detection. The SHIB community, due to its large holder base and widespread use of browser wallets, is particularly affected. Warnings urged users to immediately disable the vulnerable version and update to version 2.69. Trust Wallet acknowledged the breach, which resulted in approximately $7 million in losses across 2,596 confirmed wallets, and has committed to reimbursing all verified victims. This incident highlights ongoing infrastructure risks in crypto, reminiscent of a previous $4.1 million Shibarium bridge exploit in September 2025.
