Trust Wallet CEO Eowync.eth announced on the X platform the latest developments regarding the security incident of the browser extension v2.68, stating that the team has confirmed a total of 2,596 wallet addresses have been affected. Currently, approximately 5,000 compensation claims have been received, which include a large number of duplicate or invalid submissions attempting to fraudulently claim compensation for victims.
