Trust Wallet Hack Exposes Hidden Risks for Crypto-Friendly SMEs

[tradelikepro]

The December 2025 hack of Trust Wallet revealed how vulnerabilities in everyday crypto tools can directly impact small and medium-sized enterprises, even when attacks are aimed at individual users. A malicious update to Trust Wallet’s Chrome extension led to roughly $7 million in losses, demonstrating how supply-chain weaknesses can bypass traditional security controls.

For crypto-friendly SMEs—such as fintech startups, DAOs, or firms using crypto for payroll and treasury—the incident is a warning sign. Compromised browser extensions, APIs, or third-party services can create rapid financial damage, even when a company’s own systems remain untouched.
