A significant security vulnerability has surfaced: Trust Wallet's codebase was compromised through a Github Copilot injection attack targeting their analytics infrastructure. The AI-assisted code generation tool inadvertently introduced malicious code into a non-critical analytics branch. While the breach appears isolated to analytics functions rather than core wallet operations, it raises serious questions about supply chain security in crypto development. The incident highlights growing risks as AI tools become standard in blockchain development workflows—automated code suggestions can become automated attack vectors. This underscores why rigorous code audits and security reviews remain irreplaceable, especially when integrating AI-powered development assistants into production environments. For users: check your transaction history and ensure your seed phrases remain secure. For devs: be cautious with AI-generated code in sensitive repositories.

Copilot has really become a new attack surface. Who would have thought?

AI-generated code failed, now Trust Wallet is also going to take a hit...

Even copilot can be taken down, hilarious

AI coding is no longer safe, how can we play now...

Copilot has been hacked, now it's better; AI-assisted coding also needs to be cautious.
