Trust Wallet Account Hacked? Here’s How I Got Mine Back

How To Recover Hacked Trust Wallet Account (The Only Guide You Need)

Hacked Trust Wallet? Here's how to recover your account, protect your crypto, and avoid getting scammed again.

Let me tell you a quick story.

A friend of mine—we’ll call him Tolu—called me one Saturday morning, panicking. His Trust Wallet had been hacked overnight, and his crypto? Gone. Just like that.

Can you imagine?

That’s when I realized most people don’t know what to do after a crypto wallet hack. They think all hope is lost.

But that’s not always true.

If you act fast and follow the right steps, there’s still a chance to recover your coins or at least secure your other assets.

In this blog post, I’ll break down everything you need to know—from spotting a breach early, to reporting it, to steps you can take to recover or protect yourself after the fact.

Read on.

How to know your Trust Wallet has been hacked

The earlier you know, the better your chances of doing something about it.

Here are 5 warning signs that your Trust Wallet account has likely been compromised:

• You notice unknown transactions or coins missing 

• You’re locked out of your wallet (the passcode or seed phrase doesn’t work)

• You see suspicious approvals or DApp connections in your wallet settings

• Your Trust Wallet behaves abnormally or crashes suddenly

• You get strange emails or phishing messages pretending to be from Trust Wallet

If you notice any of these, stop everything and move to the next section.

First steps to take immediately after the hack

Step 1: Disconnect your wallet from all connected DAppsOpen Trust Wallet and go to the DApps tab. Disconnect from all apps immediately.

Step 2: Revoke suspicious approvalsVisit revoke.cash or [etherscan.io/tokenapprovalchecker] and revoke access to all suspicious smart contracts.

Step 3: Transfer remaining funds to a new walletIf you have any tokens left, create a new Trust Wallet account and transfer everything to safety.

Step 4: Backup your new wallet properlyWrite your seed phrase down and store it offline. Not on your phone. Not in your email.

Step 5: Report the hackReport to Trust Wallet Support and also file a complaint with the FTC or EFCC if you're in Nigeria.

How to recover a hacked Trust Wallet account

Let’s be honest—Trust Wallet itself can’t help you recover stolen funds. It’s a non-custodial wallet.

But…

If the hacker moved your coins to a known exchange wallet, you might be able to track it.

Here’s how:

• Use a blockchain explorer like BSCScan or Etherscan 

• Input your wallet address and trace the transaction flow

• If the funds land on a centralized exchange (like Binance or KuCoin), report to their fraud department with the transaction hash

• Provide proof that you’re the original owner

They might freeze the hacker’s account—but only if you act quickly.

Should you hire a recovery firm?

Yes—but only if you’re careful.

There are two types of recovery agents:

• The legit ones (rare, but they exist) 

• The fake ones (90% of those you’ll meet on Telegram, Facebook, and even WhatsApp)

Never pay upfront fees. A legitimate firm only charges you after successful recovery.

Always ask for:

• Proof of previous recoveries

• A verified website or LinkedIn page

• Escrow options for payment

What if recovery fails?

If you can’t get the funds back, don’t panic.

Here’s what you can still do:

• Secure your other accounts—email, exchanges, other wallets 

• Educate yourself on wallet security: 2FA, phishing, and safe browsing

• Use hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor) for long-term crypto storage

• Never reuse seed phrases, even if it’s just for testing

This experience can either destroy your crypto journey—or turn you into a smarter investor. It’s your call.

Final verdict: Can you really recover stolen crypto?

Yes—but only in very specific cases.

If your coins landed on a centralized exchange, there’s a chance.

If they went through Tornado Cash or a decentralized bridge, forget it.

But whether you recover the coins or not, one thing is clear:

You must take your wallet security seriously going forward.

No more shortcuts.
