My Trust Wallet / MetaMask Was Hacked – How to Fix & Recover Your Funds
Discovering that your Trust Wallet or MetaMask was hacked is a nightmare. Unlike a centralized exchange, non‑custodial wallets have no customer support to reverse transactions. However, you can take immediate action to prevent further losses and potentially recover stolen funds. At Crypto Reverse Transaction , we help victims of wallet hacks trace and recover their assets. Read our success stories and testimonials .
Immediate Steps: What to Do Right Now
1. Stop All Activity
Do not interact with any suspicious dApps or approve any more transactions.
2. Revoke Malicious Approvals
If your wallet was drained via a token approval scam, revoke the approval immediately:
- For MetaMask (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, etc.): use Revoke.cash.
- For Trust Wallet (BSC, Ethereum): also use Revoke.cash.
- For Solana wallets (Phantom): use Sol Incinerator.
Revoking costs a small gas fee but prevents further drains.
3. Move Remaining Funds
If your wallet is still accessible (the hacker hasn’t changed the seed phrase), immediately send any remaining crypto to a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase. Do not reuse the compromised wallet.
4. Document the Theft Transaction
Find the outgoing transaction hash (TXID) of the theft. This is the most critical evidence for recovery.
5. Do NOT Engage the Hacker
Do not message, threaten, or negotiate. Scammers will ignore you or ask for more money.
Why Was Your Wallet Hacked?
Common causes of MetaMask or Trust Wallet hacks:
- Seed phrase theft – You entered your 12/24 words on a fake website, popup, or phishing email.
- Malicious contract approval – You approved unlimited token spending on a fake NFT mint or airdrop.
- Fake wallet app – You downloaded a malicious clone of Trust Wallet or MetaMask.
- Device compromise – Malware, keylogger, or clipboard hijacker.
- Phishing link – You clicked a link from Discord, Twitter, or Telegram.
Can You Recover Crypto After a Wallet Hack?
Yes. Even though the transaction cannot be reversed, the blockchain is permanent. Professional recovery services can:
- Trace your stolen funds from your wallet to the scammer’s wallets.
- Follow the money through intermediary wallets, mixers, or bridges.
- Identify the centralized exchange where the scammer cashes out.
- Freeze the scammer’s exchange account.
- Return your funds.
Success rates exceed 85% for cases reported within 72 hours where the scammer uses a major exchange.
