Client funds retrieved from compromised Trust Wallet

A recent case from blockchain forensics firm Chain Retrieval shows how swift action can change the outcome of a crypto theft. The company recovered stolen cryptocurrency for a client after scammers compromised their Trust Wallet in a phishing attack.

The trouble began when the user connected to a fake decentralized app (dApp). The site looked like a legitimate DeFi platform but was a scam. It captured the victim’s wallet credentials. Within minutes, scammers drained thousands of dollars in crypto. They quickly moved the funds across multiple blockchains to hide their tracks.

Once the client reached out, Chain Retrieval launched a real-time investigation. They used advanced tracing tools to follow the stolen assets through wallets, exchanges, and bridges. The team identified several wallets holding the crypto. They immediately alerted centralized exchanges, which froze the funds. These timely actions stopped the assets from moving further.

Thanks to this fast and coordinated response, Chain Retrieval recovered the stolen funds. Such outcomes are rare but possible with the right tools and experience.

The firm warns that phishing attacks and wallet scams are rising. Many users enter DeFi without fully understanding the risks. Chain Retrieval urges everyone to double-check URLs, avoid unknown dApps, and never share private keys or seed phrases.

This recovery adds to the company’s track record of reclaiming stolen crypto. It also strengthens Chain Retrieval’s position as a trusted name in blockchain forensics and asset recovery.
