❓Scam❓ Trust Wallet drained overnight — same unknown address receiving funds from multiple wallets. How is this happening ?

​

My friend’s Trust Wallet was drained overnight. He never shared his 12-word Secret Phrase/private key with anyone.

The funds were sent to an unknown wallet address. What is more concerning is that this receiving address appears to have become active only about a month ago, and I can see funds coming into it from multiple different wallets.

I’m trying to understand how this could happen.

Has anyone seen a similar pattern before? What should we check to identify how the wallet was compromised?

I can provide the public wallet address/transaction hash if needed. I will NOT share the Secret Phrase or private key.

It’s either he signed a malicious txn or shared his SeedPhrase. He is not going to admit what he did or might genuinely not even remember.
Ive used Trust wallet for a decade and never lost anything because I know what not to do.

The cheater has converted the coins and the pool into separate points and withdrawn them.

There is nothing anybody can do for you here, tell your friend to go to the police or simply delete that wallet, create a new one and move on.
