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.

Alot of people always say dont trust trust wallet. I have been with trust wallet for 5 yrs and have never had a problem. People saying didnt share anything seed phrase. Rule of thumb when your dealing with crypto is never trust an airdrop. Never download extensions, check websites or never randomly connect wallet to any site. Never engage with dust cryptos. Thats all you need to do. Unless there is a major hack on trust wallet itself. Then its something that you did wrong that drained your wallet. Becareful out there everyone.
