The password and Fingerprint  will only work incase of an attempt from your phone but if your seed phrase got leaked It can be accessed through another phone without any password or Fingerprint, it's a non custodial wallet.. nevertheless, it's still good to use some extra layer security  to prevent a random person or stranger from laying hands on your funds in access to your phone but that doesn't still guarantee the safety of the wallet

I apologize if there is any misunderstanding. Of course, I meant $43,000 and not 43,000 bitcoins. I didn't think this clear issue would cause a wrong impression. It's funny someone who keeps 43,000 BTC coins in a Trust wallet and then comes here to discuss!

What do you mean exactly? I transferred $43,000 from Bingx to my Trust wallet on Monday at 6 pm, and it was withdrawn without my permission on Tuesday at 2 pm.

My main question is: How can malware unlock the secure folder and then bypass the trust wallet fingerprint?

43k USD to BTC is clearly about 0.689 in BTC and having such in a hot wallet like Trust wallet for too long, is a firstly a wrong move and it's only what a newbie would do.

Being a newbie means that despite our OP having had such an amount of coins (if ever) in a wallet and neither grew in his trading or investment abilities and knowledge as well as didn't grow in knowledge as regards safety upgrades for wallets and the best wallet type to use for BTC or cryptocurrency holdings in the form of savings or DCA. It means he is still a newbie in the crypto market and am certain he is a newbie here too and may have made up this story, else, am sorry such had to happen.

Perhaps he should contact Samsung and iPhone customers support with well detailed analysis on what happened with good pics and links if needed.
Also check if you whitelisted any address in the exchange you used as well as on your wallet.

Provide the address containing the BTC that you mentioned to be able to find out whether the address is actually filled with as many assets as you mentioned.
If stolen, we can trace the transaction by providing a transaction ID.

Don't put forward bad feelings when someone asks you to show your address and transaction ID.
In my opinion, Trust Wallet is not a good wallet for storing that much Bitcoin.

The first thing I would like to ask is why store so many bitcoins in a trust wallet if you are right besides that you also do not provide further information such as your addres or anything else to convince yourself that it is true

Also, it would be pretty reckless if you kept all that big money without a phrase and not secured because as far as I know trust wallet or any wallet can be opened on another device when there is a phrase and of course there must be a password that you have prepared beforehand unless you forget the password too.
Your words seem to be made up because you said the amount was large and happened months ago but you are only talking about it now so it is quite natural that many people will doubt your story.

There is no need to play the blame game, you made a mistake storing such an amount on a closed-sourced wallet with a history of security breaches. You shouldn't also depend on third-party securities from phone makers. Such an amount should be in a hardware wallet.


The simple explanation is that your phone security was compromised and the hacker had access to your funds. It is only the hacker that can explain why he has not cashed out.


If the hacker sends the money to an exchange, there is a slight possibility that he can be tracked especially if he went through KYC. Sorry for the loss, but the moral lesson is never to keep such an amount in Trust Wallet.

@OP
maybe I have missed it... but did you have verified with local police to fill an official claim?
If I remember correctly, you can try to track these coins and if these arrive in a wallet knowon of an exchange, you can ask to lock this account and get more details on it. I think you need to do both actions. Of course you need in most cases an official complaint.

Personally I can't trust or distrust your story (meanwhile I hope isn't true due the high amount... I am pretty sure you're not wasting precious time ...)

The story is not really clear because at first he the Op used iphone and the iphone he was using and the coins were in the iphone but the hacker hacked the coins from Samsung phone. Lolz this is strange story to rank up. From the reading of the Op story it is clear that the story is not true. Before someone hacked a wallet the seed phrase must have leaked. Like a thread I have read here. The guy mixed up his seed phrase and sent it to a hacker and the hacker rearranged the seed phrase and transfer everything has in the wallet, that story is somehow believable because the mistake was made by the owner.
But this Op is confused in the forum so he is trying to frame up any story to write and thinking that people would pity him and give him merits.

He has not provided the BTC address that contain that much amount. I do not know what is the reason to hide it as we are not asking any private keys but the public bitcoin address 

I really doubt OP story and will only believe to some extent if he share the bitcoin address that had this amount stored on it. If this is a false story, i also do not get what could be the purpose of it 

If this story is true, I want to go into the middle of a forest and scream.

You installed TRUST WALLET, which is partially Closed Source, in the Samsung Secure folder, which is a proprietary Application.  You used this partially Closed Source Wallet in conjunction with Avast AND Kaspersky, which are also both Closed Source Applications that can scan your files and send information about them to Third Party Servers.  Besides, many many years ago when I last ever used an Antivirus at least, the golden rule was NOT using two simultaneously if you wanted the best Security from them.  I am not sure how valid that rule is today.  But anyway.

Are you sure the Trust Wallet version you are using is legitimate?  I would be very skeptical about a partially Closed Source Wallet, but at least Trust Wallet has a reputation built and I do not think there are any valid accusations of them doing theft so far.

Are you using the legitimate, original Android ROM of your phone or did you flash a Custom one?

Where did you store your Seed Phrase?  Does any body else have access to that location or around it besides yourself?

As for how did the thief bypass the Secure Folder, I do not know of any real proof of how actually Secure the Secure Folder is.  But I imagine you are not the only one using it for storing your Cryptocurrency Wallet and if it was a Malware that penetrated even the Knox Sandbox then it would be expected that many more Wallets were affected, not just yours.

Unfortunately, it is not rare that the problem is either the way the victim stored the Seed Phrase or even some body close to the victim stealing it.  Think about it very carefully, let emotions to the side and start from your own house to the external World.  As much as you think the people you are living with or coming to your house are innocent, it is important to rule out every potential thief one by one.
