Has Sparrow Wallet been hacked?
No primary-source incident was found for Sparrow Wallet in this collection: no company disclosure, no public vulnerability register entry and no regulator action. That is not proof that none happened. It is the absence of a search result, and a forum post or a press report is not recorded here until a primary source confirms it.
Sparrow Wallet support and scams
The official domain in the record is sparrowwallet.com. Type the domain yourself rather than following a link to it.
Real support never asks for a seed phrase. The recovery phrase restores the whole wallet on any device, so whoever is given it can move everything it controls, and no support agent needs it to answer a question. What Sparrow Wallet stores, by the record: Nothing by any provider. Wallet files are stored encrypted on the user's computer; the user keeps the seed or uses a hardware wallet.
Support links reached from ads or direct messages are the commonest drain. A search ad, a reply to a public complaint or a direct message offers help, the link opens a page that looks like sparrowwallet.com, and the page asks you to “validate” or “sync” the wallet by entering the phrase. Once it is typed in, the wallet is emptied and nothing in the terms gives a way back.
If money has already gone, the next message offering to get it back is the commonest second loss. The FBI, the FTC, the CFTC and the UK FCA warnings about it are quoted on crypto scam recovery: what is real.
