🚨Warning! Binance users are targeted by SMS scams as fraudsters exploit the Bybit hacking incident!
Recently, Binance users have become targets of SMS scams, with fraudsters using the Bybit hacking incident to create panic, sending false messages that appear to be from Binance, claiming that users' accounts have security vulnerabilities or have even been hacked by North Korean hackers. The purpose of this information is simple: to scare you into taking hasty action without verifying the authenticity of the information.
These messages usually contain a link or phone number claiming to be Binance customer service. Once you contact them, the scammers will instruct you to transfer funds to a so-called 'secure wallet.' In reality, this wallet belongs to them, and your money and sensitive information will fall into their hands.
Hong Kong Web3 expert Joe Zhou shared his experience on LinkedIn. He received a message from his frequently used Binance number stating that his account was being accessed by North Korean hackers. Having just experienced the Bybit hacking incident, Zhou felt panic and called the number in the message, nearly falling victim to the scam. He reminds everyone that these scams are becoming increasingly cunning, making education and vigilance crucial.
Binance has issued a warning, reminding users that they will never request financial transactions or personal information via SMS. Users should verify any suspicious information through official channels and avoid clicking on unknown links.
🗣️To avoid being scammed, here are some prevention tips:
1. Don’t click on unfamiliar links: Access Binance’s official website or app directly, do not operate through SMS links.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Increase account security.
3. Stay vigilant: Especially after major security incidents, scammers exploit panic to deceive.
Scammers exploit investors' sense of urgency and fear, forcing them to make hasty decisions. In a state of panic, users often lose their judgment and are more likely to disclose personal information.
Cryptocurrency users must remain vigilant, especially after security breach incidents. When encountering suspicious information, verify before acting! If you receive similar messages, immediately seek verification from official sources.
