Too many users are being fooled, here are some tips to avoid the drama.
Activate your 2FA. Seriously, right now.
A password can be guessed, stolen, and reset, but what about two-factor authentication (2FA)? It's like your personal bodyguard. Use an authentication app (like Google Authenticator), or even better, a physical key. Don't use SMS as 2FA if you can avoid it. It's too easy to hijack.
Learn to sniff out a scam and DON'T CLICK!
The most effective scams play on emotions: fear, urgency, greed.
Make a habit of checking URLs (fake “Binance” ads, apps, or sites exist), and NEVER authorize a transaction signature if you don’t know what it does.
Use dedicated emails and passwords, and change them often
A serious wallet deserves a unique email address, never reused elsewhere.
The same goes for passwords: long, complex, and changed every 2-3 months.
Use a password manager and at worst, reset it if you don't already have this tool.
Public Wi-Fi = tourist trap.
Are you in an airport or a cafe with free Wi-Fi? Avoid logging into your Binance wallet or account. These networks are easily intercepted by a motivated hacker.
If you have no choice, use a reliable VPN, otherwise wait until you're home.
Activate your whitelist on Binance, not your stress.
Why could your wallet send funds to any address?
With the whitelist on Binance, you define in advance the ONLY addresses to which you can make withdrawals. A hacker gets their hands on your account? Too bad for them, they can click as much as they want: it won't go anywhere. As for what happens elsewhere, revoke.cash exists!
➡️ Each address addition must be validated by email. So if you see a strange request, the alert is more than red.
➡️ Remember to check this list regularly. Delete your exes' numbers (oops, sorry, the addresses you no longer use).
PS: If someone asks you for your seed, they are either a scammer or a scammer.
