Binance responds to "SMS phishing attack": attackers carry out attacks by modifying sender identities, plans to launch new security features

Odaily Planet Daily News SlowMist Chief Information Security Officer 23pds said that there have been recent SMS phishing attacks against Binance users. Phishing SMS messages appeared in the conversation thread of Binance official SMS messages, and appeared in the same context as the previous official SMS messages, sharing the same channel. In response to this issue, Binance Customer Support responded that SMS Spoofing is a common attack method, not a new hacker technology, and is not targeted at the change or cryptocurrency industry. Attackers will modify the sender's identity to make the SMS appear to come from a trusted source. In some countries or regions, the mechanism for achieving disguise is still in a legal gray area, which increases the difficulty of solving this attack method in the security field. Binance plans to launch a new security feature in the near future to help users identify the authenticity of SMS messages. Hereby remind all users: Please be sure to carefully check the source of SMS information and avoid clicking on any suspicious links; Please keep your personal information safe to prevent leakage, including account passwords, mnemonics, and wallet private keys; Binance will not contact users via SMS and phone calls. If you encounter any problems, please contact online customer service.
