Binance warns crypto users of rise in phishing text scams disguised as security alerts

Binance says it has observed an increase in phishing attacks targeting crypto users, with scammers sending fake "security alert" text messages designed to trick recipients into clicking links and draining their accounts. The exchange lists common warning signs: texts disguised as official notifications such as "suspicious login detected," shortened links urging immediate verification, and manufactured urgency. Binance advises three protective steps: avoid tapping unfamiliar links and use Binance Verify to check legitimacy, enable the Withdrawal Address Whitelist, and turn on the Anti-Phishing Code. Users who tapped a link should contact Binance Customer Support via the official app.
