1. What is phishing?
A phishing attack is a criminal cheating process by getting sensitive information like username, password, fund and ID by means of disguising others. These messages claim that they are from an official or internet administrator to get trust from the victim.
BingX has provided the official verification function. Users can click " BingX Verify" at the bottom of the BingX website, and enter a domain name, email address, or other information to check if they are an official BingX representative, so as to prevent being scammed!
2. The ways that phishing spread
1) Through virus. Criminals clone a totally same website like bingX.com, and send the fake website address to users’ computers with some virus programs and junkware, or put the address on a search website to cheat users to log on to get users’ username, password, trade information or assets.
2) Through SMS. Criminals send cheating SMS messages to users, claiming that users won prizes or their accounts are stolen, asking users to log on to the website whose address is in the message to verify their identity. And the website is launched by criminals, which is a fake one just to get users’ information. If users log on to the website and operate, then users’ information like username and password will be known by the criminals.
3) Setting up a fake website. Criminals launched a fake website, and then post fake activity information on social media, this activity makes an empty promise, when users log on to the fake website, their usernames and passwords will be known by the criminals.
4) Through fake official mailbox. Criminals send lots of cheating emails to cheat the users to log on to fake websites, these emails ask the receivers to click the links in the mail to log on to a website which is like BingX.com with reasons like winning prizes or system update and so on, once users type in their usernames and passwords on the specified page, the information will be stolen.
5) Forwarding links of phishing websites through social communities to lure users to log into fake websites.
3. To prevent phishing
Use a relatively safe browser like Chrome and update to the latest version;
Notes: Chrome is a google product, its good safety performance is well known to all, updating to the latest version is because the low version has lots of loopholes, like Punycode phishing attack link: https://blog.csdn.net/qq_27446553/article/details/70255763
Don't install browser plug-ins without discretion;
Notes: Browser plug-ins have very high authority, and there is a risk of hacking, like the Chrome User-Agent Switcher back door incident. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14889619)
