The crypto community is warned about phishing attacks by MEXC Global, which has reported fraudulent SMS messages.
Phishing Warning
MEXC Global has issued an urgent alert for its users about phishing messages sent via SMS. In a recent tweet from MEXC Builders, reports were highlighted concerning suspicious SMS containing phishing links, urging users not to click on any such links.
What is SMS Phishing
SMS phishing is a fraudulent method that uses text messages to steal sensitive user information such as wallet private keys and login passwords. Phishing attacks often impersonate legitimate entities, including exchanges and wallet service providers.
Safety Recommendations
MEXC reminds the crypto community that it never sends links via SMS and does not request personal information. Users are encouraged to use two-factor authentication (2FA), be cautious of unknown numbers, and verify SMS links against official domains.
By implementing proactive security measures and adhering to recommendations, users of the exchange can significantly reduce the risk of fraud and protect their assets.
