    Suspicious Withdrawal Requests

    Bad actors seem to be ramping up efforts to defraud crypto exchanges. Bybit detected nearly $1 billion in suspicious withdrawals during the first half of 2024. According to a press release dated September 20, the exchange said it prevented over $79 million in client assets from being lost through its enhanced security measures.

    Bybit's Security Measures

    Bybit also flagged abnormal withdrawal requests totaling $940 million, with over 8.4% confirmed as fraud attempts. The exchange states its AI-powered systems, including biometric authentication and behavioral analytics, played a key role in thwarting a recent attempt involving face-swapping technology aimed at bypassing facial verification.

    Scandals and Challenges

    In May, international prime broker Hidden Road halted trading for its clients on Bybit, citing concerns over its verification practices. Although Bybit has not publicly addressed the issue, a spokesperson emphasized the company’s commitment to transparency. Despite these challenges, Bybit has executed over 30 million withdrawals and protected more than $37 million in project funds since the start of the year.

    Bybit continues to tighten its security measures amid a growing threat landscape. The exchange remains firmly committed to protecting its clients' assets despite facing ongoing challenges and scandals.
