During the CEO Connect: June Edition AMA with Binance CEO Richard Teng, when asked about how Binance is working to make crypto safer for everyday people amid losses and scams in the industry, he responded that safety within the crypto space is something that many people worry about, and that scams are not an issue specific to the crypto industry. He brought up Binance’s $1 billion SAFU emergency fund and monthly Proof-of-Reserves reports, but also highlighted Binance’s industry-leading security and risk management infrastructure, collaboration with external partners and Binance's nine-level anti-scam control framework that helps protect users from evolving threats by alerting them when their assets might be at risk. He also shared how Binance worked with US and Taiwan law enforcement agencies to take down a notorious darknet narcotics marketplace called Incognito Market, adding “that’s one example, but there are many such cases we've worked on. Effective security takes collaborative effort, and we’re committed to doing our part to make crypto safer and more accessible for everyone.”#Binance #CryptoSafety #RichardTeng #ScamPrevention #EmergencyFund #ProofOfReserves #Security #RiskManagement #Collaboration #AntiScam #Accessibility #BNB
🚀 Binance Outlines Listing Process and Scam Prevention Measures
#Binance #ListingProcess #ScamPrevention #OfficialCommunications #BinanceVerify #CryptoSecurity #CryptoCompliance #Blockchain #DueDiligence #NoListingFees
According to the announcement from Binance, the platform emphasizes its commitment to innovation and supporting high-quality blockchain projects. As the largest crypto exchange by volume and users, Binance has designed a rigorous, fair, and transparent listing process to bring promising projects to its global user base. The announcement warns against bad actors who falsely claim to be Binance Business Development employees or intermediaries guaranteeing listings for a fee. Such claims are scams, as Binance evaluates projects based on merits, including community demand, market conditions, compliance, and business model sustainability.
Binance has zero tolerance for third-party intermediaries in its listing process. The exchange does not accept applications or negotiations from external consultants, advisors, or agents. All communications must come directly from the project's core team, such as founders or C-level executives. If a project relies on intermediaries, its application will be immediately disqualified, and the applicant will be blacklisted. Additionally, Binance does not charge listing fees. While structured agreements may include budget allocations for marketing initiatives, any request for fees or tokens before official announcements or agreements is a scam. Binance will not contact projects via official email for listing matters or request listing fees.
To verify official Binance communications and employees, users can utilize the Binance Verify portal to cross-check identities through URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, Telegram handles, or social media accounts. Suspicious activity should be reported to Binance Customer Support to protect the community. The security of projects and assets is paramount, and understanding Binance's official processes helps maintain a safe ecosystem. For genuine listing applications, users are directed to official Binance pages for listing standards and requirements.#Binance #ListingProcess #ScamPrevention #OfficialCommunications #BinanceVerify #CryptoSecurity #CryptoCompliance #Blockchain #DueDiligence #NoListingFees
🚀 Singapore Investor Falls Victim to Crypto Scam During Game Testing
#Singapore #CryptoScam #Phishing #Blockchain #Web3 #Polygon #MetaToy #Malware #GameTesting #RektSurvivor #CryptoWallet #ScamPrevention #Cybersecurity #Cryptocurrency
According to ChainCatcher, Singaporean angel investor Mark Koh has fallen victim to a phishing scam, resulting in the loss of cryptocurrency assets valued at at least 100,000 yuan. Koh, an early investor in the blockchain platform Polygon, has been involved in the Web3 sector since 2017.
The incident occurred when Koh encountered a post about the game project 'MetaToy' in a Telegram group. A user named Shanni, claiming to be the co-founder of the 'Meta team,' contacted him and requested the download of a game launcher. Upon downloading, malware infiltrated his system and stole data from his crypto wallet. Despite conducting a full system scan and reinstalling his system, Koh discovered that multiple electronic wallets connected to browser extensions were emptied within 24 hours.
Koh suspects that the scammers used the name of a legitimate game project to plant malware on a fake website. Ironically, Koh is the co-founder of 'RektSurvivor,' an organization dedicated to assisting victims of cryptocurrency scams, yet he now finds himself a victim. He reported the incident to the authorities on the 12th and has urged the public to avoid downloading software from unknown sources and to refrain from sharing mnemonic phrases and two-factor authentication information.#Singapore #CryptoScam #Phishing #Blockchain #Web3 #Polygon #MetaToy #Malware #GameTesting #RektSurvivor #CryptoWallet #ScamPrevention #Cybersecurity #Cryptocurrency
