Binance responds to "hackers stealing coins through red envelopes": Initial suspicion is that the user's device may have had malicious plugins/software installed, and it is advised to report to the police

ChainCatcher message, Binance responded to "hackers stealing coins through red envelopes" stating: "Based on the current investigation results and the information at hand, we initially suspect that the user's device may have had malicious plugins/software installed, which led to the user's email, Google Authenticator, Binance account, and other account information being sequentially stolen by hackers. The hackers simulated the user's common device and IP environment based on this, successfully passing the verification steps during the red envelope initiation process, ultimately resulting in the theft of funds.

It should be noted that when users send red envelopes for payment on the Binance platform, they need to verify their payment PIN/fingerprint or Face ID/authenticator app/email. Therefore, the reason for the theft of the user's account assets through the red envelope function is due to the aforementioned personal information being stolen. It is strongly recommended that the user report this incident to the police. The Binance security risk control team will assist in providing all the information we have and, with the user's cooperation, further investigate their device to jointly identify the final cause. We also remind all users to remain vigilant, enhance their security awareness, and ensure they use secure and clean devices. Be cautious of the security risks to accounts and devices to protect personal asset safety.
