Slow Fog CISO: Beware of SMS phishing attacks targeting Binance users, and we recommend that Binance conduct a thorough investigation into this issue

ChainCatcher news, according to a post by Slow Mist CISO 23pd on platform X warning, "Attention, the latest SMS phishing attacks targeting Binance users have emerged. Recently, two individuals received the same phishing SMS on the same day, and the phishing SMS even appeared in the conversation thread of official Binance messages, appearing in the same context as previous genuine official messages, sharing the same channel. Even more astonishingly, there was a significant time span, precisely forging the official SMS environment.The current possible explanation is that the SMS channel has been exploited or hijacked by the phishers. The first SMS indeed came from the official number, but the subsequent scam messages may indicate that:Scammers spoofed the official SMS source (SMS Spoofing)• They used technical means to spoof the SMS sending number, making it appear consistent with the official number, allowing phishing messages to blend into the official conversation thread.They exploited vulnerabilities in the SMS gateway or supply chain attacks• Scammers may have attacked the SMS gateway or exploited security vulnerabilities of carriers/third-party SMS service providers, successfully embedding phishing messages into the official channel.• There may even be collusion with unscrupulous SMS providers to directly spoof official SMS replies, making it difficult for users to discern authenticity.Please have Binance officials investigate the issue, and everyone is advised to enhance security awareness and pay attention to fund safety."
