Binance: It is recommended that users install the official app or visit the official website, and log out promptly after use

ChainCatcher message, Binance responds to users regarding asset theft incidents caused by browser plugins:The cause of the incident is that the user's computer was compromised by hackers, who stole the account login status through the plugin, impersonating the user to perform operations and transactions. Since the attacker had the same logged-in status as the user, the system executed the operation commands as if they came from the account owner.Binance's security customer service took 1 minute and 19 seconds to process the user's freezing request.The platform investigated wash trading and confirmed the suspect's account; cross-platform freezing requests take time.As of now, the investigation results show that Binance had not noticed any information related to the AGGR plugin prior to this incident. According to all internal records available, Binance indeed did not notice such plugin cases before this incident, and the team was not aware of anything related to AGGR at that time.Binance stated: The reason for the asset loss is that the user's related device was manipulated due to the installation of malicious plugins. For cases unrelated to Binance, there is no way to provide compensation.In response to the asset theft incidents caused by browser plugins, Binance advises users to enhance their security awareness and self-protection:Only install the official Binance app or use a clean, plugin-free browser to access the official Binance website.Log out of any app/browser involving funds promptly after use, and do not stay online to avoid the risk of leaking login status.For more security advice, please refer to the Binance official website.
