Binance has officially responded to reports of SMS phishing attacks targeting its users, emphasizing that SMS spoofing is a common cyber threat rather than a new hacking technique or an attack aimed specifically at Binance or the cryptocurrency industry.How the Attack WorksSMS phishing (also known as smishing) allows attackers to modify the sender’s identity, making fraudulent text messages appear to come from a trusted source, such as Binance. In certain countries and regions, the legal framework around SMS spoofing remains unclear, making it difficult to combat these attacks.Binance acknowledged the challenges in preventing SMS phishing but assured users that it is working on a new security feature to help them verify the authenticity of text messages and mitigate phishing risks. Protecting Your Cryptocurrency from SMS Phishing AttacksBinance urges users to stay vigilant and adopt the following security measures to protect their accounts:1.

Phishing SMS messages appeared in the conversation thread of Binance official SMS messages, and appeared in the same context as the previous official SMS messages, sharing the same channel.

According to PANews, the security team at SlowMist has reported that on February 21, Bybit's multisignature wallet was compromised, resulting in the theft of nearly $1.5 billion through a 'legitimate signature' transaction. The attackers employed social engineering tactics to gain multisignature access and used the delegatecall function of the Safe contract to insert malicious logic, bypassing the multisignature verification process to transfer the funds. The Safe wallet introduced a Safe Guard mechanism in version 1.3.0, which allows for detailed security checks on transactions, such as whitelist verification and restrictions on high-risk operations. However, Bybit was using version 1.1.1, which did not include this critical feature. The SlowMist team suggested that if Bybit had upgraded to version 1.3.0 and properly configured the Guard mechanism, the loss might have been prevented.
