The largest cryptocurrency exchange of Binance reported an increase in the number of cases when attackers impersonate the employees of the platform support service.

The company said that attackers are trying to imitate the official Binance service channels, as well as use fake requests for video election of user persons or offer scanning of malicious QR codes for the sake of receiving unauthorized access to exchange accounts.

“Fraudsters impersonate the support service and ask for a video with your face to verify the account. They send QR codes through WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook, claiming that their scanning will allow you to receive a reward or load the update. The ultimate goal is to gain access to your means, bypassing real Binance verification systems and using the data stolen from you, ” – It is said In contacting the company to customers.

The Binance team said the number of exchange customers exceeded 275 million and therefore they often become targets for attackers.

Earlier, the Australian police and the NASC National Center for Fraud (NASC) reported more than 130 Binance customers who could “follow” by those who pretend to be the employees of the scammers exchange and lose crypto activists.
