Binance Warns Users of Increased Phishing Text Scams

On September 3, 2026, Binance issued a warning to its users regarding a surge in phishing attacks via fraudulent text messages. These messages impersonate Binance notifications, claiming issues with account settings or suspicious activity, and prompt users to click on malicious links. The exchange noted that these scams are designed to pressure recipients into acting quickly without verifying the message's authenticity. Binance emphasized that it will never request users to click links in text messages for account verification. To mitigate risks, users are advised to verify links before clicking, enable the Withdrawal Address Whitelist, and activate the Anti-Phishing Code feature. The warning comes amid rising concerns about the effectiveness of these scams, which have already victimized some users.

Key Points: • Binance warns of increased phishing text scams targeting users. • Fraudulent messages mimic legitimate notifications to deceive users. • Users are advised to verify links and enable security features.
