According to Binance, users who have clicked on a potentially malicious link should take immediate steps to secure their accounts. These include reviewing trusted devices, checking connected sessions, and updating security settings to prevent potential unauthorized access.

According to Eric Cryptoman, a user of the cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, he alleges that his account was compromised due to internal employee actions. Despite providing evidence such as 2FA credentials, email details, original passwords, and other verifications, the user claims that Bitget has not returned access to his account. Eric Cryptoman also stated that his account was accessed via a hard bypass without 2FA or email authorization, and a fake KYC process was used. This incident raises significant concerns about the security practices of centralized exchanges (CEXs).
