Recently, false information and phishing links were posted on the Gate.io official Twitter account(@gate_io) by phishers. Upon discovering the account anomaly, Gate.io's security team immediately reached out to Twitter to suspend the account and issued an announcement about the account anomaly, prompting users to pay attention to cyber security.
Through close cooperation between the Gate.io security team and Twitter, we quickly re-gained access to the Twitter account and deleted the false information and phishing links. At present, the Twitter account has resumed normal operations. Meanwhile, we also successfully blocked the phishing website from its operation, which effectively prevented users from accessing it. Fortunately, this incident only caused minimal damage to the platform and the users.
Based on the operating principle of "safety first, user first", Gate.io will provide full compensation for the losses that users suffered due to this incident. At present, our team is in communication with the users who were affected. Gate.io's official Twitter account has returned to normal and users can interact normally.
In response to the phishers' attempts to use malicious tactics to deceive users into clicking on fake links, Gate.io will pay more attention to the situation and work closely with Twitter to strengthen security management. We would like to remind users that there are several security steps you can take to protect your account and assets. Measures such as using stronger passwords, 2FA authentication, enabling anti-phishing codes, and remaining reasonably skeptical of suspicious websites will prevent you from falling into phishing traps.
To this end, we strongly recommend that users read the following reminders carefully to prevent phishing attacks:
1. Please be vigilant and cautious if you receive the following types of information during the trading process
Do not click on links to non-official websites or tempting information shared by strangers, such as:
- Unofficial Gate.io email
