Per the screenshot shared by CZ, the scam involves sending users a text message with a link to cancel withdrawals, leading users to a fake website designed to harvest their login credentials.

The CEO has warned Binanc users not to click on any links from SMS messages and advised them to always type the URL for the exchange into their browsers manually.

Several cases of hacking and phishing have emerged so far in 2022, with some platforms suffering significant losses as a result of these attacks.
