Binance users are being warned about possible security breaches after reports emerged that accounts were compromised due to a Google plugin called Aggr, promoted by Key Opinion Leaders (KOL).
Binance Users Warned About Security Breach Via Google Plugin Aggr
The plugin has been linked to many cases of significant theft of funds from user accounts.
A Chinese Binance user reported having $1 million stolen after using the Aggr plugin. The funds were stolen through cross-trading mechanisms, indicating a sophisticated attack.
Hackers use compromised cookies to bypass standard security measures such as passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA). This method allows unauthorized access to users' Binance accounts, allowing the theft of significant amounts of money.
Binance users are strongly advised to avoid downloading and using unverified third-party add-ons, especially those promoted through KOL channels.
Users should remain vigilant and monitor their accounts for unusual activity. Regularly updating security protocols and ensuring robust 2FA can provide an additional layer of protection.
Suspicious activity or possible violations should be reported to Binance support for immediate action.
Recent breaches underscore the importance of cybersecurity in the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape. While Binance and other platforms work to protect users, the community is called on to adopt best practices for online security.
