4 data leaks in 24 hours. Coinbase vendor Amplitude, Bithumb, Mirae Asset, Daishin Securities.
Your exchange didn't get drained. But you're still fucked.
Here's the real threat: scammers don't need to hack the CEX. They just need your email, phone number, and a bit of social engineering. They call you by name, reference your recent trades, and suddenly that "urgent support message" feels real. You click. You verify. You're done.
SIM swap. Phishing. Impersonation. All enabled by data you never knew was leaked.
What actually works:
🔹 Unique passwords + email aliases for every platform
🔹 Hardware keys or passkeys, never SMS 2FA
🔹 Withdrawal whitelists + anti-phishing codes on every CEX
🔹 SIM lock with your carrier
🔹 Zero trust policy on unsolicited DMs, even if they "know" your details
You can have a Ledger and a 24-word seed locked in a vault. Doesn't matter if a scammer convinces you to approve a malicious tx because they knew your trading history.
Protect your identity like you protect your keys. Because in 2025, your phone number is more dangerous than your wallet address.
If your CEX leaked your info tomorrow, would you even know? Would your setup hold?
