KuCoin text message scam! Data breach? Short codes sent to users!
BEWARE!
I’ve been getting these short code texts from fake Kucoin websites that are trying to steal your crypto. They say “you have received a trading fee reimbursement! Claim your USDT now at FakeWebsite”
I’ve gotten two different ones and the websites are kucoinfees and kucoinclaims.
There’s either been a data breach or there’s a current/former employee who has/had access to the user info who’s doing this.
Thankfully I never did their KYC crap or I would’ve lost all that personal info too!
Who else got these texts? What other websites you seeing? Any suggestions to stop this from happening? Can’t really block the short code can we? Wouldn’t that block other ones, or how does that work?
Kucoin needs to say something about this because it’s 100% related to them. How else would the scammer know we have a kucoin account and the phone number we have linked to our kucoin account? I’m not getting these from other exchanges.. so it’s pretty obvious to me.
What do you guys think?
