–News Direct–

Singapore / June 3, 2024 In light of the increasing sophistication of recent cyberattacks targeting cryptocurrency exchange accounts, HTX, the crypto exchange giant, reportedly issued an urgent security alert to its worldwide users to enhance their security vigilance for safeguarding assets.

Recent Cyberattacks and Analysis

Case 1: A user's Chrome browser was infiltrated via the malicious "Aggr" plugin, resulting in the hijacking of browser cookies. Attackers exploited these cookies to access the user's account of a certain exchange without a login password and 2FA code and transfer out $1 million assets by wash trading.

Case 2: Another user fell victim to a sophisticated attack where attackers purchased their personal information on Telegram. The attackers manipulated the user's exchange account through email login and the forgot password option. Subsequently, they applied to change account settings, such as phone number, email address, and even Google Authenticator with AI-generated videos. This breach culminated in the theft of over $2 million assets after 24 hours of changing the account password.

These cases underscore the evolvement of cyber threats, particularly as AI technology is increasingly leveraged by malicious actors. It would be the best if users adopt robust security measures to protect their personal information and assets. For those holding substantial investments, it is critical to implement measures for stringent privacy and isolation, such as disabling third-party plugins and regularly logging out of accounts.

HTXs Commitment to User Asset Security: Timely Upgrade of Security System

As a world-leading cryptocurrency exchange, HTX is unwavering in its priority for user asset security. The exchange's security team continuously enhances its security management including security reserves and real-time security upgrades to counteract emerging threats.

2. PC Security: For login via PC, ensure your device is protected with robust antivirus software. Avoid installing untrusted third-party applications and browser extensions.

Moreover, HTX maintains a reserve ratio exceeding 100%, assuring users that their assets are always fully withdrawable. The exchange provides monthly disclosures of reserve ratios and open-source verification tools for Merkle tree data, wallet address ownership, and on-chain assets. Looking ahead, HTX is poised to employ even higher financial standards to ensure the long-term security of user assets.

In 2025, Kazakhstan was chosen for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and unique cultural heritage, setting it apart from other countries.

Nitya Chambers, Senior Vice President of Content and Executive Editor at Lonely Planet, noted: “Best in Travel 2025 is the latest edition of Lonely Planet’s annual love letter to the world. While mindful of our responsibilities and impact as travelers, we’re proud of the destinations, journeys and experiences featured here, and are excited to share the local expertise and insight at the heart of these recommendations. Wherever you are in the world, we’re confident Best in Travel brings fresh inspiration for the year ahead.”

Yerzhan Yerkinbayev, Vice-minister of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan welcomed this recognition, stating: “Kazakhstan’s inclusion in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2025 highlights the country’s growing appeal as a travel destination and opens new opportunities for promoting its unique cultural and natural heritage on the global stage.

Kazakhstan, which earned a place on this prestigious list, is described as a country where ancient traditions blend with modernity, offering something unique for every visitor. In the Lonely Planet publications, it states: “Kazakhstan is not just a place to visit; it’s a world to enter, a journey to undertake and a story to become a part of, with ghosts from the Silk Road whispering across the vast steppes that surround Kazakhstan’s cities still uncrowded by tourists.” Make modern Astana, which is the capital of the country, your starting point for a Kazakh adventure, and then roam the rough, wild mountains and steppe in Burabay resort, visiting ancient trading towns as Turkistan, dive into Caspian Sea and complete your journey in Almaty, gastronomy hotspot of Central Asia”.

Best in Travel is a landmark event for the global travel community, showcasing the most exciting and inspiring destinations for exploration. In 2025, the annual ranking celebrates its 15th edition, with a focus on countries and regions that offer unique experiences and demonstrate a commitment to sustainable tourism principles.
