BitMEX says unauthorized attempts to access user accounts on the rise

BitMEX, the digital asset industry's largest derivatives platform by volume, says that unauthorized attempts to access BitMEX users accounts are on the rise. According to BitMEX, perpetrators have adopted increasingly sophisticated tactics in taking over and moving funds from compromised accounts, The Block reports. To counteract these attacks, BitMEX now mandates email verification for all withdrawals and strongly encourages setting up 2FA verification.
