KuCoin Expands Anti-Phishing Initiative as Part of Global Cybersecurity Awareness Efforts

KuCoin has introduced the second edition of its “Anti-Phishing Month” campaign, continuing an initiative first launched last year. The program is designed to strengthen user protection through a combination of education, security infrastructure, and risk management practices. The rollout comes amid a rise in phishing activity targeting crypto users. According to KuCoin, SMS-based phishing and email phishing account for more than 90% of recorded incidents on its platform. These attacks can lead to financial losses and undermine user confidence, prompting the company to place greater emphasis on structured prevention efforts. The campaign aligns with several global cybersecurity awareness milestones observed in May, including World Information Security Day, World Password Day, and initiatives led by the International Telecommunication Union. KuCoin is using this period to promote stronger user awareness and encourage more secure account practices across its global user base. As part of its broader “security-as-a-service” approach, KuCoin has implemented a multi-layered protection system that combines detection tools, authentication measures, and user-focused education. The platform’s phishing detection engine is designed to identify and block suspicious login attempts and unauthorized withdrawal requests. KuCoin reports that the system intercepts more than 5,000 high-risk access attempts each day. Security measures are also integrated into key user actions such as account logins, withdrawals, and API connections. These include multi-factor authentication and real-time alerts, intended to ensure users are notified of potential risks before completing sensitive actions. In parallel, KuCoin continues to provide ongoing security education through its platform and mobile app. This includes phishing case studies, general risk awareness materials, and a “Security Score” feature that allows users to evaluate and improve their account protection settings over time. “In today’s threat landscape, relying solely on technical safeguards is no longer sufficient. Effective security requires both strong platform capabilities and informed user behavior,” said Edwin Wong, Head of Risk Management at KuCoin. “Through Anti-Phishing Month, we aim to make security a daily habit, something users can understand, engage with, and actively practice, ultimately strengthening long-term trust between the platform and our users.” As part of the May 2026 campaign, KuCoin is introducing an interactive Learn-to-Earn format that combines education with incentives. Participants are invited to study anti-phishing practices, complete a short quiz, and activate additional account protection features such as Anti-Phishing Codes. Users who complete the program will be eligible for rewards tied to the initiative. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
