In any case, Binance seems to have weaker security than most other exchanges, so I don't bother trading there anymore. Bittrex is the one for me.

Not sure what you are basing that on, but Binance's security is as good as all the top tier exchanges in this market. In a way you can even say that it is better than the rest in security terms, because they haven't gone through anything seriously damaging yet. Admittedly, Binance is relatively new in the crypto world still, but they as largest exchange face the heaviest stress testing, and they handle everything without many problems.

In more recent terms their security trigger system prevented coin theft as result of an API key attack. In other words, Binance saved plenty of users, and that while these users messed up big time. Even if Binance's security trigger system didn't jump in, the loss of funds would still be people's fault. That's what you get when you use malicious bots and other services requiring input of API keys.

If they ever did decide to reward testers it is likely to be in BNB rather than BTC. Offering such a high amount is just pure greed on the scammers part and that will be their downfall. We must all be cautious and try not to fall for these scams.

Binance users are receiving letters with an invitation to test a new application for Windows for a reward of 0.5 BTC, which 'will go to your Binance account. All you need to do is download and enter your data.

This is phishing! Attackers try to get personal data in this way, to access your money. Binance does not distribute 0.5 BTC for testing Windows applications. Be careful!

Is there any information on how these emails are targeting Binance users specifically? Was there a database leak or something, as there shouldn't be a way of targeting them without access to their emails.

In any case, Binance seems to have weaker security than most other exchanges, so I don't bother trading there anymore. Bittrex is the one for me.

One tip is to always check the sender and email headers if you can. I doubt that the finance email can be spoofed, by many cyber criminals have other, compromised email servers they use to send out spam, so while an email might says it's from Company A, the From: email address is something like [email protected]

Sadly many modern email clients make checking this more difficult, as they sacrifice security for UI design choices

So be careful guys so that we can avoid this kind of bad activity Binance will announce globally if there's a true reward. Don't easily trust those kind of letters I think this is the idea of attackers.

Luckily, i didn't get that email. I'd be damned if i get phished. But surely, i'll be watching out for this. I checked my binance and there are no unauthorized use. I'm freaking out with all these hacking and phishing news. The last time was with myetherwallet and i was afraid to check my wallet that time.

It's insane how often social engineering is successful. By far the easiest type of hack to execute.

I have bookmarked my Binance and I don't enter a site through my email. These are measures I put in place to avoid be phished. I have received that email and deleted it without even reading the content.

It's just a cheap scam, and I don't know how the scammers got my email.
That's a question I've always been curious about.

A lot of people love giveaways whatever it is. But we really need to be careful. Whenever you feel something's off, just stop and do not risk your infos. They should not require a lot of datas in the first place.

Binance gives 0.05 btc if you download their application? binance will not do that that's phishing, scammers nowadays want to steal your crypto, I received many phishing emails because scammers knows my email when I signed up in airdrops that was last year, so don't show to the public your email or give it to someone.

It's time to remember that no one and never just so much bitcoin or Ethereum does not distribute. Who has been in crypto for a long time, has seen more than one such fraud, and there are always too gullible people, and then everyone is told that crypto-currencies are scam.

This is a good reminder and a very helpful but it woukd be more nicer if you put some links to support this advisory for us to be familiar,so whenever we encountered this thing we already know what to do.

Since binance is one famous thing here in our cryptoworld so better we must aware of everything phishing happening
