Topic: Using Anti phishing codes (Read 160 times)

Yes, I completely agree.

Exercising caution and not rushing must be considered, especially with email messages, even if they contain anti-phishing codes. Although it is a good security measure, it cannot be relied upon entirely. Blind trust in incoming emails is risky because if customer data is leaked or scammers manage to obtain the victim's anti-phishing codes by hacking his device or phishing methods, incoming emails will become like a landmine ready to explode in those who trust them. Scammers and hackers have their own sophisticated special methods, so all security methods must be carefully applied, and the greater the layers of protection and caution, the more protected the user will be.

Using Anti phishing codes is good to differentiate mails coming from a reliable sources or a platforms you are subscribed to but even as that making sure to check the content of a mail sent to your email is very important because with the way scammers are using different strategies to scam and defraud people it's really on a high level now so whatever thing you are doing on the Internet requires carefulness and make sure you don't click on links that you are unsure if they are malicious or not because I observed that there are sites that as soon as you click on them they automatically gain access to your personal information especially those that requires you to use your email address to register on those platforms. CEX have been a major target of scammers now that's why we should consider using hot wallets like DeFi Wallet and Zengo Wallet or non custodial wallets like coinomi, metamask, trust wallet, electrum and so on. Because your assets are more secured when you make use of those wallets then if you want to exchange cryptocurrency to Fiat then you can transfer it to a reputable exchange like Kraken and Binance when you want to make the transactions from cryptocurrency to Fiat.

When you register on an exchange (let's take Binance as an example), you can enter an anti-phishing code in your settings. It's just a string you will see at the top of your e-mail correspondence with Binance in the future. So let's say you pick the code BitMaxz. Every time Binance sends you an e-mail for any reason, you will see something like, anti-phishing code BitMaxz at the beginning of your e-mail.

I wouldn't bother too much about it because you still need to be careful about what's in the e-mails. It might have arrived from a legit source, but that source could have been hacked and phished as well. The e-mail accounts of support personnel and other staff could have been hacked. We often see Twitter accounts hacked with all sorts of scams posted soon after. Just because the e-mails come from the right source, doesn't mean you should let your guard down and trust everything you see there.

Just like other people said this anti phishing already exist in the mail hosting providers, the bad thing is smart people know that and they will find another way to bypass those things, what matter is the last form of defense and that is you, you better need to learn basic things to distinguish what is scam and what is a legit one, no matter what code or anti software you are going to be setup, if you as a user will just allow it in the end its useless, you should not only rely on those things because as technology evolve as this scammers also will find a way to get through those antivirus, anti etc.

When I received scam messages on email automatically it moved to spam box and usually I don't attend to every mail or like a promotional mails when it comes i put on trash or I completely don't pay attention to it. About wallet connection, I don't think they would asked to connect exchange wallet instead they may require you authorized your wallet to connect to the site which I think is very bad to give permission to access your wallet while enrolling in airdrop campaign. The best is is to get yourself another new wallet that doesn't have anything to do with were you store your real funds, with this if you separate it then is easier to prevent some possible scam that may like affect them.

Anti phishing code prevent your money from missing also your important and sensitive informations , emails and others from scammers, it also helps to separate your mails that are from scammers and the real one from reaching you, it is best for you to be very vigilant in other for you not to be frauded ,it is best to have a different emails in whatever you are doing from Bitcoin account,so in case of any mistake or problem you are well secured not losing all your valuables than using one email for all your businesses .

I had this on my exchange account before. I think it does help up to a certain extent when it comes to filtering which is worth reading or nah but I wouldn't rely on it faithfully. You'd still have to examine the whole email body and try not to click links whenever possible.

I just find emails on the fragile side. For instance, email contents could be leaked from third parties which naturally could include your anti-phishing code. Scammers could try to take advantage of this and include the code in their next scam email to you.

Anti-phishing code usage is very simple. Once you activate it on any website or exchange that you are using, they generate the code, which is encrypted. Only you will know about it, and in every email you receive from that exchange, the code you generated will be attached to the email like a signature, so whenever you get a legit email from them, you know it's from the right source as it will end with the signature you generated. 
 
The code can only help someone differentiate between an official email from the right source and that of a scammer trying to impersonate that particular organisation. The phishing code does not 100% protect users from being scammed; anyone who is careless, even with that activated, can still be scammed.

I never test any anti-phishing codes or maybe I don't get what exactly the phishing codes you mean? But after I learned a lot about phishing since 2015 until now I never experienced being hacked because I know what are these phishing sites I've learn that when trying to phish my friend it is just for study purposes all visitors who submit important information to the site like a password and username it would directly save to database so I know how to protect myself to any phishing sites.

So I don't need any anti-phishing code to protect myself from phishing it would be nice if someone developed a code like that because it can help newbies to avoid phishing sites or links.

What do you mean you came up with the idea? This system already exists and there are exchanges and services that use it. It's not something you came up with.

It's quite easy to battle phishing scams sent via e-mails. Don't click on any links in e-mails. Don't download or open attachments. Bookmark the official websites you use in your browser and always verify the information you see in e-mails on the official website by visiting the domain yourself and not from a link in the e-mail. Alternatively, look for more info on their social media channels if it's news-related or an announcement.

Anti-phishing will help, but with a different email is also very good. So using both looks very good. One best strategy is to always carefully open emails. Because I always do that. I don't know how this anti-phishing works. I don't think they can detect 100% about phishing in emails. Indeed, I read many service providers in the form of 3rd party application extensions. Conditions like this also seem to be dangerous, if we use a 3rd party service. Because it is also vulnerable to the theft of the data we have. Maybe always use 2 verifications for all your accounts and of course the combination of a strong email password will make it a little more difficult.

Your idea isn't wrong at all but personally I prefer using separate emails for any crypto related stuffs.

Even with the anti phishing codes it doesn't guarantee your security or safety, scammers to some extent could beat such level of email security by making their phishing emails more authentic.

You can avoid all this phishing links and emails compromise my follow the regular instructions. don't ears to unsolicited emails, don't click on links attached to emails etc. whether you're a newbie or not ones instinct is always correct while taking email related actions.

You all can agree with me that the rate of scamming now is really alarming and scammers are using various means and mediums to defraud people from their funds and just within this periods I noticed that the scam is mostly done on CEX platforms, from p2p manipulations to other deceitful ways they are sending mails to people and if you are not smart and careful enough that's how you will fall a prey to them so I just come up with the idea of using Anti phishing codes attached to your email address.

Anti phishing codes can be used to differentiate between messages or mail sent to you by the original apps or sites you are using and the ones sent to you by someone who is trying to defraud you. The phishing codes can be a set of characters put together by you to be able to identify information that are sent to you by genuine apps and sites that you are you are making use of their platforms for transactions.

There is need to consider using Anti phishing codes attached to your email address since it is majorly used to get information from most of the platforms we use online and newbies are always the targets of scammers and they are mostly the victims to scams so if they can employ this idea of using anti phishing codes it will enable them to know when a message is fake/original/real.

Now that a lot of people are playing crypto games on telegram to earn coins and some Airdrops is the time where most people get scammed since most of the crypto games requires connecting your exchange wallet address to claim the Airdrops so for anyone connecting their wallets to claim Airdrops, they should be security conscious of their assets and if possible should use an exchange address that you have no asset in it and using this anti phishing codes can also help in a case of any fraudulent activities in your account you can be able to identify them immediately.
