Gate and BlockSec Launch Security Series on Phishing and Account Theft

Security education is becoming a competitive feature for exchanges, not just a compliance checkbox, as phishing and social engineering remain the most common vectors for retail account theft. The pairing of a large exchange with a specialist firm signals that user-side risk is now treated as a shared infrastructure problem. The more telling detail is the operational friction — a cooling-off period on new withdrawal addresses — which trades convenience for a window to catch compromised accounts. Whether such measures become standard across venues, or stay a differentiator, is the open question.
