Been fighting a cold, 38.9C a couple of hours ago. First time getting sick after prison. This issue kept its airspace in my head for the last few days, even through the fever.
Our industry should be able to completely eradicate this type of poison attacks, and protect our users.

All wallets should simply check if a receiving address is a “poison address”, and block the user. This is a blockchain query.
Further, security alliances in the industry should maintain a real-time blacklist of these addresses, so that wallets can check before sending a transaction.
Binance Wallet already does this. A user would get a warning like below if they try to send to a poison address.

Lastly, wallets should not even display these spam transactions anywhere. If the value of the tx is small, just filter it out.
Protect users.

Main TakeawaysAttackers use fake SMS messages to steal Apple ID credentials, which can indirectly compromise your Binance account by exploiting synced passwords, Face ID, and passkeys.Gaining control of your iCloud account can allow attackers to bypass Binance security measures, leading to unauthorized access.Protect yourself by verifying suspicious messages, enabling 2FA on your Apple account, securing your Binance account, and promptly reporting any unusual activity to Binance support.Fake SMS messages aren’t new – scammers have long pretended to be banks, service providers, or even relatives. One of the latest tricks involves attackers posing as Apple. If they gain access to your Apple account, they could take over your Apple ID, iCloud, saved passwords, and passkeys. In this article, we’ll break down how this scam works and what you can do to stay protected.What is Apple ID Phishing?Attackers send fraudulent SMS messages that appear to come from Apple. These messages often claim your Apple account has experienced unusual activity, such as a suspicious login from an unfamiliar location and urge you to click on a link to “verify” or “secure” your account.The link leads to a fake Apple sign-in page designed to steal your Apple ID credentials. Once attackers gain access to your Apple or iCloud account, they can exploit sensitive data stored there, like photos, saved passwords (potentially  your Binance login), Face ID configurations, and passkeys.With control of your iCloud account, attackers can sign in on their own iOS devices and use biometric data (Face ID), passkeys, or synced passwords to bypass security measures on linked accounts, including Binance. This could allow them to access your account without triggering additional verification –  enabling attackers to move or withdraw your funds.How to Spot Apple Account Phishing AttemptsSome phishing attempts might look obvious, but scammers have been finding ways to make their messages and links seem more legitimate.The first sign that you’re a target for scammers is an unexpected SMS from Apple reporting unusual account activity, particularly sign-ins from unfamiliar locations or messages threatening account suspension. Often they include links, which don't match official Apple domains and contain subtle misspellings. The image below shows an example of a fake SMS that appears to be from Apple.How to Protect Yourself from Apple ID Phishing1. Verify Suspicious Messages: Never click links in unexpected SMS or emails. Instead, visit Apple’s official website or use their verified app to check your account status.2. Secure Your Apple/iCloud Account: If you notice any suspicious activity on your Apple account, change your Apple ID password immediately. For extra security, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Apple account. You should also frequently review your list of trusted devices and remove any that you do not recognize.3. Enhance Your Binance Account Security: Regularly review the devices connected to your Binance account and promptly remove any that you don’t recognize. If you detect any suspicious activity, change your Binance password immediately and reset your two-factor authentication (2FA) settings to enhance your account’s security. Additionally, avoid saving your Binance password in cloud storage or password managers that are linked to other accounts to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.4. Report Anomalies Immediately: If you notice any unusual activity on your Binance account, contact Binance Customer Support promptly to report the issue immediately.Final ThoughtsPhishing might look like just another text on your phone, but behind it could be someone trying to unlock your entire digital life. By targeting Apple accounts, scammers aren’t only after your photos or files – they’re after the keys that can open doors to other platforms, including your Binance account.That’s why it’s crucial to stay cautious: double-check suspicious messages, enable two-factor authentication, and avoid storing your Binance password in cloud storage or linked password managers. Remember, security isn’t a one-time setup – it’s an ongoing journey. Our Security Series is designed to guide you along the way, helping you recognize threats early, strengthen your defenses, and trade and explore Web3 with confidence.Further ReadingBargain or Trap? – The True Cost of Second-Hand Binance AccountsWeb3 Security Tips – Customize 2FA and Embrace Passkeys on BinanceRing-Ring, It's a Scam – Beware of Fake Support Calls Targeting Your API
