WEEX CSO Risk Warning: Trust should not come from a title, but only from verification
BlockBeats News, December 31. Ethan, Co-Founder and Chief Security Officer (CSO) of WEEX, posted on social media to remind that there has been a recent significant increase in security risks. Malicious actors have been impersonating investors, partners, or well-known KOLs, using collaboration, investment, or resource docking as excuses to carry out targeted fraud against project teams and industry practitioners.
Ethan stated that such attacks are often not simple phishing links, but rather through long-term communication, identity deception, and social trust inducement, ultimately leading the victims to execute files, access specific pages, provide signature authorization, or disclose internal information.
He reminded project teams and practitioners that before engaging in any activities involving permissions, authorization, documents, or fund operations, they must conduct multiple verifications and should not lower security standards due to the other party's "halo effect."
Ethan emphasized: "In the security field, trust cannot come from titles, only from verification." He also stated that he himself would not request any form of system access, file execution, or authorization operation through private messages or third-party channels.
