# Beware of Phishing Links and Fake Websites

Hackers often create **“phishing websites”** that mimic legitimate exchange login pages or customer service portals to trick users into entering their account credentials. Once entered, the account is at high risk of being compromised. These phishing links may be spread via **SMS, email, search engines, or social media**.

***

**Common Phishing Tactics:**

* **Look-alike domains** (e.g., replacing ChainBitX`[.]me` with ChainBitX`[.]vip` or ChainBitX`-exchange[.]com`)
* **Fake promotional ads** displayed at the top of search engine results
* **"Limited-time offer" links** shared in communities or private messages
* **Emails containing spoofed login links or suspicious attachments**

***

**Security Recommendations:**

* Always access the platform directly via **bookmarks** or the **official website**: **ChainBitX Avoid using third-party links.**
* **Never click on links from unknown sources**, especially those involving login or asset operations.
* Consider installing browser plugins such as **Netcraft** or **PhishTank** to improve phishing detection.

**Friendly Reminder:**

If you suspect that you've visited a phishing site, **immediately change your login and funds passwords**, and **enable Google Authenticator (2FA)**. You may also contact ChainBitX **customer support** for a thorough security check of your account.
