why

most serious security risks people underestimate on Binance

#Leaving assets in a “safe” account that’s actually exposed through *session hijacking + API misuse

Most users think:

> “I have #2FA on, so I’m safe.”

That’s not enough.

# The overlooked danger: Compromised session or API access that bypasses 2FA

#WHY this is dangerous

Binance (like most exchanges) does NOT require 2FA for every sensitive action once a session is authenticated, and API keys often bypass login protections entirely.

Attackers don’t need your password or 2FA code if they get any one of the following:

# 1. Active session cookies

If malware, a malicious browser extension, or phishing site steals your Binance session cookie:

* They can trade
* They can change API permissions
* They can drain funds via trades → withdrawals
* Often without triggering a new 2FA prompt

Many users don’t realize:

> Logging in once ≠ protected forever

---

# 2. Over-permissive API keys

This is extremely common.

Users:

* Create API keys for bots or portfolio trackers
* Leave withdrawals enabled
* Don’t restrict IP addresses
* Forget the key exists

If that key leaks:

* Funds can be drained silently
* No email alert in some scenarios
* No login alert
* No 2FA challenge

This is one of the top real-world causes of Binance account drains.

---

# 3. “Safe” funds still at risk via trading

Even with withdrawals disabled:

* Attackers can trade assets into illiquid pairs
* Manipulate price
* Leave you with near-worthless tokens
* Or set up future liquidation risk

Users assume:

> “If withdrawals are locked, I’m safe.”

Not true.

---

# Why people don’t realize this risk

* Binance UI emphasizes password + 2FA
* API risk is hidden in advanced settings
* Session security is invisible
* People underestimate browser compromise

---

# How to actually protect a Binance account (most people don’t do all of these)

# Critical protections

1. Disable withdrawals on all API keys
2. IP-restrict every API key
3. Delete unused API keys
4. Use a dedicated browser profile for Binance
5. No browser extensions in that profile
6. Log out after each session
7. Enable withdrawal address whitelist
8. Enable anti-phishing code (email)
9. Use a hardware key (YubiKey) for 2FA
10. Keep most funds off exchanges

## One sentence summary

> The biggest Binance security danger people don’t realize is that once an attacker gets a session or API key, 2FA often doesn’t matter—and funds can be drained without ever “logging in.”
$BTC $ETH

Last night, just as I was about to go to sleep, I received a message from a friend:
“Bro, have you seen $WHY yet? It stands out strongly in a market that's as red as blood.”
I get up. Open my phone.

The screen shows a chart: green candles breaking resistance, volume increasing, RSI entering the sweet spot.
At that moment I realized:

The crypto market is not just a place to make money – it's a place to capture the emotions of the crowd.

$BNB #WHY

At this stage, some people are still choosing and waiting. Let me tell you here that the madness in the second half of the year is still a meme. If you still ask why at this point, then you should buy it.
。
The reason why Sol can rise to prominence is that memes play an undeniable role.
Many people say that the more meme prices rise, the more you should buy. This is true, but for ordinary players, with limited information, even if they can enjoy the benefits, most people can only enjoy as much as they can. Why can meme continue to rise? It is because when the size is large enough, as long as the project owner does not run away, it will not die even if it wants to. Sol has done this, and the project owner cannot run away even if he wants to. That is why Sol has been revived.
