Published on 30 Sept 20172 min read

OKX users:
Recently, there were some OKX accounts that were accessed abnormally. Due to OKX security system, all withdrawals were unsuccessful; however, the transactions were chaotic and caused certain losses.


The reasons for abnormal account access:
1. The password is not properly kept and password setting was simple.
2. Personal computer is infected with a virus or users logged in account on the public computer.
3. Other platforms got security problems and a user set same personal password for OKX and other platforms.


Users can improve security settings to prevent abnormal login:

1. Created second verification by binding Google


Binding Google Authenticator Tutorial:
a: Download and Install: Search Google Authenticator in App Store and install.
b: Linking Google Verification: Users will get a secret key and make sure you have chosen to make the key Time based. Next step, a user is able to login OKX account and enter “Security”-“Google Auth”. It will show a QR code.
