Huobi HTX firmly believes: "Only by actively building a 'multi-dimensional integrated' security depth system and an open and win-win security ecosystem can we provide a truly solid foundation of trust for tens of millions of users worldwide."
In the first half of 2025, the crypto industry was once again alarmed by frequent security incidents. On February 21, the global trading platform Bybit suffered a major hacking attack, resulting in losses exceeding $1.4 billion, marking the highest single theft incident in history. The "Lazarus" organization behind the incident has once again exposed deep-seated issues in the current industry regarding the evolution of attack methods, system vulnerabilities, and cross-platform response mechanisms.
Against this backdrop, Huobi HTX, as a leading global crypto asset service platform, continues to increase its security investments. By establishing three major security systems—risk control, operations, and public opinion—it comprehensively strengthens the multi-layered protection of accounts, transactions, and fund information. In the first half of 2025, it effectively blocked multiple risk events, safeguarding user asset security.
Industry Security Situation: Frequent Attacks, Complex Technologies
In the first half of 2025, the crypto market experienced frequent hacking attacks and fraud incidents, with on-chain malicious activities evolving from "simple phishing" to "composite attacks": including social engineering, malicious contract deployment, UI forgery, deep disguise, etc., exploiting gaps in platform security systems for infiltration. Incidents such as the Bybit hacking event and multiple protocol thefts on the Solana chain reveal the high level of professionalism and automation in attackers' methods.
At the same time, the regulatory environment is also changing. Several countries have successively introduced compliance regulations for virtual asset service providers, requiring platforms to meet standards in anti-money laundering, account protection, and risk control audits, pushing the industry as a whole towards "high-standard security compliance."
Mainstream security technologies are also advancing, with on-chain transaction tracing systems, AI risk control engines, and automated contract audits gradually becoming standard tools for platforms, effectively enhancing the ability to identify and respond to unknown risks.
Semi-Annual Data Review: Black Address Interception, Fraud Tracking, User Protection Significantly Enhanced
In the first half of 2025, Huobi HTX delivered impressive results in account security, transaction security, and fund security.
In terms of account security: Over 2.01 million security alerts were sent to users, including 1.809 million via email and 206,000 via SMS, effectively raising user security awareness. A total of 127 counterfeit app download pages and phishing websites were successfully taken down, preventing users from falling into traps.
In terms of transaction security: 15 withdrawal operations to fraudulent addresses were successfully intercepted, recovering a total of 104,847 USDT for users; 68 external theft asset inflow incidents reported by users and partner channels were received and processed, helping to freeze stolen funds amounting to 1,429,787 USDT.
In terms of fund security: 20,871 new blacklisted addresses were added, intercepting 47 recharge operations involving black addresses, preventing illegal funds from invading the platform, with an amount reaching 1,449,467 USDT.
In June, Huobi HTX's security data showed that the platform continued to enhance security protection: 5 fraudulent withdrawal attempts were intercepted, helping external users freeze stolen assets exceeding $400,000; 2,769 new black addresses were added, intercepting an amount of 21,239 USDT; 41 new phishing links and counterfeit platform websites were taken down.
Security Construction Achievements: New Systems, New Technologies, New Concepts, Multi-Dimensional Collaborative Protection
To achieve comprehensive protection of user assets and platform operations, Huobi HTX upgraded its security system and restructured its technology in the first half of 2025, establishing three major security systems covering "risk control, operations, and public opinion":
Risk Control System: A self-developed millisecond-level real-time risk control rules engine and comprehensive monitoring and alert system cover the entire platform business chain. Key user behavior points are subjected to real-time filtering, significantly reducing risks such as account theft, money laundering, and malicious trading.
Operations System: A 24/7 customer service and security operations response team was established to promptly respond to and handle various risk alerts and security incidents, ensuring efficient and closed-loop risk management.
Public Opinion System: By maintaining close communication and cooperation with leading security companies, project parties, and exchanges in the industry, a "joint defense and control mechanism" was established to achieve rapid perception and synchronized response to industry security incidents, enhancing hacker tracking and cross-platform collaboration capabilities.
Based on the above comprehensive security systems, Huobi HTX continuously reduces the probability of user exposure to risks in account security by combining multi-factor authentication, behavior recognition, dynamic risk level management, and collaboration with security agencies to eliminate fake pages. In terms of fund security, Huobi HTX has built a blacklist database of millions of addresses, collaborated with authoritative organizations on anti-money laundering information databases, and combined on-chain tracking systems with risk models to accurately identify abnormal fund flows, preventing the inflow of suspicious assets and user fund losses. In terms of information security, the platform implements a financial-grade information security system and strict internal control measures to ensure user information security, preventing data leakage or misuse.
Additionally, Huobi HTX has fully upgraded its PoR data storage system to a TiDB storage method, further enhancing system stability and processing efficiency while effectively reducing operational costs. Data shows that in the first half of 2025, Huobi HTX's overall asset data significantly increased, with core asset reserves continuing to rise, and stablecoins like USDT and ETH maintaining a net increase trend for several months, reflecting users' growing trust in the platform.
Moving Towards a Safer Future: Co-Building an Industry Security Ecosystem, Enhancing Trust and Resilience
In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to strengthen its security construction. As Huobi HTX's technical experts stated: "Since 2024, we have witnessed the severe challenges faced by the security defenses of the cryptocurrency industry. The Bybit incident has once again sounded the alarm for the entire industry at a cost of $1.44 billion—hackers' attacks have shifted from technical vulnerabilities to human weaknesses. In 2025, we have strengthened the deep integration of zero-trust architecture and behavior analysis, achieving three core upgrades: dynamic permission verification, full-link transaction verification, and regular red-blue confrontation. This lays a solid foundation for advancing the construction of a secure ecosystem in the cryptocurrency industry and protecting users' assets."
● Dynamic Permission Verification: Fund operations require environmental labels and biometric dual authentication to ensure consistency between the operator and the operating environment;
● Full-Link Transaction Verification: A transaction content comparison mechanism based on smart contract levels fundamentally eliminates transaction deception after front-end UI tampering;
● Regular Red-Blue Confrontation: The security team simulates the latest attack methods of hacker organizations and APT organizations every month to promote defense through offense, strengthening the platform's response capabilities.
Huobi HTX firmly believes: "Only by actively building a 'multi-dimensional integrated' security depth system and an open and win-win security ecosystem can we provide a truly solid foundation of trust for tens of millions of users worldwide." In the future, Huobi HTX will continue to invest tirelessly in security infrastructure construction, working with the industry to address increasingly complex security threats, leading the industry towards a more transparent, healthier, and sustainable direction.
