Binance has released results from a recent survey focused on the cybersecurity habits of its users in Asia. Over 80% of respondents utilize two-factor authentication (2FA), while 73% regularly double-check their transfers for accuracy.
The survey highlighted that user education is key to advancing security, given the increasing sophistication of phishing scams and attacks relying on social engineering. Binance is investing in localized anti-scam education and working with regulators and law enforcement to enhance asset protection. Notably, most respondents felt that existing security guides are too technical, but more than 60% expressed willingness to engage in gamified anti-scam training simulations.
The findings also touched on the debate over self-custody versus exchange responsibility, revealing that 62.5% of participants believe centralized exchanges (CEXs) should proactively block high-risk transactions, and most would immediately contact the exchange if targeted by scams. While the survey's scope was limited to Asian users, Binance acknowledges regional differences in perceptions of scam risk and plans further research. The insights aim to inform broader policies and educational tools to improve security across the crypto sector.
