Withdrawal Anti-Tampering
If your device is infected by malicious plugins or Trojan viruses due to unreliable internet or other factors, these plugins can hijack your browser to maliciously alter the withdrawal currency, amount, and address. Image tampering protection for withdrawals can effectively mitigate such risks. You're able to immediately stop the withdrawal if the currency, amount, or address on the image does not match the actual details.
Anti-Tampering Measures for Withdrawals
Anti-tampering measures effectively prevent replay attacks under the same currency. When such risks are detected, KuCoin intercepts the action and re-verifies the withdrawal details with the user to ensure fund safety.
Deposit and Withdrawal Security
1. We collaborate with licensed institutions and regularly pool funds into reliable institutional bank accounts to ensure the security of user funds.
2. The account name of the depositor must match the user's account to prevent fraud and compliance risks.
3. The account name of the recipient must match the user's account for withdrawals to prevent fraud and compliance risks.
4. All deposit and withdrawal transactions require completion of basic KYC (Know-Your-Customer) verification.
Anti-Fraud Measures
Anti-Fraud Detection
KuCoin uses machine learning and AI to detect unusual transactions and prevent fraud by analyzing account, device, and transaction behaviors. By identifying strong association factors, we can recognize disguised bad actors, enhancing transaction security.
Risk Education and Alerts
In scenarios like deposits and withdrawals, we give targeted anti-fraud alerts and education to users in high-risk areas to prevent scams and protect your funds.
Wallet Security
The safety of all exchange assets is KuCoin's top priority. To that end, the KuCoin security team employs a range of technical tools and measures to safeguard them.
Cold, Warm, and Hot Wallet Separation
Our reserves are distributed across cold, warm, and hot wallets, with the majority of assets being stored in cold wallets that cannot be accessed directly from the internet, thereby minimizing risk and protecting user funds.
Multi-Signature Authentication
This mechanism requires multiple independent signatures for transactions, making it harder for unauthorized actors to access the assets, thus securing the wallet.
Financial-Grade Key Protection
KuCoin secures keys with a Hardware Security Module (HSM) that is certified to NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 3. All sensitive data is processed within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and a 24/7 anomaly detection system ensures immediate response to any irregularities.
Monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR)
Monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR) audits are conducted to ensure that all user assets on KuCoin are held and backed at a ratio exceeding 1:1. This transparent and verifiable process guarantees that our users can trade with confidence.
