Matrixport, which claims to be one of the world’s “one-stop” crypto financial services platforms, officially launches its latest “Official Channel Verification” feature.
Users are now reportedly able to visit the verification page anytime in order to verify their accounts via multiple channels.
This is said to significantly lower the risk of phishing attempts by external parties, enhancing user security.
At present, Matrixport explains that it supports channel verification via website links, email addresses, phone numbers, WeChat IDs, Twitter IDs, Telegram IDs, Instagram IDs, LinkedIn IDs, Facebook IDs, and YouTube IDs, with more verification channels to be added in the future.
As noted in the update, users are now able toaccess the “Official Channel Verification” feature by visiting https://www.matrixport.com/verify or logging into the mobile App. Matrixport encourages users to verify accounts via the “Official Channel Verification” feature whenever they are “uncertain” about an activity or any “suspicious situation.”
Matrixport stated in a blog post that it advises users not to engage with any non-official channels to prevent the leakage of account information.
By introducing the “Official Channel Verification ” feature, Matrixport aims to empower users to verify the authenticity of accounts themselves, thereby reducing the risk of phishing attacks. In addition, Matrixport has launched an incentive program for users who identified security vulnerabilities and suspicious phishing activities.
Users may choose to send “relevant evidence” to msrc@matrixport.com. After verifying the evidence, the security team will send out the rewards (if multiple users send the same evidence, the reward will go to the user who sent the evidence first).
John Ge, Matrixport CEO stated that from a professional assets manager’s perspective, security is the foundation of all potential earnings.
John added that Matrixport is committed to enhancing its comprehensive capabilities in asset security as a competitive advantage.
So far, John said that Matrixport has obtained ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 2 Type 1, and SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
They now hope to enhance the security awareness of users “through this function and build a safer asset management environment together.”
