Bitget's 2026 Anti-Scam Month: 150M Attacks Blocked, $32.3M Recovered — and Counting 🛡️

Bitget has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme "More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era," an annual initiative designed to build on the platform's 2025 security performance. During 2025, Bitget intercepted more than 150 million malicious attack requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, and handled 18,135 user protection cases. The exchange's security team also helped users recover approximately $32.3 million linked to security incidents.

The 2026 program focuses on a multi-asset trading environment in which user needs, and the threats attached to them, have expanded. Bitget said the campaign will continue to develop tools including passkey authentication and machine learning-based threat detection, alongside industry partnerships aimed at coordinated defense. The exchange described the initiative as part of a broader push to combine technological safeguards with user education as cross-asset activity grows.

Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget, framed the effort in a letter discussing Anti-Scam Month, noting that broader access to trading assets has raised the bar for platform-side protection. "Protecting users requires continuous risk monitoring, rapid response mechanisms, security education, and close cooperation across the industry," Ng said, adding that Anti-Scam Month is Bitget's vehicle for advancing both innovation and customer protection.

Bitget positions the month-long campaign as an extension of its standing protective program rather than a one-off event, with recurring reviews of attack data and recovery metrics. The exchange stated that figures from 2025, including the 150 million intercepted requests and $32.3 million in user recoveries, will serve as the baseline against which 2026 results are measured. No specific 2026 targets were disclosed in the announcement.
