From 2019 to 2021, more than 30 security incidents have occurred in exchanges all over the world. Among these, 70% were thefts of crypto assets from exchanges, causing a total loss of more than USD 1.5 billion. As a platform with direct access to user assets, exchanges have been a prime target for hackers. Being at the core of a digital currency exchange's competitiveness, security is, therefore, a crucial component.
Main Security Issues Exchanges Face
Access security -- Access security is typically referred to as a DDOS attack. DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are low-cost and efficient attacks that can disable a target host within a short period of time.
System security -- The attack is designed to actively look for vulnerabilities in the target's identity management system and applications. Using e-mail and other phishing methods, it will download malicious software which will be used to spread and exploit said vulnerabilities.
System fund security -- Hackers employ a variety of methods for attacking system funds, such as posting malicious links and directing users to click them which allows them to steal login credentials, attacking databases to obtain private keys, and transferring funds.
User fund security -- Mainly manifested as a loss of user funds, the problem of user fund security is, on the one hand, caused by fraud. On the other hand, it is caused by a vulnerability in user authentication information, resulting in the theft of user login information.
It is more difficult to solve a security problem than to understand the issue. However, Coinstore.com has taken multiple measures from technology to teamwork with respect to management and security education. These measures are meant to secure user funds and ensure the safety of the exchange. Today, we will share with you how Coinstore.com conducts top-level risk control and safety management.
Advantages of Coinstore.com in Security:
1. A stable technical structure to ensure the safety of funds
Coinstore.com has constructed a multi-level server structure. The server is regularly operated and maintained by a professional team to ensure a stable trading environment for its users. On this basis, a systematic and complete Big Data risk control system has been established. The platform supports real-time reconciliation and super system self-checking. Additionally, a portfolio of cold wallets and hot wallets is employed to manage storage separately. Methods such as offline signatures are applied to provide bank-level security services to guarantee the safety of user assets.
2. Industry-leading risk control system
Coinstore.com's system has been closely monitoring unauthorized transactions and suspicious activities. By utilizing technology and operations to form a more comprehensive risk control system, Coinstore.com makes multidimensional data statistics and analyses based on the IP addresses, devices, and online behaviours of users. Any abnormal transaction will trigger risk control, allowing the transaction to be intercepted so that user assets can be protected. Through operations, the Coinstore.com team carries out regular training activities for its customer service personnel, so as to secure every user’s assets. Furthermore, Coinstore.com will be publishing more articles on user cryptography, information security, security management and other content from time to time. These articles will provide users with more information on how they can keep their accounts safer.
3. Safe and smooth exchange currency withdrawal mechanism
To protect your personal assets, Coinstore.com has made a series of optimizations to its currency withdrawal process. When initiating currency withdrawal, Coinstore.com will send users a notification on cash withdrawal via e-mail. Moreover, users will not be able to withdraw currency for 24 hours after modifying any key information such as their login password, email address, mobile phone number, or Google verification code. This will prevent hackers from maliciously tampering with user account data and stealing account assets.
4. Coinstore.com passed Hacken’s security audit
Previously, we invited Haken, a professional cryptocurrency security platform, to audit the security of Coinstore.com. The audit involved security, confidentiality, processing integrity, information privacy, and availability. The results achieved showed that Coinstore.com passed this security audit smoothly.
5. A vulnerability bounty system without fear of challenges
Coinstore.com has also launched a vulnerability bounty program that is supported by many professionals in the blockchain security industry who can help us spot security vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
