These accounts were primarily used in Sybil attacks, in which several accounts were created in order to take advantage of airdrop. Following a thorough investigation, 297 primary accounts were confirmed by Binance and banned. As an example of the scope of the Sybil attack, one of these accounts alone had accumulated up to 9,000 KYC accounts.&nbsp;
The strict risk control procedures implemented by the platform ensured that these malicious activities were quickly detected and addressed. To continue providing for actual users, project expenses will be funded by money from frozen and recovered <a href="https://u.today/5-reasons-why-ethereum-eth-is-much-stronger-than-bitcoin-btc-right-now" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">accounts</a>. Through proactive measure, Binance hopes to prevent system abusers from profiting from airdrop events and instead to assist authorized users. This action is a component of a larger plan to preserve the platform's IEO and airdrop events' integrity.
Users of Binance have been reassured by the company that only fraudulent accounts are the focus of the risk control procedures. There is no need for genuine users to be concerned about their accounts being impacted.
Binance users can use the online customer support portal to file a complaint if their account has been mistakenly classified as fraudulent. The support staff is dedicated to finding quick solutions to these problems so that real users do not have to suffer. As airdrop hunters use more advanced tactics to take advantage of free token distributions, Sybil attacks have grown to be a serious threat in the cryptocurrency space.
