HTX January Security Report: Enhancing User Safety

HTX has announced the release of its January 2025 Security Monthly Report, reaffirming its dedication to maintaining security across its platform. This report highlights various measures taken to bolster user security, including proactive reminders and intervention strategies aimed at thwarting phishing and fraudulent activities.

Key Highlights of the Report

Commitment to Transparency

Since May 2024, HTX has shifted towards transparency by issuing monthly security reports. This initiative aims to build user trust and demonstrate the exchange's unwavering commitment to safeguarding its users’ assets and information.

Security Reminders to Users

In January alone, HTX issued an impressive 380,000+ security reminders, which consisted of 339,480 email notifications and 40,523 SMS alerts. This proactive communication is crucial in preemptively addressing potential threats and ensuring that users are informed about the latest security practices. HTX's decisive actions included dismantling six phishing websites and halting operations of fraudulent app download sites to protect users from possible scams.

Transaction Security Measures

HTX’s commitment doesn’t stop at reminders; it extends to actively monitoring transactions on the platform. In January, the platform's risk management protocols effectively intercepted three withdrawal attempts aimed at scam addresses, resulting in the recovery of over $70,000 for users. Furthermore, through diligent investigations prompted by user reports, HTX aided in freezing approximately $193,702 worth of stolen assets that were traced back to the platform.

Asset Security Enhancements

The security measures are further complemented by HTX's stringent asset protection policies. The report revealed that 189 illicit addresses were blacklisted in January, successfully preventing the flow of over $624,190 in potentially compromised deposits. This vigilance is essential to maintaining the integrity and security of the platform’s financial ecosystem.

Proof of Reserves Updates

HTX also emphasized its commitment to transparency in asset management by regularly updating its Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves (PoR) reports. As of February 2025, the platform reported a reserve ratio exceeding 100% for all major assets, ensuring users of the platform's stability. The most recent figures include: BTC at 101%, ETH at 100%, and USDT at 101%. This public declaration of reserves represents the 28th instance in which HTX has disclosed its asset management status, reinforcing user confidence.
