Bitget has kicked off its Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The campaign arrives after the crypto exchange recovered roughly $32.3 million for users last year and blocked more than 150 million malicious attack requests.
What the 2025 security numbers show
Bitget’s security systems logged over 2.8 billion interceptions through custom protection rules in 2025. The exchange also mitigated more than 1.5 billion DDoS-related attack attempts and identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses. On the user-facing side, Bitget handled 18,135 protection cases — everything from phishing warnings to account takeovers. The company says its machine learning-based behavioral analysis flagged suspicious activity across the platform, helping drive that recovery figure.
Expanded defenses and a challenge that drew 50,000 users
Last year Bitget rolled out several upgrades: Passkey authentication based on the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards, enhanced multi-factor authentication for high-risk account actions, stronger anti-phishing protections, and improved device management controls. Those tools are now part of the 2026 campaign's push for proactive security. The exchange also ran the Smarter Eyes Challenge, an anti-scam quiz that attracted nearly 50,000 participants. Combined with Anti-Scam Month campaigns in 2024 and 2025, Bitget says its awareness efforts reached about 1.38 billion users globally.
How threat intelligence partners fit in
Bitget doesn't go it alone. The exchange works with SlowMist and Elliptic for threat intelligence sharing, feeding real-time data on emerging scams and wallet addresses to its detection systems. That collaboration, paired with the machine learning models, helps the platform spot phishing sites and suspicious transaction patterns before they hit users.
The 2026 campaign is now live. Bitget is urging users to enable Passkey authentication and review their device management settings as part of the “Stronger Shield” push. The exchange hasn't announced specific events beyond the theme, but past years included webinars, social media quizzes, and security tip series.
