Crypto scams are getting more advanced, and phishing emails remain one of the most common ways attackers try to steal accounts and funds. These fake emails are designed to look legitimate, often copying logos, branding, and even official-looking email addresses.

To help users better protect themselves, Hata is introducing a new security feature: Anti-Phishing Codes. This personalized code will appear in all legitimate emails sent to you, making it easier to identify real emails from fake ones.

Think of it as your own personal security signature.

Quick Breakdown

• An Anti-Phishing Code is a unique code created by user.

• The code will appear in all legitimate emails sent by the platform.

• If an email does not contain your code, it could be a phishing attempt.

This simple feature adds another layer of protection to your account and helps users avoid scams.

What Is an Anti-Phishing Code?

An anti-phishing code is a personalized string of letters, numbers, or words that will be set up in your account security settings.

Once activated, every official email sent to you will include this code somewhere within the email. This allows you to quickly verify whether the email is genuinely from the platform.

👉 Example: If your chosen anti-phishing code is SAFE123, then all official emails from the platform should display SAFE123 at the footer of every email.

If you receive an email claiming to be from the platform without the code, that’s a strong warning sign that the email may be fake.

Why Is It Important?

Phishing scams work by tricking users into clicking malicious links or revealing sensitive information such as passwords, OTPs, or recovery phrases. Since scam emails can look extremely convincing, it’s sometimes difficult to tell what’s real and what’s fake.

An anti-phishing code helps solve this problem because the code is unique to you. Scammers usually won’t know your personalized code, making it much easier to spot suspicious emails immediately.

This extra verification layer helps protect:

• Your exchange account

• Your personal information

• Your crypto assets

How Does It Work?

Setting up your anti-phishing code is simple:

1. Go to your home page

2. Click the Hata logo at the top left corner

3. Navigate to Security

4. Set up your Anti-Phishing Code

Once enabled, official emails from the platform should always contain your code. If the code is missing, you should avoid clicking any links or downloading attachments from the email.

Best Practices for Staying Safe

While anti-phishing codes are useful, they work best when combined with other security habits.

Here are a few important tips:

• Never share your passwords, OTPs, or recovery phrases.

• Always double-check URLs before logging in.

• Avoid clicking suspicious links from emails or messages.

• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

• Treat emails without your anti-phishing code as suspicious.

In crypto, security is all about layers, and every extra layer matters.
