Exchange Account Security Essentials

Hardening centralized exchange accounts and responding to lockouts or compromise.

Core Protections

If Your Account Is Locked

Gather government ID, proof of address, and any historical deposit or login records. Open a ticket through the official support portal (bookmark it in advance). Avoid sharing documents over unsolicited chat links. Sleutheon can help structure the evidence package for complex cases.

If Unauthorized Withdrawals Occurred

  1. Change passwords and revoke 2FA / API keys immediately from a clean device.
  2. Report to the exchange with transaction IDs and timestamps.
  3. Preserve all emails and screenshots.
  4. Consider on-chain tracing if funds moved to external addresses.
