When it comes to crypto, security isn't just a buzzword – it's a must. From strong passwords to enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), every step matters in keeping your assets safe.
How We Helped Recover $20,000
In 2023, a hacker stole $30,000 from a user and tried to move the funds through ChangeNOW. Luckily, we spotted the suspicious activity and froze the funds. While the user had reported it to the authorities, the process was slow and frustrating, leaving him feeling hopeless. But we didn’t give up. After months of effort, we were able to recover $20,000 and return it to the user, giving him the relief he thought he'd lost.
This shows why security is so important. At ChangeNOW, we’re always working to keep your funds safe.
