I. Core Security Data Overview
In August, Huobi HTX OTC's risk control system demonstrated strong and efficient operational capabilities. The platform completed approximately 2.1 billion risk detection operations, with a detection frequency exceeding the industry average by three times, further ensuring comprehensive coverage and proactive prevention of potential risk behaviors.
Through intelligent identification and execution of risk control strategies, the platform successfully intercepted 11.59 million risk behaviors, with an average daily interception of 292,000 times, significantly compressing the triggering space for risk events. More critically, during this process, the system successfully blocked potential user fund losses of 910,000 USDT, alleviating users' concerns through strong "pre-protection" capabilities.
In terms of account security, the "frozen card rate" for users in August was controlled at 0.00046%, far below the industry average by ten times, significantly reducing the negative impact of transactions on users' bank accounts. At the same time, the platform responded to 100% of user complaints, handling a total of 2,814 user complaints in August, with an average processing time of less than 15 minutes, providing timely and professional assistance to users.
II. August Threat Landscape and Defense Guidelines
According to the risk control system's identification and data analysis, the risk behaviors faced by users during August mainly concentrated on five categories. Among them, false payment proofs and impersonation scams each accounted for 25%, becoming the two main types of scams. Such risks often mislead users into making mistakes through forged transfer screenshots or impersonating customer service identities. Therefore, the platform advises users to verify the receipt of funds through the payment channels and not to trust screenshots or verbal explanations easily. Users can also use the identity verification tool provided by Huobi HTX to ensure the authenticity of official staff identities: identity verification tool.
Additionally, joint scams, account farming fraud, and induced order cancellations each accounted for 10%. Joint scams often manifest as discrepancies between the payer's real name and the platform's registered name. Users are advised to immediately report such situations and wait for customer service intervention. For large transactions, the platform recommends ensuring that funds are received before completing the order. As for induced order cancellations, they often come with excuses like "bank card limit" or "system card freeze," intending to prompt users to voluntarily abandon order completion, thereby committing fraud. Huobi HTX reminds users that if they encounter such situations, they should immediately click the "Appeal" or "Request Customer Service Intervention" button on the order page to avoid property loss.
III. Risk Control System Upgrade Record
During August, Huobi HTX OTC implemented several upgrades to its core risk control system to further enhance the platform's overall security protection capabilities.
In terms of the rules engine, the system added 19 new intelligent identification rules, increasing the platform's accuracy in identifying new user fraud behaviors to 97%. At the same time, the risk control team built a behavioral feature database for cross-border fraud gangs, providing model support for subsequent precise strikes.
In terms of user-side protection, the platform continued to enhance its security alert mechanism. In August, a total of 511,500 high-risk operation pop-ups were triggered, with the system able to automatically issue risk warnings in high-risk scenarios. The coverage rate of high-risk transaction alerts also achieved 100% real-time reach, effectively reminding users to avoid falling into potential scams.
IV. Typical Scam Case Analysis
In practical prevention and control, Huobi HTX OTC focused on analyzing two common scam methods to provide users with specific identification ideas and response suggestions.
Case 1: False Payment - Forged Screenshots
Scammers send forged bank transfer screenshots immediately after placing an order, urging users to release funds with reasons like "system delay" or "transfer amount takes time." If users fail to log in to the payment channel to verify the receipt and trust the other party based solely on screenshots or messages, they may fall victim to asset theft. Huobi HTX reminds users to verify the receipt of funds through official channels and not to act based on screenshots; if the other party's urging is abnormal, they should be more vigilant.
Case 2: Induced Order Cancellation
Such scams are often triggered by fake sellers posting advertisements with prices significantly better than the market. After users make payments and upload proof, scammers will induce users to cancel orders with reasons like "the system might have frozen/delayed," "the bank card has suddenly been limited/frozen, unable to receive payments," or "the order seems to have timed out, to avoid funds being frozen by the platform, please cancel first." Huobi HTX reminds users that if a seller or buyer actively suggests canceling the order during the transaction process, accompanied by various reasons, there is a 99% chance it is a scam, and they should immediately report it and wait for platform intervention.
V. User Safety Action Guidelines
To help users establish basic risk prevention awareness, Huobi HTX OTC has specially compiled a concise and clear anti-fraud mantra:
Before trading, look carefully;
We don't deal with bad credit;
Exorbitant prices are traps;
Being greedy for small gains is most fatal.
If the other party urges you, don't rush;
Canceling orders is a trap;
If you encounter problems, just appeal;
Customer service intervention is the right path.
VI. This Month's Security Upgrade Preview
In September, Huobi HTX OTC will continue to promote the refined execution of risk control strategies, focusing on the following directions:
- New Feature Launch
- Chinese-speaking regions: Enable low-quality user identification, high-risk IP tracking, and non-real-name payment behavior monitoring.
- Overseas regions: Launch risk monitoring mechanisms for newly registered, low transaction rates, and small account farming accounts.

The platform will focus on combating new types of scams and push anti-fraud knowledge weekly to enhance users' risk identification capabilities.
Eight years of perseverance, the original intention remains steadfast. Huobi HTX OTC has always built a strong security barrier for every user with powerful professional strength and continuous investment, creating an open, transparent, and controllable risk trading environment. The platform sincerely invites users to actively provide feedback and suggestions to jointly promote the continuous upgrade of the OTC trading security system.
