Binance Introduces Withdrawal Lock Feature to Combat Coercion Attacks

Binance has launched a new security feature designed to combat a rising concern among crypto investors: physical coercion attacks.

The company's Withdraw Protection tool enables users to set a time window during which outgoing transactions are blocked, making it impossible for attackers to force victims into transferring funds.

This safeguard addresses a previously underappreciated but increasingly common threat in the cryptocurrency world. Physical coercion attacks involve forcing individuals to initiate transactions against their will, often through intimidation or threats.
