Recently, the Ministry of State Security reminded that, as tokens have gone viral, some criminals have begun to take an interest in them, lying in wait to set up all kinds of traps. At the same time, tokens themselves also carry certain security risks during use, which we need to guard against. Token leakage and hijacking risks. Criminals can steal or intercept unencrypted tokens through methods such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and public Wi‑Fi sniffing. Once a token is leaked, an attacker can directly impersonate the user, obtain private information, log into accounts, tamper with data, and even carry out actions such as scams and fund transfers, directly threatening individuals’ financial security. If massive amounts of tokens are aggregated and analyzed, it could trigger systemic risks and endanger data security and national security. (CCTV News)
