Bitget Wallet Flags 37,000 Weekly Signing Requests for Potential Phishing

Bitget Wallet is expanding AI-assisted threat detection after its average weekly count of signing requests flagged for potential phishing climbed to about 37,000 in Q3 2026 from 5,000 in Q2.

The increase was 7.4-fold. Chief Operating Officer Alvin Kan said greater threat activity and improved detection may both have contributed, but the figures do not show how much each factor mattered. He said the tally counts flagged signing interactions, not unique attacks or confirmed financial losses.

The AI checks now look for fraud indicators in a site's code and domain registration records. Separately, the wallet simulates transactions to identify hidden permissions before users sign.

AI helped identify 90% of newly blocked risky domains in October 2026, compared with 36% in Q2 2026. Nearly 70% of the domains flagged by AI that October had no corresponding alerts in the external threat feeds Bitget Wallet checked.

The company previously warned users about phishing attempts and impersonation scams in a security notice.
