Someone is instructing me to share with them my account details

Modified on Tue, 26 Aug at 7:49 AM

Receiving a request to share your account details can be concerning. It's crucial to know how to react to protect your personal information and financial security. Here are essential steps to take if you find yourself in this situation.


1. Never Share Your Account Details

Under no circumstances should you share your account details, including your email, password, and two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. This information is critical to your security and can be used by fraudsters to gain unauthorized access to your accounts. If you are being pressured to do so, it’s a strong indication that you may be dealing with someone who has the intention of stealing your funds or your data.


2. If You’ve Shared Your Account Details: Act Immediately

If you have accidentally shared your account details, it’s essential to take immediate action:

  • Activate the Kill Switch: Use the kill switch feature on your StraitsX dashboard to disable your account immediately. This can prevent further unauthorized access or transactions.
  • Contact Customer Support: Reach out to Customer Support immediately to report the incident and seek guidance on securing your account.


3. If You’ve Downloaded Remote Desktop Software

If someone has convinced you to download remote desktop software and you suspect that your StraitsX account (or any other account) may be compromised:

  • Activate the Kill Switch: Use the kill switch to secure your account immediately.
  • Contact Customer Support: Notify Customer Support as soon as possible. They can help you assess any potential breaches and guide you on the next steps.
