How to Use and Set up the Anti-Phishing Code on Coinhako

Phishing is a common scam where attackers pretend to be someone you trust—like Coinhako—in order to steal sensitive information or take control of your account. One simple and effective way to stay safe is by setting up your Anti-Phishing Code.

What is an Anti-Phishing Code?

An Anti-Phishing Code is a personalized code that only you know. Once you've set it up, this code will be displayed at the top of legitimate Coinhako emails (where supported). It serves as a quick and reliable way to verify the authenticity of our communications.
If you receive an email claiming to be from Coinhako but your anti-phishing code is missing, treat it as suspicious. Do not click on any links or provide any personal information. Please note that this does not apply for support ticket emails (see below for more information).

Where Will I See My Anti-Phishing Code?

Your anti-phishing code will appear in only certain types of emails from Coinhako:

Why some channels don’t have the anti-phishing code?

  1. Support ticket emails (sent from Zoho) are direct responses to user-initiated issues and currently do not support anti-phishing code due to platform limitations.
  2. SMS messages also do not support anti-phishing code at this time.

Only Trust Official Coinhako Email Addresses

To help you identify legitimate Coinhako messages, we maintain a list of our official email addresses.

  1. If your email is from an official Coinhako address and contains your anti-phishing code (when applicable), it’s legitimate.
  2. If either the sender is suspicious or your anti-phishing code is missing (in emails where it should appear), do not interact.

Why Is This Important?

Scammers often send emails or SMS messages that appear to come from Coinhako. These may:

  1. Link to fake websites designed to steal your credentials
  2. Request personal information like passwords or 2FA codes
  3. Try to trick you into sending digital assets

Your anti-phishing code gives you a clear, personal identifier to help you distinguish real Coinhako emails from fakes.

Your anti-phishing code is:

  1. Private – known only to you
  2. Unique – tied to your Coinhako account
  3. Static – remains the same unless you choose to change it
Please note that: Coinhako will never ask for your anti-phishing code, password, or 2FA code via email, phone, or messaging.

What Should You Do If Your Code Is Missing or Compromised?

If you receive a suspicious notification from Coinhako (that is neither a support ticket email or SMS message) that lacks your anti-phishing code, take the following actions:

  1. Do not click on any links or download attachments.
  2. Verify the sender’s address and double-check the domain.
  3. Report the notification to our Support Team.

What about SMS Messages?

SMS messages do not include an anti-phishing code, but that doesn’t mean you’re unprotected. Here's how you can determine if an SMS from Coinhako is legitimate:
  1. Coinhako only sends SMS messages in response to actions you've taken, such as:
    1. Logging in or completing 2FA
    2. Completing KYC (identity verification) steps
    3. Withdrawing funds or digital assets
    4. Requesting account verification codes
  2. If you receive an SMS that:
    1. Refers to actions you did not perform
    2. Contains suspicious links or urges immediate action
    3. Asks for sensitive information
    4. ...treat it as suspicious, and do not engage.
