Bitget Wallet reports sevenfold jump in crypto phishing risk alerts

What happened: Bitget Wallet said its weekly average of signing requests flagged for potential phishing rose 7.4-fold in Q3 2026, and it is expanding AI-assisted threat detection. Key numbers: About 37,000 flagged requests per week in Q3, up from 5,000 in Q2. AI identified 90% of newly blocked risky domains in October versus 36% in Q2. Why it matters: The COO said the rise likely reflects both greater threat activity and improved detection, though the data cannot quantify each factor. The tally counts flagged signing interactions, not unique attacks or confirmed losses.
