HK Regulator Flags 65 Fake Websites Impersonating Licensed Crypto Exchange HashKey

Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has identified 65 fake websites impersonating licensed cryptocurrency exchange HashKey, warning investors to remain vigilant against potential scams.

The SFC alert underscores the growing threat of phishing and impersonation in the digital asset sector, where bad actors exploit the credibility of regulated platforms.

This is not the first time the SFC has taken action against impersonation scams. In recent years, the regulator has consistently issued alerts about unlicensed platforms and phishing attempts, reflecting a broader effort to safeguard investors in a rapidly evolving market.
