Security & Fraud Awareness

Security education is an essential part of the GHB corporate experience. This section explains safe account habits, warning signs of phishing, and the distinctive risks of crypto networks. Technical architecture, custody arrangements and insurance claims described in the concept document must be independently verified before being presented as operational security features.

THE GHB PERSPECTIVE

Protect your identity and accounts

Simple habits that make a meaningful difference.

01

Never share verification codes

Legitimate support teams should not ask for passwords, one-time codes, private keys or recovery phrases.

02

Check website addresses carefully

Open banking services through trusted bookmarks and independently verified domains. Be cautious of links sent unexpectedly.

03

Report suspicious activity

Do not send funds to a so-called safe account. A future official fraud channel must be verified before any reporting instructions are published.

THE GHB PERSPECTIVE

Digital-asset security basics

Network accuracy matters as much as account security.

01

BTC is its own network

Bitcoin network addresses and transactions are not interchangeable with Ethereum ERC20 or TRON TRC20 destinations.

02

USDT network selection

ERC20 and TRC20 stand-ins are separate testnet representations. Selecting the wrong network in a real system can lead to unrecoverable loss.

03

Testnet means no real value

The simulated project must display clear testnet identifiers and should never present demonstration balances as spendable real assets.

PRODUCT DETAILS & SERVICE TERMS

Security architecture

Client digital assets are intended to be held in multi-signature or MPC wallet infrastructure, with the majority in cold storage. Client assets are intended to be strictly segregated from GHB's own assets at all times, under both the onshore and offshore perimeters. VARA mandates multi-signature or MPC security and strict segregation, and DFSA/FSRA rules impose parallel custody standards on the offshore entity. GHB's architecture is built to exceed those requirements, not merely meet them.

PRODUCT DETAILS & SERVICE TERMS

Insurance

GHB will maintain insurance coverage for client digital assets covering a minimum of 10% of average client assets, as required under VARA rules. The intended offshore entity will maintain parallel coverage consistent with DFSA or FSRA requirements. Details of the insurance arrangements are available to clients on request.

What GHB will never do

We will never ask for your password, your private keys, or your one-time passcode by email, phone, or SMS. We will never ask you to move funds to a "safe account." If someone claiming to be from GHB does any of these things, they are not from GHB.
