Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month 2026, Recovers $32.3 Million for Users

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The annual initiative focuses on helping users navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape as digital asset platforms expand beyond crypto into broader multi-asset ecosystems.

The campaign is accompanied by the release of key security and fraud prevention results from 2025. During the year, Bitget intercepted more than 150 million malicious attack requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, and handled 18,135 user protection cases. The platform’s security team also helped users recover approximately $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraudulent activity.

“The industry is entering a multi-asset era where users can access a wider range of products and markets through a single platform. As that access expands, security responsibilities increase too,” said Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget. “Protecting users requires continuous risk monitoring, rapid response mechanisms, security education, and close cooperation across the industry. Anti-Scam Month reflects the importance of building those protections alongside product innovation.”

Throughout 2025, Bitget continued to strengthen its security framework across account protection, asset custody, fraud prevention, and platform risk management. The platform expanded Passkey authentication capabilities based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards, enhanced multi-factor authentication coverage for high-risk account actions, strengthened anti-phishing protections, and improved device management controls that allow users to monitor and manage account access in real time.

Bitget also expanded its real-time threat detection and web security infrastructure in 2025. Security systems recorded more than 2.8 billion interceptions through custom protection rules and mitigated over 1.5 billion DDoS-related attack attempts. The platform’s monitoring capabilities were further enhanced through machine learning-based behavioral analysis designed to identify suspicious activity and emerging threats across multiple layers of the ecosystem.

User education remained a major focus of Bitget’s security strategy. Anti-Scam Month campaigns conducted across 2024 and 2025 reached approximately 1.38 billion users globally through security awareness content, educational resources, and community engagement initiatives. The company also expanded its Anti-Scam Hub, maintained its public bug bounty program, and introduced interactive initiatives such as the Smarter Eyes Challenge, which attracted close to 50,000 participants through simulated phishing and scam detection exercises.

Bitget continued to collaborate with leading blockchain security organizations, including SlowMist and Elliptic, to support threat intelligence sharing, anti-fraud research, and broader industry awareness efforts. Through a combination of platform security, user education, and industry cooperation, the company continues to invest in creating a safer environment for users navigating digital and tokenized financial markets.

Space42’s Three Foresight Satellites Enter Full Operation

The colors reflect surface geometry (the direction structures face), roughness, and dielectric properties.

  • Foresight-3, -4, and -5 are now in service following their November 2025 launch 
  • Expanded coverage increases revisit rates across high-demand regions
  • Integrated Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and AI capabilities deliver fast, reliable, all-weather intelligence

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Space42, the UAE-based AI-powered SpaceTech company with global reach, today announced that the Foresight-3, Foresight-4, and Foresight-5 satellites are fully operational. This milestone advances the Foresight Earth Observation (EO) constellation, now comprising five Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, enabling continuous data acquisition and decision-grade geospatial intelligence.

The three satellites were manufactured in partnership with ICEYE in Finland, supporting technology transfer and sustainable access to capabilities, while localizing the supply chain. Aligned with this mandate, critical integration and testing processes were completed at Space42’s Space Systems’ Assembly, Integration and Testing (AIT) facility in Abu Dhabi.

Hasan Al Hosani, CEO of Smart Solutions at Space42, said: “With Foresight-3, -4, and -5 now live, we are expanding sovereign Earth observation with greater speed and consistency to governments, industries, and partners worldwide. The collaboration with ICEYE and proven operational success within the Space42 Space Systems facility, has strengthened national capability to a level that competes with and scales across global markets. The constellation further delivers against our strategy to become the preferred partner for premium geospatial data, while growing the UAE’s position in a dynamic, mission-critical industry.”

YAS Island Abu Dhabi

Expanded Coverage and Faster Insight
Foresight-3, -4, and -5 were launched into mid-inclined, Low Earth Orbit to extend coverage, strengthening monitoring across strategically important regions where more than 90% of the world’s population resides. The Foresight constellation provides SAR imagery to Space42’s AI-powered geospatial intelligence platform, GIQ, which converts raw data into decision-grade intelligence within minutes. By operating across complementary orbits, the system maintains consistent performance at all times of day.

It delivers 25-centimeter resolution and all-weather imaging, enabling reliable detection of small-scale changes on Earth from space. GIQ processes this data into actionable outputs, helping reduce emergency response times by up to 90%, predictive maintenance costs by up to 30%, and operational inefficiencies by up to 25%.

Global Demand and UAE Leadership
Demand for EO is accelerating as governments and industries rely on geospatial intelligence to manage risk, optimize operations, and support climate and security objectives. By 2030, EO insights are projected to generate more than $700 billion in economic value and contribute to emissions reduction across multiple sectors.

The UAE is positioning itself as a leading supplier of advanced EO capabilities, supported by its National Space Strategy 2030 and investments in sovereign infrastructure, AI integration, and local manufacturing. The expansion of Space42’s Foresight constellation supports this ambition by combining space-based data acquisition with AI-driven analytics.

Mavenir and TextNow Win Best MVNO and Industry Collaboration at MVNOs World Awards

Award-winning collaboration delivers transformative results: eSIM activations surge from 2% to 94% in six months and paid subscribers more than double year-over-year

RICHARDSON, Texas and WATERLOO, Ontario, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the software company building mobile networks that are AI-by-design, and TextNow, the leading ad-supported U.S. free wireless service, have been jointly awarded Best MVNO and Industry Collaboration at the MVNOs World Awards in Amsterdam. The award recognizes the pair’s collaboration to redefine real-time entitlement control for a freemium, ad-supported, and paid mobile service operating at scale across the United States and Canada.

Mavenir and TextNow win Best MVNO and Industry Collaboration at the MVNOs World Awards

TextNow serves more than 10 million monthly active users, many moving fluidly between freemium, ad-supported, time-bound, and paid plans within the same day. Sustaining that flexibility at scale, consistent, real-time service enforcement, demanded a fundamentally different approach to MVNO architecture.

Mavenir’s integrated BSS, Converged Charging System (CCS), Packet Core, and IMS were deployed as a unified control plane, repositioning CCS as the real-time entitlement authority driving network behavior rather than a back-office billing platform. Entitlement changes including ad engagement, SIM activation, plan upgrades and quota exhaustion are now enforced instantly in the network, without manual reconciliation or delayed synchronization. The business impact has been transformative: eSIM activations grew from 2% to 94% of all new activations within six months of deployment, while paid wireless subscribers more than doubled year over year.

Derek Ting, CEO of TextNow: “We exist to prove reliable wireless service doesn’t have to be expensive. Mavenir’s integrated platform gave us real-time control over every aspect of the customer experience, from instant eSIM activation to seamless transitions between free and paid plans, while fundamentally improving our unit economics at scale. This award validates the architecture, but what matters most is what it unlocks: the ability to keep pushing the boundaries of what a free wireless service can deliver to millions of customers.”

The deployment, built on a 5G-first, active-active geo-redundant design, delivers 99.999% availability for carrier-grade operations. A no-code and low-code configuration model has accelerated time-to-market by decoupling offer creation from engineering cycles, while direct SIM ownership enabled eSIM adoption and materially improved the customer activation journey by allowing new subscribers to activate service instantly, entirely within the app.

Pardeep Kohli, Chief Executive Officer, Mavenir: “This award is a testament to what becomes possible when BSS and Core are truly integrated. TextNow pushed the boundaries of what an MVNO can be, and Mavenir’s architecture rose to meet that ambition. Together, we proved that cloud-native, open network software is not just viable for complex digital MVNOs – it is the enabler.”

The MVNOs World Awards, organized by Informa in Amsterdam, recognizes excellence across the virtual network operator industry. The Best MVNO and Industry Collaboration category honors partnerships that demonstrate measurable impact through joint innovation.

About Mavenir
Mavenir is enabling intelligent, automated, programmable networks through the development of telco-first, cloud-native, AI-by-design software solutions for mobile operators. The company’s deep telco domain expertise has been proven through deployments with 300+ operators globally in over 120 countries, which together serve more than 50% of the world’s subscribers.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), the world’s largest cloud- and carrier-neutral data center platform, today announced the establishment of its Malaysia platform, marking a key milestone in its Asia Pacific expansion. The company has planned to develop and scale its data center capacity in Malaysia to approximately 32 megawatts (MW), integrating Malaysia into its global platform designed for interconnection, resilience and scale.

The milestone was commemorated at an inauguration ceremony officiated by YB Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital for Malaysia, Ms. Zuaida Abdullah, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Investment Development, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), En. Wan Murdani, Senior Vice President, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), alongside Digital Realty leadership including Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Govind Choudhary, General Manager, Southeast Asia and India, and Billy Lee, Chairman, CSF Advisers Sdn Bhd & Advisor for Digital Realty in Malaysia.

The event signals Digital Realty’s commitment to supporting Malaysia’s ambition to become a leading digital infrastructure and AI hub in Southeast Asia. Anchored in Cyberjaya, the campus is purpose-built to support Malaysian enterprises of all sizes as they evolve from traditional IT environments to hybrid architectures and AI-driven use cases. Planned as a multi-site deployment, the campus will span three facilities, all connected via dedicated fiber.

  • KUL10 (formerly TelcoHub 1) – An operational, carrier-dense facility with 1.5MW of IT capacity and *one of the most connected data center ecosystems in Malaysia. Digital Realty plans to upgrade the facility to its global standards, expecting to nearly double capacity by Q4 2027.
  • KUL11 – Located approximately 500 meters from KUL10, this is a newly acquired, purpose-built data center with 15MW of IT capacity, designed to support AI and high-performance computing workloads. The facility incorporates energy- and water-efficient design principles to support sustainable digital infrastructure growth.
  • Future expansion site – An adjacent 1.6-acre land parcel located approximately 200 meters from KUL10, where, Digital Realty plans to develop a new 14MW data center. Targeted for completion in mid-2028, the facility is planned to be built to Digital Realty’s global standards and designed to support hybrid colocation and AI-ready deployments.

Together, these assets will form a highly connected platform, to be supported by more than 40 network service providers, alongside a robust ecosystem of cloud and connectivity partners.

Since announcing our planned entry into the Malaysian market in January, Digital Realty has established a multi-site presence in Cyberjaya. This rapid build-out underscores the company’s strong conviction in Malaysia’s long-term role as a regional digital hub and reflects a disciplined strategy of scaling both capacity and connectivity.

These developments establish the foundation of Digital Realty’s growing platform in Malaysia, which will enable enterprises, including cloud and digital businesses to deploy and scale infrastructure within a globally connected data community. By integrating its Cyberjaya facilities into PlatformDIGITAL® and enabling interconnection through ServiceFabric®, Digital Realty will support distributed, AI and data-intensive workloads requiring low-latency, high-performance connectivity across markets.

Customers in Malaysia can gradually connect to Digital Realty’s global ecosystem of more than 300 data centers across 30+ countries, enabling low-latency connectivity and seamless workload deployment across key regional hubs including Singapore and Jakarta.

YB Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital for Malaysia, said, “Digital Realty’s investment marks an important step in strengthening Malaysia’s position as a sovereign, interconnected and sustainable digital infrastructure hub. As demand for cloud, AI and data-driven services continues to accelerate, the development of high-quality, globally connected data center infrastructure will be critical in supporting innovation, attracting investment, and enabling Malaysia’s digital economy to grow with resilience and scale. Investments in advanced digital infrastructure such as this are essential to supporting Malaysia’s AI ambitions and strengthening our position as a regional innovation hub.”

“As demand for AI and data-driven services grows, investments in globally connected digital infrastructure are becoming increasingly important in driving innovation, strengthening regional connectivity and raising Malaysia’s visibility in the global digital economy. Beyond infrastructure, these investments support a wider digital ecosystem that enables businesses to innovate, scale and participate more effectively in regional and global digital value chains. Through the Malaysia Digital (MD) national strategic initiative, MDEC remains focused on attracting catalytic digital investments that strengthen the ecosystem, create high-value opportunities and advance Malaysia’s aspiration of becoming an AI Nation by 2030,” said Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) Chief Executive Officer, Anuar Fariz Fadzil.

Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty, said, “The establishment of our Malaysia presence marks an important milestone in Digital Realty’s Southeast Asia expansion. As digital adoption accelerates and AI-driven workloads become more distributed and latency-sensitive, customers require infrastructure that is scalable and deeply interconnected.

“Malaysia plays a key role as an interconnection hub within our regional footprint, enabling customers to seamlessly deploy and manage workloads across markets. By integrating our Cyberjaya facilities into PlatformDIGITAL, we will extend a connected data community that spans key hubs such as Singapore and Jakarta. The speed at which we have established a multi-site presence reflects strong customer demand and our long-term commitment to supporting Malaysia’s digital growth.”

Billy Lee, Chairman of CSF Advisers Sdn Bhd and Advisor for Malaysia, Digital Realty, said, “TelcoHub 1 was built to be one of Malaysia’s most connected data center facilities, trusted by a diverse ecosystem of enterprises, carriers and cloud providers. Becoming part of Digital Realty enables us to take this foundation further by integrating into a global interconnection platform that spans more than 300 data centers worldwide.

“This evolution delivers immediate value to our customers, who will be able to access a broader interconnection ecosystem and scale their infrastructure beyond Malaysia with greater flexibility. At the same time, our local team remains at the core of this journey, now strengthened by Digital Realty’s global expertise, operational discipline and long-term investment approach.”

Digital Realty’s presence in Malaysia supports a diverse ecosystem of cloud providers, enterprises and network service providers, enabling them to expand and interconnect across the region. The company also plans to grow its local team to support continued operational scale and ecosystem development.

All facilities are designed with a focus on energy-efficient and scalable operations, supporting responsible data center growth in line with Malaysia’s sustainability priorities. This expansion strengthens Malaysia’s role in enabling cross-border data flows and supporting next-generation digital services, while reinforcing Digital Realty’s broader Asia Pacific footprint across key markets including Singapore and Jakarta.

Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month as Multi-Asset Fraud Loss Hits $442 B

Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month as Multi-Asset Fraud Loss Hits $442 B

Bitget Limited

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026, its annual global security initiative running throughout June under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield: Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The initiative expands Bitget’s focus on user protection as digital finance enters a new phase where crypto, tokenized stocks, RWAs, AI-linked products, and broader multi-asset trading environments coexist within the same trading environment.

According to Interpol, financial scams tied to multi-asset markets resulted in more than $442 billion in losses globally in 2025, reflecting a sharp rise in fraud targeting digital asset users. As tokenized financial products continue entering mainstream trading environments, new vulnerabilities are emerging across crypto wallets, phishing systems, fake applications, AI-generated scams, and identity manipulation techniques built to target users operating across multiple asset classes.

Anti-Scam Month 2026 forms part of Bitget’s broader approach to user protection as the platform continues expanding access to crypto, tokenized stocks, commodities, forex, ETFs, and precious metals under its Universal Exchange model. The campaign is built around the idea that broader financial access must be matched by stronger awareness tools as trading behavior increasingly moves between traditional finance and crypto-native environments within the same platform.

“The financial system is becoming increasingly interconnected as users move across crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, and traditional financial markets within the same trading cycle,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “As market access expands, scam tactics are evolving just as quickly. Security today requires more than platform infrastructure. It also highly depends on helping users better recognize risk as financial activity becomes more multi-asset by design.”

Throughout June, Bitget will release a multi-part security article and video series covering common attack vectors including SMS spoofing, fake applications, phishing systems, malicious smart contracts, and high-risk token schemes. The content series will also examine emerging fraud patterns tied to artificial intelligence and tokenized real-world assets, two sectors increasingly attracting both institutional attention and scam activity as adoption accelerates. The final phase of the campaign will include the release of anti-scam reports focused on multi-asset trading and AI-related financial risks, co-authored with onchain security agencies, real-world asset institutions, and AI industry partners. Bitget will also host X Spaces bringing together security researchers, ecosystem contributors, and community participants for live discussions around emerging scam trends and risk mitigation strategies across digital finance.

The launch follows Bitget’s continued expansion of platform security measures, including proof of reserves, the Protection Fund, and wider user education initiatives designed to strengthen account safety and risk awareness. As digital assets increasingly intersect with traditional financial markets, platforms are facing growing expectations to combine broader market access with stronger safeguards for users navigating more complex financial environments.
