While using the OKX app, you may encounter a warning stating that your device appears to be operating in an unsafe environment, potentially leading to security risks. This warning is a security alert from the OKX system, indicating that it has detected an anomaly in your device's operating environment. This means the way you currently use OKX may lead to information leakage, potentially resulting in the theft or transfer of your OKX assets by Trojan viruses or hackers.

Previously, this issue could cause the OKX App to crash in order to protect your assets. While this ensured security, it did cause some inconvenience for users. Currently, OKX has implemented technical optimizations: if an abnormal mobile environment is detected, you will only receive a security alert instead of the app crashing. You are advised to address any issues in your device environment to ensure that the OKX app is used in a secure environment, helping to prevent potential asset theft or loss.

Notes

What is an anomaly in your device's operating environment?

The OKX system will send security prompts when you use your device in the following situations: root, emulator, debug, hook, and virtual environments, among others. It's important to know that having a rooted device can increase your susceptibility to viruses, system instability, and privacy leaks.

Android devices do not enable root by default. If a device is rooted, malware could exploit the root privileges to attack the system, creating unnecessary security threats. For this reason, when the OKX app detects that your device is rooted, you will receive a security prompt to help prevent the loss of assets.
