Security: Attempted Account Attacks

Protect your 3Commas account: learn about attempted login attacks, how to secure your email, and why 2FA and unique passwords matter.

Updated this week

The cryptocurrency industry is a frequent target of cyberattacks, and 3Commas is no exception.

Attackers often try to log in using stolen email and password combinations from third-party data breaches.

Important: These credentials are not taken from 3Commas. They come from leaks on unrelated websites and services.

Have I Been Compromised?

You can check if your email address or other personal information appears in known breaches using: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Keep in mind:

  • This database does not include every breach.

  • Even if your email is not listed, your details may still have been exposed elsewhere.

What To Do If You Suspect Compromise

  1. Change your email password immediately.

    If your email is compromised, attackers can request password resets on all services linked to that account.

  2. Change your 3Commas password (and any other financial accounts such as PayPal, Amazon, etc.).

  3. Review your account security on all platforms you use.

Remember: following strong security practices is essential to keeping your accounts and trades safe.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is Essential

We strongly recommend enabling 2FA to protect your 3Commas account.

  • 2FA prevents unauthorized logins even if your password is stolen.

  • Set it up in just a few minutes.

Use Unique Passwords

Even a strong password is unsafe if reused across multiple sites.

  • If one service is breached, hackers may try the same credentials elsewhere.

  • Using unique passwords ensures that a compromise on one site does not affect your other accounts.

Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords.

Make Your Trading Fraud-Proof

Remember:

  • 3Commas does not store your money and cannot withdraw funds from your exchange account.

  • However, strong security practices are still essential to keep your accounts and funds safe.
