SwissBorg Launches Withdrawal Protection to Counter Physical Crypto Extortion

• Users are able to choose a delay period that may last anywhere from one to ninety days, during which time they are unable to withdraw funds.
• Physical assaults that are based on fear and a sense of urgency are discouraged by Withdrawal Protection because it eliminates the potential of rapid rewards.
• Even in the event that a user is compelled to unlock their device and start a withdrawal, the application will still impose the waiting time.

The prominent leading app in Europe for investing and earning cryptocurrency, SwissBorg, just made an announcement on the availability of Withdrawal Protection. This new security feature protects users against the increasing number of physical “wrench” assaults by imposing a time-lock that cannot be bypassed on all cryptocurrency withdrawals. This prevents the immediate transfer of assets out of a user’s account.

In light of the growing number of extortion attempts in the real world that include gaining unauthorized access to cryptocurrency wallets, there is a pressing need for additional protective measures on the human level. Withdrawal Protection is a strategy that was developed to confront and protect against this new and rising issue. A required, non-bypassable time-lock is applied to all cryptocurrency withdrawals when the feature is engaged. This prevents the immediate transfer of assets out of a user’s account during the withdrawal process. Users are able to choose a delay period that may last anywhere from one to ninety days, during which time they are unable to withdraw funds.

Physical assaults that are based on fear and a sense of urgency are discouraged by Withdrawal Protection because it eliminates the potential of rapid rewards. Even in the event that a user is compelled to unlock their device and start a withdrawal, the application will still impose the waiting time, which will theoretically prevent the user from having rapid access to their assets.

The function is intended to be a “set and forget” safety protection once it is activated. After being activated in the security settings of the application, the delay that was determined will apply to all cryptocurrency withdrawals. There is no way to circumvent the wait, not even by SwissBorg support, which guarantees that the feature will continue to serve as an advantageous deterrent. At any moment, users have the ability to remove the Withdrawal Protection feature; nevertheless, the same wait period will apply until withdrawals are returned to immediately accessible status.

Within the SwissBorg app, trading and asset management are not impacted by the Withdrawal Protection feature. As usual, users are able to continue exchanging assets, managing portfolios, and making use of internal services. However, cryptocurrency withdrawals made outside of the SwissBorg ecosystem will continue to be time constrained. Also unaffected are internal transfers such as Smart Send, which necessitates the recipient’s Know Your Customer (KYC) documents.

SwissBorg has spent years developing a solid digital security architecture, which includes MPC keyless technology and visible Proof of Liabilities. As a result, the app is now considered to be one of the most secure places for the management of crypto assets. The implementation of Withdrawal Protection is a supplementary measure to SwissBorg’s more comprehensive “defense in depth” security approach. This strategy incorporates MPC keyless technology, Proof of Liabilities, and now a specific precaution against physical coercion.

It is possible to enable Withdrawal Protection by going to the Security section of a user’s profile, which is accessible in the most recent version of the SwissBorg app.
