China's Ministry of State Security has issued a public warning about foreign entities exploiting cryptocurrency token giveaways to harvest iris scans. The collected biometric data is allegedly transmitted overseas, raising concerns over personal privacy breaches and potential national security risks.

Authorities emphasize the dangers of trading sensitive eye data for digital asset rewards. Compromised iris information could facilitate identity theft, espionage, or cyberattacks. Citizens are advised to reject such offers despite their apparent legitimacy.
