FTX stated on social media X (formerly Twitter) that in response to the Kroll company’s cybersecurity incident, FTX has taken precautionary measures to temporarily freeze the affected user accounts in the customer claims portal.
As previously reported, on August 25, FTX stated that a cybersecurity incident occurred at Kroll, the bankruptcy claims agency, which resulted in the disclosure of non-sensitive customer data of some claimants in the bankruptcy case.
Kroll is directly notifying affected individuals to be vigilant about the scam emails, while FTX’s own systems were unaffected by the incident.
In addition, BlockFi also stated that it was affected by the Kroll data breach and reminded users to be alert to fraudulent information.
