FTX claimant data compromised in Kroll ‘cybersecurity incident
Kroll, the bankruptcy claims agent of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, suffered a “cybersecurity incident” that compromised certain non-sensitive user data.
FTX tweeted today that Kroll is informing affected individuals about measures they can take to protect themselves.
“FTX account passwords were not maintained by Kroll, and FTX’s own systems were not affected,” FTX said.
The bankrupt exchange warned claimants to “remain on high alert for attempted fraud and scam emails impersonating parties in the bankruptcy.”

Earlier this week, FTX said it is looking to Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital to help manage its crypto holdings.
In April, FTX said it had recovered over $7.3 billion in cash and liquid crypto assets.
