The access of afflicted users to FTX’s claims page has been temporarily suspended, according to the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange. This choice was made in response to a cybersecurity incident at Kroll, which is the company in charge of keeping track of FTX’s continuing bankruptcy proceedings as the designated claims and notification agent.
The statement, which was published on social media site X (formerly known as Twitter), emphasises FTX’s proactive effort to protecting its consumers and assets. Non-sensitive information about claimants participating in the bankruptcy case was made public as a result of the Kroll breach. FTX has strongly advised its consumers in response to any worries.
Users are strongly advised not to adjust their claims or the approved schedules in light of the occurrence, according to the exchange.
The security of its infrastructure remains a top priority for FTX notwithstanding the alarming circumstances surrounding the incident. It has been stated by the exchange that “the security of account passwords, internal systems, and financial assets remains uncompromised.”

In order to secure their own safety against potential threats, the company is actively counselling them on preventative actions.
But things have changed in a worrying way. A well-known blockchain expert named ZachXBT has warned that phishing emails have started to target FTX clients. The crypto community is alarmed by this news because it raises the possibility that personal data may have been compromised.
