FTX Underestimates Severity of Data Breach at Kroll

FTX initially downplayed the severity of a cybersecurity breach at bankruptcy claims agent Kroll, but new information reveals a different story. In stark contradiction to FTX’s previous claim of “non-sensitive data compromised,“ a recent summary report indicates that personal data, including email addresses, account numbers, and phone numbers, was among the compromised information. This exposes affected users to a multitude of security risks, including phishing attempts, a reality that is already materializing as several users report receiving suspicious emails posing as communications from Kroll.
