Hackers have compromised the customer data of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX and lender BlockFi.
The “unauthorized third party” hacked Kroll, a third party agent that manages creditor claims on behalf of bankrupt companies, to gain access to the data.
Customers have been warned to be on the lookout for scammers impersonating parties in the bankruptcy.
Internal systems at both crypto firms remain intact but fears that the personal information of customers could be exploited by malicious actors linger.
Kroll is a bankruptcy service provider for numerous companies, not just in the crypto sector. Kroll also provides services for Genesis Global Capital, a crypto firm which filed for bankruptcy in January.
FTX and BlockFi both filed for bankruptcy in November last year. Both firms are undergoing legal proceedings to wind up and restore funds to creditors.
