Multiple reports on social media warn of a data breach at financial and risk advisory company Kroll that resulted in exposing to an unauthorized third-party the personal data of some credit claimants.
Kroll is facilitating claims for insolvent companies FTX, BlockFi, and Genesis Global Holdco.
FTX and BlockFi posted on X today that a security incident at Kroll involving unauthorized third-party access on its systems exposed "Limited, non-sensitive customer data of specific claimants."
Although Genesis has not published anything about the case, CoinDesk editor Rob Mitchell shared a notice from the firm about the data breach earlier today, where it is mentioned that Kroll's incident resulted from a SIM swapping attack on one of their employee's T-Mobile numbers.
It should be noted that Kroll handles restructuring cases for hundreds of entities, so if the firm suffered a data breach, the incident might impact many more organizations and people than just the three mentioned crypto-investment companies and their creditors.
