Security News > 2023 > September > Claimants in Celsius crypto bankruptcy targeted in phishing attack
Scammers are impersonating the bankruptcy claim agent for crypto lender Celsius in phishing attacks that attempt to steal funds from cryptocurrency wallets.
Over the past few days, people have reported receiving phishing emails pretending to be from Stretto, the Claims Agent for the Celsius bankruptcy proceeding.
A recipient shared the phishing email with BleepingComputer, which claims to offer creditors a 7-day exit window to claim their frozen funds.
The phishing email includes a link to the website case-stretto[.
As these phishing emails originate from 149.72.171.199, which belongs to the email marketing firm SendGrid, they pass the SPF check and are allowed for delivery.
A recipient of one of these phishing emails told BleepingComputer that they did not have an account at Celsius and never filed as a creditor, making it strange that they received this email.
