Risk and financial advisory company Kroll has released additional details regarding the August data breach, which exposed the personal information of FTX bankruptcy claimants.
Kroll said the exposed data included coin holdings and balances, which would allow threat actors to pinpoint attractive targets who invest heavily in the cryptocurrency markets.
"Importantly, the incident did not affect any FTX systems or FTX digital assets. Further, Kroll does not maintain passwords to FTX accounts."
Even though Kroll handles restructuring cases for hundreds of organizations, a spokesperson told BleepingComputer after the August breach that the scope of the impact is limited to the FTX, BlockFi, and Genesis Global Holdco crypto-investment companies and their creditors.
Kroll has not yet disclosed the sensitive information belonging to the creditors of BlockFi and Genesis that was also exposed during the breach.
