Former FTX customers Victim of Phishing Attacks
Good day everyone,
I hope you are all well and having excellent day, welcome to CryptoGod-1’s blog on all things crypto.
Several months after the shutdown of the FTX exchange, users are grappling with persisting issues that have locked them out of their capital stored on the platform.
Former FTX customers have now fallen victim to a new phishing attack targeting their registered email addresses linked to the exchange.
“You have been identified as an eligible client to begin withdrawing digital assets from your FTX account,” read an email received by several creditors to the exchange this week.
The email included instructions to withdraw USDC stablecoins to an external ERC-20 wallet, based on the balance held within their accounts at the time that the exchange collapsed.
“Withdrawals may take 90 days or more to process once submitted,” the scam email continued .”FTX will process withdrawals as quickly as possible while maintaining security protocols.”
The scam comes just a week after Kroll — the claims agent overseeing the bankruptcy proceedings of FTX — suffered a SIM-swapping attack exposing personal customer info including account balances, phone numbers, and residential addresses.
