However, it assured the community that Kroll was directly notifying the impacted claimants of measures they could take to protect themselves.<\/p>\n<p>FTX said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kroll has assured the FTX [claimants] that it promptly contained and remediated the incident, and the FTX [claimants] are closely monitoring the situation.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, FTX advised its users to be alert for any scam or fraud emails that might impersonate parties in the bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s5\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">What happened?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the public posts from the bankrupt firm claimed that the data compromise was from a security incident, an email sent to FTX claimants <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sunil_trades\/status\/1694948875142943098?s=20\">explained<\/a> that the hackers gained control of the phone number of a Kroll employee and used that to access files stored in the company's cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The email did not specify when Kroll discovered the incident but stated that it promptly secured the affected account and launched investigations.

However, the incident did not affect its internal systems and client funds.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We can also confirm that BlockFi account passwords were never stored on Kroll's platform.
