Scammers are exploiting the leaked data to send fraudulent emails that appear to be from FTX, falsely confirming successful identity verification and luring recipients into clicking malicious links that could lead to credential theft or malware installation.
The phishing attempts target claimants ahead of the next round of creditor payouts. FTX and FTX Recovery Trust plan to start distributing $1.9 billion to creditors on September 30, after the reduction of the disputed claims reserve from $6.5 billion to $4.3 billion by the Bankruptcy Court.
This will be the third major payout, following prior distributions of $1.2 billion and $5 billion earlier in the year. The upcoming distribution excludes creditors from certain countries, such as China, where their claims have yet to be approved.
Creditors are advised to access claim portals only through official URLs, including claims.ftx.com, kraken.com, bitgo.com, and digitalmarketsclaim.pwc.com.
