Investors of bankrupt cryptocurrency companies BlockFi and FTX are now targeted by scammers.
BlockFi and FTX’s creditors have been targeted by scammers. Using email-based phishing scams, cyber attackers stole 5 million dollars worth of NFT cryptocurrency in the past week.
Blockchain security expert Plumferno stated that the cyber attackers deceived the creditors of bankrupt BlockFi, FTX, and related companies with promises such as “you can collect your repayments through this link.”
Plumferno noted that the email addresses of these creditors may have been obtained from stolen data from the email service Mailer Lite, which was compromised in January.
In the details of his post, he emphasized that some of these victims may still not have realized they have been robbed.
The worst part of this scam is that most of the assets were stolen from inactive wallets. Most likely, these are people affected by the BlockFi bankruptcy who have not touched their funds since then. It’s also possible that some of these victims are still unaware that they have been robbed.
