Business and legal services provider Kroll said it’s cooperating with federal law enforcement after a hacker gained access to files that may have contained personal information for customers of bankrupt crypto platforms FTX, BlockFi Inc. and Genesis Global Holdco.
Kroll said Friday it appears the attack occurred on or about August 19 and that the company is cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kroll took immediate action to secure the three affected accounts and “a full investigation is underway,” the company said in a statement.
