Scammers are misusing leaked data to send fraudulent emails from FTX, misconfirm successful identity verification, and seduce recipients to click on malicious links that lead to qualification theft and malware installation.
Phishing attempts to target claimants prior to the next creditor’s payment. The FTX and FTX Recovery Trust plans have developed plans to begin distribution of $1.9 billion to creditors on September 30 after the Bankruptcy Court’s dispute claim reserve was reduced from $6.5 billion to $4.3 billion.
This will be the third major payment, following previous distributions of $1.2 billion and $5 billion at the beginning of the year. Future distributions exclude creditors from certain countries, such as China, where their claims have not yet been approved.
Creditors are encouraged to access the billing portal only through the billing items.
