 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Zhao said the current surge of phishing attacks targeting FTX users is directly connected to a data leak from FTX’s bankruptcy case claims agent, Kroll. The CEO’s statements come only days after FTX </span><span style="font-weight: 400">announced</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> that its claims agent Kroll suffered a cybersecurity breach, exposing non-sensitive customer data of certain claimants in its pending bankruptcy case.</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">While the exact nature of the attack was not stated at the time, Zhao has revealed that a SIM swap on an employee’s account played a pivotal role in this recent incident. A SIM swap is a harmful strategy in which attackers mislead cellular providers into moving a victim’s phone number to a device controlled by them.&nbsp;</span></p>  
 <div class="quads-location quads-ad124348 " id="quads-ad124348" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;">   
 </div> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">This allows the attackers to obtain authentication codes and other sensitive information associated with the victim’s phone number, circumventing security measures such as two-factor authentication. The broad threat has also forced FTX to suspend activities on its claims portal as </span><span style="font-weight: 400">reported</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> by Coingape yesterday.</span></p> 
 <h2 id="strong-threats-of-phishing-attack-strong"><strong>Threats of Phishing Attack</strong></h2> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The CEO of Binance added that users must take proactive steps to protect themselves against phishing attacks. Zhao’s concern may have stemmed from the fact that phishing attacks represent one of the most deceitful threats in the digital landscape.&nbsp;</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cybercriminals use deceit and psychological manipulation to persuade unsuspecting users to reveal sensitive information ranging from login passwords to financial information. These attacks have the potential to be disastrous, resulting in identity theft, financial loss, and illegal access to sensitive accounts.</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">However, users can create a safer digital environment for themselves, and contribute to the broader defense against cybercriminals by staying informed, remaining vigilant, and adopting robust security measures.</span></p>
