FTX Users Receive 'Reset Password' Request Emails, May Be Targeted in Potential Phishing Attacks

Several users of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX have been the target of a potential phishing attack after receiving a "reset password" request via email from the exchange's official customer support email, CoinDesk reported. The password reset link is routed to the FTX claims website. Mossab Hussein, co-founder of cybersecurity firm Spidersilk, said either FTX itself sent the emails and caused panic among people. Or, someone got hold of the "list" of these emails and brute force reset their credentials through the web portal. If hackers gain access to users' personal email addresses, they can access claimants' accounts and transfer funds to their personal wallets.
