Secondo il 4 novembre dichiarazione, Bitfinex said that it had “resolved a minor information security incident, discovered earlier this week,” while adding:

“A small portion of our customer support boards, which held partial, incomplete, and stale information, was accessed by an individual or group through the phishing of a customer support agent who did not have senior permissions and therefore had only limited access to supporting tools and helpdesk tickets.”

Bitfinex also confirmed that none of its systems were compromised and users’ funds were safe.

We have a strong track record of securing successful convictions against individuals who have attempted to attack our operations in the past,” the exchange further added.
