The firm confirmed that customers’ funds remain safe and no big damage was witnessed.

“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. It added that “no server, wallet, or database infrastructure was accessed” while confirming that the law enforcement agencies have been notified regarding the incident. The 2012-founded exchange also said that “at no time were customer assets on the platform at risk, nor was password information accessible.”
Bitfinex, tüm çalışanlarının düzenli olarak siber güvenlik eğitimlerinden geçmesi gerektiğini ve güvenlik prosedürlerini sürekli gözden geçirdiğini söyledi.
“Bitfinex has a very close relationship with law enforcement and will be working with investigation authorities to track down the perpetrator of this minor security incident. 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.
It is also important to note that almost $600,000 in Bitcoin (BTC) were stolen from users who downloaded a fake Ledger Live application on Microsoft’s app store, as per blockchain investigator ZachXBT.
