Consumer warning: Data breach at Kroll, class action and bankruptcy administrator

@MISTERCHEAP mods can mirror in class action forum? it would help to have visibility in both
Fans of class actions on phatwallet will be disheartened to find out that Kroll has been hit with a major data breach. Ironically, they lost their data from a T-Mobile SIM swap/hijack from a phishing email sent to one of Kroll’s employees.
Kroll is stating that only data from its bankruptcy division that is handling the major crypto companies (FTX, BlockFi) bankruptcy proceedings are currently affected.
But as we on phatwallet know, it’s only a matter of time before the phishing emails target their class action business, likely due to the fact that a lot of class actions are “take action, claim your money on paypal or zelle or wherever” emails.
Be on the lookout for possible spear-phishing emails impersonating Kroll.

@ctujackbauer unfortunately there is no mirror capability on phat (like they had on fat), so best advice, post this over there as a duplicate. We won’t touch either understanding its importance to the community. Thanks.

@my4mainecoons said in Consumer warning: Data breach at Kroll, class action and bankruptcy administrator:
who/what is Kroll?
class action and bankruptcy administrator company. so their data includes paypal/venmo type info/accounts which is what @ctujackbauer is warning about, that the hackers could try to scam people who have received payouts from Kroll in the past when they processed class action payment awards.
