Former assistant manager of the US Secret Service Office of Investigations Jeremy Sheridan has issued a warning that some FTX customers may be goals if their particular information were made public.
Sheridan backed a movement from the debt that would deny some private material of FTX users in an April 20 contract filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Sheridan, who is currently the managing director of FTI Consulting, claims that disclosing the names of clients connected to the defunct cryptocurrency exchange carries a serious and unexpected risk of identity theft, asset thefts, personal attacks, and additional interactive victimization.
According to Sheridan, if Individual Customer Names are made people in these Chapter 11 Cases, this information will give potential criminals a list of their most defenseless victims. In particular, it may give criminals access to a variety of potential targets by disclosing the debtor's's schedule of assets and liabilities, as well as each of their customers' cryptocurrency holdings.
Sheridan claims that FTX customers with large amounts of cryptocurrency had effectively have a target on their backs and might fall victim to scams by con artists prying into their pockets. He provided examples of typical on schemes carried out via email and social media, such as creating fictitious businesses and romantic relationships, SIM transfers, and phishing attacks.
High visibility incidents like the Book 11 Cases inspire, motivate, and attract perpetrators of fraud and online attacks. The fact that cryptocurrency is definitely a desirable target for criminals because it is simple to sell, rapid, worldwide, and faux private adds to this environment.
In January, the legal department representing FTX debt published a list of the creditors who were owed money by the transaction. The names and personal information of the over 10 million users had been redacted, though. The correction has been criticized by a number of media outlets, including Bloomberg and The New York Times, who asserted that the press and public were entitled to access to the information.
In addition to expressing concern that users might be put in danger if their names became public, Judge John Dorsey extended the deadline for redaction of business information until April 20. When the extension was about to expire, FTX lenders and the council of unsecured creditors made a movement asking the bankruptcy court to review the revision order. Depending on concerns raised, the situation is scheduled for a May 17 audience.
