FTX, a bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, is believed to have restored its customer claims portal with upgraded security protocols. The exchange is expected to have shut down due to a cyberattack. It is believed that claimants can still submit claims for assets they held on the exchange prior to it becoming insolvent, stated Cointelegraph.
Sources revealed that on September 16, 2023, FTX made a statement on X (formerly Twitter), mentioning that none of its systems was affected by the cyber breach involving Kroll, its appointed bankruptcy claims agent, Cointelegraph added.
FTX is expected to have mentioned that account holders of the now-defunct crypto exchange can access their accounts. They will also be allowed to proceed with the claims process for digital assets held on the exchange prior to it declaring bankruptcy in November 2022.
