In July 2025, it became known about the leak of the database of the Japanese division of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, containing confidential data of over 35,000 users. According to Cybernews, the leak disclosed 26 million files with usernames, names, emails, addresses, and transaction information, credits, and margin rates. Some records date back to July 2024, which raises questions about the complete cessation of FTX's activities after its collapse in 2022. Experts suggest that the leak may be related to systems that remained active or the activities of the company Custodiem, which acquired FTX Japan's assets.
This incident highlights the vulnerability of crypto platforms even after bankruptcy. Customers risk facing phishing and fraud, as the data may be used by malicious actors. In May 2024, a similar incident occurred with Coinbase, further worsening the trust situation in the industry. FTX is already refunding customers, but new leaks threaten the market's reputation.
