A recent crypto theft from Fortress Trust has been traced back to a phishing attack on a cloud vendor. According to reports, the cloud vendor, which is yet to be identified, had been the victim of a phishing attack earlier in the year, which allowed the hackers to gain access to customer accounts and compromise them.
It is believed that the hackers were able to gain access to Fortress Trust’s system and gain control of crypto assets stored on their platform. The attack was discovered last week, and the funds were quickly returned to the customer. However, it is believed that the hacker, or hackers, responsible for the attack are still at large and have not been identified.
The incident highlights the need for organizations to take measures to secure their systems and data from sophisticated cyber attacks such as phishing. Such attacks can be difficult to detect and can lead to significant financial losses if not addressed quickly. Companies need to be proactive in addressing such threats, including investing in advanced security systems and procedures to detect and prevent such attacks. It is also important for organizations to ensure that their cloud vendors have robust security measures in place to protect their customers’ data and information from any malicious actors.
