Kraken says insider related incidents affected 2,000 client accounts, but no funds were at risk

Crypto exchange Kraken has confirmed that two separate insider-related security incidents impacted approximately 2,000 client accounts. Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco stated that the issues involved unauthorized access by support team members to client support data, rather than a breach of the exchange's core systems. The firm terminated the involved employees and confirmed that no client funds were at risk. Following these events, a criminal group attempted to extort the company with threats of publicizing the accessed data, but Kraken has refused to pay and is currently working with federal law enforcement to identify those responsible.
