After several reports, FTX warned users to avoid installing app upgrades via its official Telegram account. The company even said that consumers need to delete their applications.

"FTX has been hacked. FTX apps are malware. Delete them. Chat is open. Don't go on FTX site as it might download Trojans," said an FTX account administrator.

Affected cryptocurrencies include Solana, Binance Smart Chain tokens, as well as Ethereum tokens. Officials said that these digital coins were transferred to decentralized exchanges, such as 1inch.

FTX Now Investigating the Breach

FTX General Counsel Ryne Miller said, via his official Twitter account, that they are already investigating the alleged security hack.

He announced that FTX US and FTX are both initiating precautionary steps to transfer all their digital assets to cold storage.

The official further stated that they are already expediting processes in order to mitigate damage.

In the comment section, some Twitter users shared their opinions. One of them even believed that the breach is an inside job. 

Since FTX is still investigating the alleged hack, if you are among the concerned users, the best thing you can do is wait for the company's further announcements.
