“Offensive content was produced and published by a competitor exchange of ours who maliciously gained access to someone else's Blockfolio News/Signal capabilities.”
Sam condemned the actions of the competitor at fault here whose name wasn’t revealed and announced a donation to organizations to “help move the world forward, not backward.” He added,
“We have always and will always strive to work with others in the industry–whether customers, builders, or competitors. We will rise and fall together, and this industry has no place for this behavior.”
The chief executive also said that over the course of next month, they would conduct a security review of the app to “bring them in line with the standards set by trading, and by FTX more generally.”
