Blockfolio is one of the popular crypto apps with more than 6 million users. The app was acquired by crypto exchange FTX last August in a $150 million deal.  

FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said the hack was on the news/signal feeds of Blockfolio, and the remaining services remain intact.

"Over the next month, I'll be leading a security review of the old, non-trading-related parts of Blockfolio to bring them in line with the standards set by trading and by FTX more generally," he said, adding:

"We're giving $10 to every [user] trading in Blockfolio, and the next ones who sign up this week."
