🚨HUGE COINBASE DATA LEAK

BE CAREFUL AND CAUTIOUS

Cybercriminals bribed and recruited a group of customer support employees to gain access to data (passport photos, emails, balances, addresses) of #Coinbase customers and use social engineering techniques.

These insiders took advantage of access to backup systems and stole account data from a small number of users.

Coinbase statements:

"We are compensating for losses that were defrauded by local funds broadcasting to the attackers"

"We will not be paying the mandatory $20 million ransom in the community. Instead, we will create a $20 million reward fund for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible"
