CoinVoice has recently learned that crypto detective ZachXBT commented on the recent user data breach incident at Coinbase, pointing out that the exchange's requirement for phone numbers is extremely unsafe. He emphasized that scammers have stolen large amounts of funds by spoofing calls and texts that appear to be from "Coinbase".

ZachXBT stated that since most people have only one phone number and many websites require it, these numbers ultimately end up being exposed in data breaches, making it nearly impossible for technically inexperienced users to defend against such attacks. Previous reports indicated that some attackers obtained information by bribing Coinbase employees, specifically targeting high-net-worth account users with 7-8 figure assets.[Original link]
