Crypto Duniya Mein Phir Hera Pheri: Coinbase Hack Ka Dardnaak Qissa!
Haan yaar, suno toh! Yeh jo Coinbase hai na, apna barra sa crypto exchange US ka, wahaan pe ghapla ho gaya hai. Data breach hua hai aur kuch khaas logon ki personal information leak ho gayi hai, pata hai? Bade bade tech industry ke log hain un mein.
Lagta hai yeh cybercriminals ne customer service walon ko bahla phusla ke, matlab bribe de ke, andar ki information nikalwa li. Company bol rahi hai ke shayad $400 million tak ka kharcha aa jaye ga yeh sab theek karte karte.
Aur pata hai kis ki information compromise hui hai? Woh Sequoia Capital ka banda hai na, Roelof Botha, managing partner hai woh. Aik insider ne bataya hai ke uss ka phone number, address aur baqi personal details leak ho gaye hain.
Coinbase walon ko hackers ne $20 million ka ransom bhi offer kiya tha ke agar paise do ge toh kuch nahi kahenge, lekin company ne mana kar diya. Ulta, unhon ne $20 million ka bounty rakh diya hai jo bhi un hackers ko pakarwa dega.
Yeh jo Botha ki previously unreported information nikli hai na, uss se lagta hai ke woh log specifically ameer aur power wale logon ko target kar rahe thay.
Yeh Botha wohi hai na jo PayPal Mafia mein bhi tha, matlab jo pehle PayPal mein kaam karte thay, jaise Peter Thiel aur Elon Musk. Usne 2003 mein Sequoia join kiya tha aur YouTube aur Instagram jaise companies mein shuru mein invest kiya tha.
Coinbase ne toh iss bare mein kuch nahi kaha aur Botha aur Sequoia walon ne bhi chup hi sadhi hui hai.
Lekin sunne mein aaya hai ke kuch Coinbase ke customers ko pichle hafte alerts bhi aaye thay ke un ki information shayad leak ho gayi hai.
Aur yeh cyber attack aise time pe hua hai jab yeh US ki company S&P 500 index mein shamil hone wali hai. Matlab, crypto industry jitni barri ho rahi hai, utna hi hackers ka nishana ban rahi hai.
Yeh dekho, France mein bhi crypto walon ko kidnap aur hack karne ke cases barh rahe hain. Unhon ne toh abhi meeting bhi ki hai ke kaise isko control karein.
Chainalysis ki report bata rahi hai ke 2024 mein crypto businesses se $2.2 billion chori ho gaye. Crypto executives ki security ka issue toh ab serious hota ja raha hai.
Pichle dino France mein Paymium ke CEO ki beti aur pote ko kidnap karne ki koshish bhi hui thi. Us se pehle aik aur crypto millionaire ke father ko bhi kidnap kiya tha lekin woh do din baad chhoot gaye thay.
Yeh crypto sector toh hamesha se hi hackers ka target raha hai. February mein bhi North Korean hackers ne Bybit exchange se $1.5 billion ura liye thay, jo ab tak ka sab se barra breach bataya ja raha hai.
Toh bhai, yeh sab chal raha hai crypto ki duniya mein.
