🚨 $20M Ransom, 69K Users Exposed: Inside the Shocking Coinbase Data Breach 🧵👇
Hackers didn’t break in — they bribed their way in.
In one of the boldest crypto breaches of 2025, attackers paid overseas contractors to steal sensitive data from inside Coinbase.
Here’s what they got access to: • Full names
• Phone numbers
• Home addresses
• Emails
• Partial SSNs
• Bank IDs
• Even passport/ID photos 😳
And the worst part?
They demanded $20 million to not leak the data.
Coinbase refused — and instead offered a $20M bounty to catch them.
While no funds or passwords were stolen, this kind of info is a goldmine for phishing, identity theft, and social engineering.
