During a massive cyberattack on the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) that took place in December 2024, personal data of 69,400 users was compromised. This is stated in a notification filed by the platform's lawyers to the state prosecutor's office in Maine (USA).

As compensation, the exchange will provide all affected customers with free access to a personal data monitoring and protection service, which includes tracking any changes in credit history indicating fraud, an insurance policy of $1 million, personal information recovery, and monitoring the dark web for information available on illegal online forums.
