69K plus consumers’ data exposed in a Coinbase breach where hackers bribed overseas support staff to steal customer information.
Data breach exposed personal information of users but no passwords or funds were compromised; Coinbase Prime users were unaffected.
Hackers obtained names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, government IDs, and transaction data, leading to an extortion request of $20 million.
Coinbase took steps to help affected users, including reimbursement for social-engineering attack losses, offering identity protection, and enhancing security measures.
