Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange in the US, faces potential losses of $180-400 million this year due to a recent cyber attack.
The breach, attributed to an insider threat, involved the leakage of sensitive data including personal information of customers and employees.
Cybercriminals utilized advanced phishing tactics to deceive users into transferring cryptocurrency to fraudulent accounts.
Coinbase responded by resetting passwords, reimbursing affected customers, terminating freelance employees involved, and offering a reward for information leading to the attackers' capture.
