Subsequently, they attempted to blackmail Coinbase, demanding $20 million to keep the breach hidden. However, Coinbase refused the offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Was Stolen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stolen information includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Name, address, phone, and email address;<\/li>\n<li>Masked Social Security numbers (last 4 digits only);<\/li>\n<li>Masked bank account numbers and some bank account identifiers;<\/li>\n<li>Government ID images such as driver\u2019s license and passport;<\/li>\n<li>Account data balance snapshots and transaction history; and<\/li>\n<li>Limited corporate data, including documents, training material, and communications available to support agents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Cyber criminals bribed and recruited a group of rogue overseas support agents to steal Coinbase customer data to facilitate social engineering attacks. These insiders abused their access to customer support systems to steal the account data for a small subset of customers,&#8221;\u00a0Coinbase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/blog\/protecting-our-customers-standing-up-to-extortionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0in a Thursday blog post.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed and Coinbase Prime accounts are untouched.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Security Measures Taken By Coinbase<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coinbase has said that it is taking full responsibility for protecting affected users. Impacted customers, who were notified by email on May 15, will be reimbursed if they were fooled into transferring funds to scammers due to social engineering attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the company is also implementing tighter withdrawal controls, as flagged accounts will now require additional identity verification for large transactions, along with new scam-awareness prompts. It is opening a new support hub in the U.S. and adding stronger security controls and monitoring across all locations.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, to prevent future breaches, the company has increased investments in insider threat detection, security threat simulation, and automated response to identify similar security threats in its infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standing Up To Extortion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rather than pay the ransom, Coinbase is offering a $20 million bounty to anyone who can help bring the perpetrators to justice. The company is also working with U.S. and international law enforcement and has already fired the exchange staff involved in the breach. It will press criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with industry partners, we\u2019ve tagged the attackers\u2019 addresses so the authorities can track and work to recover assets,\u201d the company added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommendation To Users<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3267\" data-end=\"3422\">Coinbase is urging customers to stay vigilant, as imposters may try to exploit the situation by posing as Coinbase employees. The company reiterated it will never ask for passwords or 2FA codes, or ask users to move funds to assets to a specific or new address, account, vault or wallet, or call or text users to move funds to a \u201csafe\u201d wallet.<\/p>\n<p>If this happens, the crypto exchange suggests users hang up on imposters, immediately <a href=\"https:\/\/help.coinbase.com\/en\/coinbase\/privacy-and-security\/account-compromised\/my-account-was-compromised\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">lock their account<\/a> in the app, and email at <a href=\"mailto:security@coinbase.com\">security@coinbase.com<\/a> to report suspicious activity.<\/p>\n<p>To protect against any potential data breach, Coinbase recommends that its users enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and turn on withdrawal allow-listing for secure transfers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To the customers affected, we&#8217;re sorry for the worry and inconvenience this incident caused. We&#8217;ll keep owning issues when they arise and investing in world class defenses\u2014because that&#8217;s how we protect our customers and keep the crypto economy safe for everyone,&#8221; Coinbase concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant cybersecurity incident, Coinbase has confirmed that cybercriminals, aided by a group of bribed rogue overseas support agents, stole sensitive customer data in an attempt to extort the company for $20 million.
