COINBASE DATA BREACH TIMELINE DOESN'T ADD UP: I HAVE RECORDINGS & EMAILS PROVING ATTACKS STARTED MONTHS BEFORE THEIR 'DISCOVERY'
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
This article goes over the personal experience of a sophisticated phishing attack targeting a Coinbase user in January. The author reported the attack, which involved the scammer possessing detailed personal information, to Coinbase, but received no response to their crucial question of how the attacker obtained the data. Coinbase later disclosed a data breach in May, attributing it to bribed overseas customer support contractors, but the author's earlier experience suggests the breach was active months prior.
