🛡️ Major Security Breach at Coinbase
Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange, was targeted by hackers who stole sensitive customer data and demanded a $20 million ransom in Bitcoin. The breach involved bribed overseas support agents and compromised partial Social Security numbers, bank details, and identity images—but not passwords or funds. Coinbase has pledged to reimburse affected users, with potential costs ranging from $180 million to $400 million.
