Coinbase employee may have accessed user data for phishing - Decentral News Hub
Coinbase is investigating reports that an employee may have improperly accessed customer information, raising concerns that criminals could use those details to target people with convincing scam messages. This does not necessarily mean accounts were taken over, but it increases the risk of fake emails, texts, or calls pretending to be from Coinbase.
Who is at risk
Coinbase customers, especially anyone who has recently received messages about account problems, verification requests, or urgent payment actions, may be most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected emails, texts, or phone calls claiming to be from Coinbase that ask you to click a link, share a code, confirm personal details, or move money quickly.
What to do
Do not use links in messages, go directly to the Coinbase app or website yourself, change your password if you are concerned, and turn on extra login protection if it is not already enabled.
