Coinbase-Hacker fordern 20 Millionen US-Dollar Lösegeld nach insidergetriebenen Datenverletzung

tldr; Coinbase suffered a cyberattack involving bribed support personnel, leading to the theft of sensitive customer data and social engineering scams. Hackers demanded a $20 million ransom, which Coinbase refused, opting instead to collaborate with law enforcement and offer a $20 million reward for information leading to the attackers‘ arrest. Less than 1% of users were affected, with stolen data including names, emails, and partial financial details. Coinbase pledged full refunds to victims, improved security measures, and laid off involved staff. The breach could cost up to $400 million in remediation expenses.
