      tldr; Hackers breached Coinbase’s security, obtaining personal information of clients, including Roelof Botha, managing partner at Sequoia Capital. The stolen data includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and government ID images. The attackers demanded $20 million to keep the data private, but Coinbase refused. CEO Brian Armstrong pledged to compensate affected customers and enhance cybersecurity measures. Botha and Sequoia Capital declined to comment on the incident.

      dailyhodl forgot to put their obligatory ‚ABRUPTLY‘ in the title..

      Not to mention that 56300000000 Venture Capital isn’t exactly the most catchiest name for a firm 🤷‍♂️

      „Person holding $20 in altcoins on Coinbase has Phone Number, Address and Other Details Stolen in Coinbase Hack along with millions of other users.“

      This headline can be true too.

      The dad also included account balances I believe. The breach wasn’t technical. The group paid off low level outside US customer service reps.

      There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that those low level customer service reps should’ve had things like photo IDs or people’s addresses or the last four of their social or the last numbers of their bank account or all kinds of other things.

      The fact that the Coinbase CEO is going to „embrace security measures“ now is LAME.

      Having walls around information that people don’t need is one of the first and most fundamental aspects of security.

      This isn’t going to be one or two security gaps that they have to „fill-in“ as they will try to spin it.

      In a company this large, these are entire procedural breakdowns and program breakdowns. This has nothing to do with a handful of people that could be bribed. This has to do with how it could be just that easy to get all this information. And why info like government IDs or pictures was in the hands of those people when they didn’t need it.

      Oh I misread the post title. I was thinking, *Why would the partner of that firm have the stolen data?!?* not realizing the partner’s data was included in the stolen data.

    6. Was Brian Armstrong’s identifying data stolen as well? Genuine question.

      Because if yes and he directed Coinbase not to pay the ransom, I can respect the principles. But if not, then it’s clear why he didn’t pay the ransom and is a scumbag. So which?
