If I speak I am in big trouble.
In other words
„There’s nothing we can do about it because it’s out of our jurisdiction“
tldr; Coinbase’s $400 million data breach was linked to an India-based employee of outsourcing firm TaskUs, who allegedly took photos of customer data for hackers. The breach impacted 69,461 users, exposing personal and financial information. Hackers demanded a $20 million Bitcoin ransom, which Coinbase refused. The company estimates remediation costs between $180 million and $400 million and has severed ties with implicated personnel while tightening security controls.

That’s a lot of pictures
Shouldn’t have redeemed
The Coinbase breach involved an India-based TaskUs employee who was caught taking photos of data on her phone, leading to the firing of over 200 employees and a potential cost of up to $400 million; this incident was known to Coinbase as early as January, indicating delayed disclosure. This case highlights the risks associated with outsourcing support services and the importance of stringent data security measures.

Sar, do not redeem the cyber attack
So has there been any info or recs to mitigate risk for the users ?
Hardware wallets are cheap and easy to use. No reason to risk keeping your coins on exchanges.
I can’t say it but I think everyone thought of the same thing right?
Outsource and that’s what you get
Cost them 400M$ to save $20M .. maybe
This is what happens when you outsource to India
I wonder how much they paid him. A hundred bucks?
It’s quite disappointing how these large companies handle our data these days.
Fuck that guy and his dumb cows
The real scam started when the outsourcing vendor won the bid.
Why the fuck is my data in India anyway
God it’s always India…
Lmaooo another one?
How do they value the hack at $400M?
