tldr; A Coinbase data breach involving over 10,000 customers was linked to Ashita Mishra, an employee at the outsourcing firm TaskUs in India. Mishra allegedly sold sensitive user data, including social security numbers, bank details, and government ID images, to criminal actors. The breach, part of a larger conspiracy, impacted 69,461 people. Coinbase refused to pay the hackers and estimates remediation costs at $180-$400 million. The company has since severed ties with the implicated TaskUs personnel and tightened security measures.

Does anyone still claim that outsourcing is a good idea?

So if you’re paying 400m for a stack of SSNs, you have to be able to make more money with these numbers. My question is what do people do with the numbers to make more money?

„tightened security measures“ yeah they don’t expire session cookies (which can be stolen by spyware), they only lock your account after you report a theft (not when a new login is detected from another IP). No action is taken when 2FA or other security settings are changed from a new IP and then they have staff who have sufficient access to sell your data.
It’s all completely unacceptable.
Cryptocurrencies are P2P, not designed for „trusted 3rd parties“ in fact a lot of the point was to get rid of „trusted 3rd parties“. Being your own bank is hard. Trusting Coinbase with your coins and data – madness.
