CZ just dropped a warning on phishing and SIM-swap attacks after Coinbase's analytics vendor Amplitude leaked customer contact data. Three South Korean firms also got hit.
Coinbase claims their core systems are fine, but your phone number and email are now floating around.
Here's the reality: you don't need a direct hack to get rekt. A leaked phone number is all it takes for a convincing phishing attack to drain your bags.
Protect yourself:
• Ignore random DMs and texts
• Never share your seed phrase (obviously)
• Ditch SMS 2FA—use an authenticator app or passkey instead
Your opsec is your first line of defense. Don't get lazy.
