SlowMist Chief Information Security Officer 23pds confirmed that the Coinbase data breach is real. Hackers obtained the contact information of more than 70,000 users, but it has not yet been confirmed whether passwords, private keys, or funds were stolen.
For everyday users, the real risk often comes after a breach: attackers may use email addresses and phone numbers to send targeted phishing texts, impersonate customer support, or trick people into clicking “account issue” links. If you recently receive emails, texts, or direct messages claiming to be from Coinbase, verify them by manually opening the official app or website. Don’t click links directly or share verification codes or recovery phrases.
Affected users should immediately check their login history, change to a strong password, and enable a hardware key or authenticator app. If you receive a suspicious transfer request, verify it through official channels first. Asset security can’t rely on the platform alone—your personal defenses matter too.
