So coinbase users lost 45M to phishing due to coinbase insider access leak What happened? Hackers bribed insiders at a third-party Coinbase support vendor, gaining access to internal tools. They stole user data like names, emails, partial IDs, transaction history and used it to launch personalized phishing attacks. By May 17, losses topped $45 million. Here is a takeaway Sometimes you don’t need to get hacked. You just need to be convinced. This was a data driven attack and it worked. Use these tips to stay SAFU: 1. Use anti-phishing tools 2. Don’t click links from random emails or DMs 3. Bookmark official sites (watch for fake domains like c0inbase) 4. Use hardware wallets & always preview transactions 5. Create burner emails for crypto accounts 6. Pause when you feel rushed, urgency = red flag 7. Even the best smart contract can’t protect you from human mistakes.
