The article keeps saying overseas employees or contractors, but isn't more specific on who Coinbase entrusted with this sensitive customer PII.

The bottom line is Coinbase didn't adequately secure sensitive customer information, and it was leaked.

They are probably used as scapegoats and didn't even leak the stuff. Crypto companies tend to do that.
