I have recordings proving Coinbase knew about breach months before disclosure

Once did some programming/networking work for a company that did the networking of a office sharing building that Coinbase was running out of. Early in my work there I noticed that the company had its admin passwords written on a whiteboard -- visible from the hallway because they had glass for walls. So I sent them an email to ask that they remove it (I billed them for it).

Their fix was to put a piece of paper over the passwords.

What a time.

Sending unsolicited bills for unrequested services is a great way to make sure nobody takes your email seriously

They are lucky they just got a bill and not a terminated contract. Consulting companies I have worked for would have dropped them immediately because we don't want clients with that kind of risk. Massive red flag that signals management is non-existent, incompetent, or checked out. That is egregious negligence.
