In January 2025, I was targeted by scammers who knew my exact Bitcoin balance, SSN, DL, and other private Coinbase account details. I immediately reported this to Coinbase's Head of Trust & Safety with recordings and technical evidence. Despite repeated follow-ups asking how attackers had my data, Coinbase went silent for 4 months. They only disclosed the breach in May after attackers demanded $20M ransom. The breach involved overseas contractors at TaskUs being bribed for customer data. This article documents the timeline with emails, recordings, and evidence showing Coinbase was aware of the breach months before their official "discovery" date.

Thanks for sharing it, however I have an unrelated comment.

Maybe I am in minority here but just wanted to provide this feedback: The background animation of the blog page is really distracting and making it difficult to focus on the actual content.
