Coinbase Customer Data Hit in Analytics Vendor Breach, Funds ‘Not Impacted’
Summary
Coinbase said a security incident at analytics provider Amplitude exposed contact data for a small subset of Coinbase customers, alongside data from other Amplitude clients. Coinbase reported no evidence that its own systems were accessed and said customer funds were unaffected. It did not disclose the number of customers involved, the data types exposed or when the incident occurred, but said it is notifying affected customers and regulators. The incident highlights risks from third-party vendors, following previous customer data exposures at Coinbase and crypto firms including Trezor.
