Coinbase says user funds are safe after vendor exposes customer data
Summary
Coinbase denied reports that its exchange was hacked, saying customer funds and its systems remain secure. The exposure originated at third-party analytics provider Amplitude and involved a small subset of contact information, alongside data from other Amplitude clients. Coinbase is notifying affected customers by email, but has not said how many were impacted or which specific fields were exposed. The contact data could still be used in phishing or social-engineering attempts.
