Coinbase Says Data Breach for 69,461 Users Occurred in December

Crypto exchange giant Coinbase drops a not-so-festive disclosure: nearly 70k users had their data compromised last December. Just in time for Wall Street’s annual ’blockchain security’ PowerPoint presentations.

While the breach predates the current bull run, it’s a stark reminder that even blue-chip platforms aren’t immune to attacks. The company hasn’t specified whether funds were affected—but in crypto, that’s usually the first thing they’d shout about.

Funny how these breaches always surface months later, right after quarterly earnings calls wrap up. Maybe next year’s security budget will finally include a calendar.
