Coinbase's filing said the breach dates back to December 26, 2024, and continued until earlier this month, when the company said it received a 'credible' ransom note from the hacker claiming it had stolen customer data. In a blog post, Coinbase said the hacker demanded $20 million in a ransom payment to delete the data, which Coinbase refused to pay. The company said the hacker bribed Coinbase customer support workers into accessing customers' data over a period of several months. The hacker stole customer names, email and postal addresses, phone numbers, government-issued identity documents, account balances, and transaction histories, amid fears that wealthy customers could be targeted.
