Coinbase revealed that scammers bribed company insiders to steal customer data, highlighting a serious insider threat. According to the report, cybercriminals targeted employees with lucrative offers in exchange for confidential information, including login credentials and customer details. Some insiders allegedly accepted these bribes, enabling unauthorized access to Coinbase systems. The breach compromised sensitive customer data but did not reportedly affect users' funds. Coinbase has since tightened internal controls, improved monitoring, and collaborated with law enforcement to investigate the incident. This case underscores growing cybersecurity risks from internal actors and the importance of vigilance against social engineering in financial tech companies.
