Crypto exchange Coinbase has said that it prevented little over 1,100 customers from sending bitcoin to Twitter hackers who hijacked high-profile accounts to advertise a bitcoin scam last week.
If Coinbase didn't take the step, these customers would have collectively sent 30.4 bitcoin (currently worth about $278,000) to hackers, the exchange's chief information security officer, Philip Martin, told Forbes. Notably, this amount is more than twice the actual amount ($121,000) that hackers collected via victims.

Excellent operational work. If all exchanges had taken such measures in time, the hackers would probably have received significantly less.
What do you think?
This is good action by them and by taking care of this issue for sure many will see them reliable. Those hacking issue is seriously needed to take care of and if the exchangers will do the same for sure there's no place for hacker to do this attempt since their money stolen will be hold for this bad activities.
Constant reminder to all never trust anyone especially offers you a good profit for less efforts.
