Coinbase said no passwords or customer funds were ever accessed. However, it said names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, last four digits of Social Security numbers, masked bank account numbers, and Coinbase account data like "balance snapshots and transaction history" may have been compromised.

They also said that access was from outside of US, but it is not clear where the customers were.

The breach, which Coinbase described as an “extortion attempt,” is said to have started when criminals bribed overseas support contractors to extract internal data affecting less than 1% of monthly transacting users.

The attackers reportedly obtained names, addresses, and phone numbers, as well as masked Social Security [it means just the last four digits] and bank account information, government ID images, and account data.

Coinbase emphasized that the attackers did not gain access to passwords, two-factor authentication codes, private keys, or customer funds.

I think this has to be Coinbase PR, I bolded the really, really important thing that they seem to be trying to slip under the radar.

Say someone has even a reasonably small number of whole Bitcoin on their Coinbase account. That's worth a lot of money nowadays and the attackers know who has Large holdings or even have transferred large amounts off to their own storage and they have their names, addresses, phone numbers, pictures, drivers license, etc. etc. This is very dangerous for people who would be someone worth flying out to with a $5 wrench.

Seriously, if any of you in here fit that description, I would try to find out as quickly as possible if your account was one of the ones compromised. And if so, I don't know what you should do, but you should take some kind of precaution I would think, at least by a gun.

I hope we can get good bitcoin mixers again... at least that avoids the risk that the attackers know what amount of coins you have left on your address after sending something to the exchange...

btw I sold a bit here... thank me later....

and btw....
