Coinbase confirms insider breach linked to leaked support tool screenshots

Coinbase has confirmed an insider breach after a contractor improperly accessed the data of approximately thirty customers in December. The contractor has been terminated, and affected users were notified and provided with identity theft protection services. This incident is separate from a previously disclosed breach involving TaskUs, another outsourcing firm. Threat actors known as 'Scattered Lapsus Hunters' shared screenshots of an internal Coinbase support interface on Telegram, showing access to sensitive customer information.
