they're literally sending your data to India, just begging for your account to be hacked
Coinbase's $400 million data breach was linked to an India-based employee of outsourcing firm TaskUs, who allegedly took photos of customer data for hackers. The breach impacted 69,461 users, exposing personal and financial information. Hackers demanded a $20 million Bitcoin ransom, which Coinbase refused. The company estimates remediation costs between $180 million and $400 million and has severed ties with implicated personnel while tightening security controls.
