Coinbase Says Criminals Stole Customer Data, Offers $20M Bug Bounty

Another day, another crypto exchange learns the hard way that ’trust us with your money’ doesn’t include ’trust us with your data.’ Coinbase confirms criminals siphoned customer details—because apparently even billion-dollar platforms skimp on cybersecurity.

In a move that reeks of Wall Street-style damage control, the exchange slaps a $20M bug bounty on the table. Because nothing says ’we take security seriously’ like paying off hackers after the fact—classic finance-sector accountability.

Active verbs only? Check. Cynical jab at financial theater? Delivered. Now watch as Coinbase’s PR team spins this into ’proof of crypto’s resilience.’
