‘Really Great Example’: Coinbase Praised for Hack Response Amid $400M Crisis

When $400 million vanishes into the crypto abyss, most CEOs reach for the panic button. Coinbase just rewrote the crisis playbook.

The breach that wasn’t: Unlike FTX-style collapses, Coinbase froze withdrawals within minutes—transparency protocols kicked in before Twitter even noticed. White-hat hackers got bounties; black-hats got blockchain fingerprints.

Damage control done right: Every affected user got a forensic breakdown plus insurance coverage. Meanwhile, traditional banks take 45 days to ’investigate’ missing funds—if they reply at all.

The cynical kicker: While crypto exchanges evolve real-time security, legacy finance still treats two-factor authentication as ’cutting-edge tech.’ Your move, Jamie Dimon.
