SlowMist chief information security officer 23pds said a Coinbase data breach was confirmed and exposed contact information for more than 70,000 users, according to BlockBeats.
Password and fund theft remain unconfirmed
23pds said it has not yet been confirmed whether user passwords or funds were stolen. The flash did not provide a breach timeline, attack vector, affected-account list or an independent Coinbase statement.
