Coinbase（Coin）從公司勒索了2000萬美元後，分享了下跌

黑客針對海外的Coinbase的支持代理商，向一小組工人提供現金賄賂，以獲取來自客戶支持工具的數據。

Crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) has become a victim of a crypto scam in an incident that saw hackers try to extort the company for $20 million. The exchange disclosed the incident in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.

加密交易所Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）已成為一項事件中的加密騙局的受害者，該事件使黑客試圖以2000萬美元的價格勒索該公司。該交易所在周四向美國證券交易委員會提交的文件中披露了這一事件。

Earlier this year, hackers targeted Coinbase’s support agents overseas, offering cash bribes to a small group of workers for data from customer support tools, the company said. The copied data handed over by the hackers involved less than 1% of its monthly transacting users.

該公司表示，今年早些時候，黑客針對Coinbase的支持代理商在海外的支持代理商，向一小群工人提供了來自客戶支持工具的數據的現金賄賂。黑客所移交的複制數據涉及其每月交易用戶的不到1％。

The hackers aimed to gather a customer list they could contact while pretending to be Coinbase, intending to trick people into handing over their crypto. They then tried to extort Coinbase for $20 million to cover this up, the company said.

黑客旨在收集他們可以聯繫的客戶列表，同時假裝是共同的base，打算欺騙人們移交加密貨幣。該公司表示，他們隨後試圖以2000萬美元的價格勒索Coinbase，以掩蓋這一點。

No, we are not going to pay your ransom

不，我們不會支付您的贖金

In response, Coinbase said it’s hardening systems around customer support to make future attacks more difficult. Armstrong also said that instead of paying the $20 million, they will use it to go after the hackers.

作為回應，Coinbase表示，圍繞客戶支持的硬化系統使未來的攻擊更加困難。阿姆斯特朗還說，他們不會付給2000萬美元，而是用它來追隨黑客。

“Instead of paying $20 million dollar ransom, we are turning it around,” Armstrong said, offering a $20 million reward for the capture of the suspects.

阿姆斯特朗說：“我們沒有支付2000萬美元的贖金，而是要扭轉贖金。”

While no customers lost money from the attack, Coinbase expects the incident to cost the company approximately $180 million to $400 million in remediation costs and voluntary customer reimbursements relating to the incident, according to the filing. The filing says after a full review, the numbers could be adjusted upwards or downwards.

該文件顯示，雖然沒有客戶因襲擊而損失資金，但Coinbase預計該事件將使該公司損失約1.8億至4億美元的補救成本和與此事件有關的自願客戶報銷。文件說，經過完整的審查後，這些數字可以向上或向下調整。

“The full impact of these events are not yet known,” the filing states.

申請指出：“這些事件的全部影響尚不清楚。”

David Acosta, founding partner at ARBOai, a consulting firm that specializes in AI profit audits, told Quartz that Armstrong’s response was a “power move” and “transparent.” He says the company took the right steps with customer protection.

專門從事AI利潤審核的諮詢公司Arboai的創始合夥人David Acosta告訴Quartz，Armstrong的回應是“動力移動”和“透明”。他說，該公司採取了正確的步驟，並採取了客戶保護。

“By prioritizing customer protection over short-term risk mitigation, like paying ransoms, they reinforce trust in an industry where security breaches can devastate market confidence,” Acosta said, adding that the crypto sector has had multiple black eyes over the last decade. He said the action by hackers is a reminder that top-tier exchanges remain high-value targets.input: In This Story

阿科斯塔說：“通過將客戶保護優先於短期風險降低，例如支付贖金，它們增強了對安全漏洞可能破壞市場信心的行業的信任。”他說，黑客行動提醒您頂級交流仍然是高價值的目標。
