Coinbase has reportedly fired a group of customer support agents following their alleged involvement in social engineering attacks on users. The contracted agents were based in India and allegedly allowed scammers to access user data.

據報導，Coinbase涉嫌參與對用戶的社會工程攻擊，已解雇了一群客戶支持人員。合同的代理商位於印度，據稱允許騙子訪問用戶數據。

According to a May 15 Fortune interview, Coinbase's chief security officer, Philip Martin, said the company flagged customer support contractors who allowed scammers access to user data, suggesting they could be Indian nationals. The CSO’s comments came after some crypto users reeled from attempted phishing attacks using their Coinbase data, which the exchange estimated could cost them between $180 million and $400 million in remediation and reimbursement.

根據5月15日的《財富》採訪，Coinbase的首席安全官Philip Martin表示，該公司標記了允許騙子訪問用戶數據的客戶支持承包商，這表明他們可能是印度國民。 CSO的評論發表在一些加密用戶使用其Coinbase數據中試圖的網絡釣魚攻擊中，估計的交易所可能使他們在1.8億至4億美元之間的補救和報銷。

Qiao Wang, a core contributor to Alliance DAO, said in a May 15 X post that he may have been a victim of one of these attacks. He said a scammer notified him his Coinbase account had been compromised, asked him to verify his personal information, to which the criminals likely had access through the compromised agents, and requested he withdraw all his funds to a “Coinbase self-custodial wallet.”

王王（Qiao Wang）是聯盟道（Alliance Dao）的核心貢獻者，他在5月15日的帖子中說，他可能是其中一次襲擊的受害者。他說，騙子通知他，他的共同賬戶已被妥協，要求他驗證他的個人信息，罪犯可能通過折衷的代理商可以訪問該信息，並要求他將所有資金撤回給“ Coinbase自我監測錢包”。

“I called them out at the end of the call telling them had to step up their game ... ,” said Wang on X. “They told me that had made $7m that day.”

王在X上說：“我在通話結束時呼喚他們。

Cointelegraph reached out to Martin and Coinbase for further comment, but did not receive responses at the time of publication. Following the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure estimating up to $400 million in reimbursements, shares of Coinbase Global dropped more than 5%.

Cointelegraph與Martin和Coinbase聯繫了進一步的評論，但在出版時沒有收到回應。在證券交易委員會（SEC）披露估計的報銷最多4億美元之後，Coinbase Global的股票下跌了5％以上。

Regulatory concerns amid data breach

在數據洩露中的監管問題

Reports of the alleged bribes and user data breach came amid Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s visit to lawmakers in Washington, DC, to support crypto-related legislation. Congress is considering another vote on a stablecoin bill and drafting legislation for a digital asset market structure bill, both of which were crucial policies that could favor the crypto industry.

在Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong訪問華盛頓特區的立法者以支持與加密相關的立法的情況下，有關賄賂和用戶數據洩露的報告是在Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong的訪問之內出現的。國會正在考慮對穩定法案的另一票，並為數字資產市場結構法案起草立法，這兩者都是可能有利於加密貨幣行業的關鍵政策。

The New York Times also reported on May 15 that Coinbase is facing an SEC probe over allegedly misstating its user numbers starting in 2021. Though the regulator dropped its enforcement action against Coinbase in March, SEC officials were reportedly continuing to investigate the exchange over its “verified user” numbers.

《紐約時報》還於5月15日報導說，Coinbase因涉嫌從2021年開始錯誤地評估其用戶數量的SEC面臨調查。儘管監管機構於3月在3月對Coinbase的執法措施撤銷了訴訟，但據報導，SEC官員仍在對其“驗證的用戶”數字進行調查。

One of the issues stemmed from an SEC filing stating the exchange recorded 43 million users before its 2021 public filing. Armstrong said Coinbase had 103 million verified users in 2022. Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal reportedly said the matter was a “holdover investigation from the prior administration.”

其中一個問題源於SEC文件，該文件指出該交易所在2021年公開文件之前記錄了4300萬用戶。阿姆斯特朗說，Coinbase在2022年已有1.03億驗證的用戶。據報導，Coinbase首席法律官Paul Grewal表示，此事是“先前政府的保留調查”。
