Coinbase（Coin）从公司勒索了2000万美元后，分享了下跌

黑客针对海外的Coinbase的支持代理商，向一小组工人提供现金贿赂，以获取来自客户支持工具的数据。

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）已成为一项事件中的加密骗局的受害者，该事件使黑客试图以2000万美元的价格勒索该公司。该交易所在周四向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件中披露了这一事件。

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.

该公司表示，今年早些时候，黑客针对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来自客户支持工具的数据的现金贿赂。黑客所移交的复制数据涉及其每月交易用户的不到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.

黑客旨在收集他们可以联系的客户列表，同时假装是共同的base，打算欺骗人们移交加密货币。该公司表示，他们随后试图以2000万美元的价格勒索Coinbase，以掩盖这一点。

No, we are not going to pay your ransom

不，我们不会支付您的赎金

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.

作为回应，Coinbase表示，围绕客户支持的硬化系统使未来的攻击更加困难。阿姆斯特朗还说，他们不会付给2000万美元，而是用它来追随黑客。

“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.

阿姆斯特朗说：“我们没有支付2000万美元的赎金，而是要扭转赎金。”

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.

该文件显示，虽然没有客户因袭击而损失资金，但Coinbase预计该事件将使该公司损失约1.8亿至4亿美元的补救成本和与此事件有关的自愿客户报销。文件说，经过完整的审查后，这些数字可以向上或向下调整。

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

申请指出：“这些事件的全部影响尚不清楚。”

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.

专门从事AI利润审核的咨询公司Arboai的创始合伙人David Acosta告诉Quartz，Armstrong的回应是“动力移动”和“透明”。他说，该公司采取了正确的步骤，并采取了客户保护。

“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

阿科斯塔说：“通过将客户保护优先于短期风险降低，例如支付赎金，它们增强了对安全漏洞可能破坏市场信心的行业的信任。”他说，黑客行动提醒您顶级交流仍然是高价值的目标。
