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.

据报道，Coinbase涉嫌参与对用户的社会工程攻击，已解雇了一群客户支持人员。合同的代理商位于印度，据称允许骗子访问用户数据。

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.

根据5月15日的《财富》采访，Coinbase的首席安全官Philip Martin表示，该公司标记了允许骗子访问用户数据的客户支持承包商，这表明他们可能是印度国民。 CSO的评论发表在一些加密用户使用其Coinbase数据中试图的网络钓鱼攻击中，估计的交易所可能使他们在1.8亿至4亿美元之间的补救和报销。

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）是联盟道（Alliance Dao）的核心贡献者，他在5月15日的帖子中说，他可能是其中一次袭击的受害者。他说，骗子通知他，他的共同账户已被妥协，要求他验证他的个人信息，罪犯可能通过折衷的代理商可以访问该信息，并要求他将所有资金撤回给“ Coinbase自我监测钱包”。

“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上说：“我在通话结束时呼唤他们。

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与Martin和Coinbase联系了进一步的评论，但在出版时没有收到回应。在证券交易委员会（SEC）披露估计的报销最多4亿美元之后，Coinbase Global的股票下跌了5％以上。

Regulatory concerns amid data breach

在数据泄露中的监管问题

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首席执行官Brian Armstrong访问华盛顿特区的立法者以支持与加密相关的立法的情况下，有关贿赂和用户数据泄露的报告是在Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong的访问之内出现的。国会正在考虑对稳定法案的另一票，并为数字资产市场结构法案起草立法，这两者都是可能有利于加密货币行业的关键政策。

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.

《纽约时报》还于5月15日报道说，Coinbase因涉嫌从2021年开始错误地评估其用户数量的SEC面临调查。尽管监管机构于3月在3月对Coinbase的执法措施撤销了诉讼，但据报道，SEC官员仍在对其“验证的用户”数字进行调查。

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.”

其中一个问题源于SEC文件，该文件指出该交易所在2021年公开文件之前记录了4300万用户。阿姆斯特朗说，Coinbase在2022年已有1.03亿验证的用户。据报道，Coinbase首席法律官Paul Grewal表示，此事是“先前政府的保留调查”。
