Coinbase, a prominent name in the crypto industry, was recently targeted by cyber attackers who had their sights set on customer data. These attackers attempted to extort the company, demanding a $20 million bounty. However, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stood confident and refused to accept their demands.

Coinbase是加密货币行业的重要名称，最近是网络攻击者的目标，他们将目光投向了客户数据。这些攻击者试图勒索公司，要求售价2000万美元。但是，Coinbase首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）坚信，拒绝接受他们的要求。

In a short video on the X platform, Armstrong firmly stated, “We are not going to pay ransom.” He went on to explain how cyber attackers often bluff about customer data hacks, adding, “They will claim to have accessed data on millions of customers. But in this case, they had minimal access to data on a small number of customers.”

在X平台上的一个简短视频中，阿姆斯特朗坚定地说：“我们不会支付赎金。”他继续解释了网络攻击者经常对客户数据骇客的虚张声势，并补充说：“他们会声称已经访问了数百万客户的数据。但是在这种情况下，他们最少可以访问少数客户的数据。”

Speaking on the incident, Armstrong maintained, “We decided not to pay the ransom and instead will be pursuing the harshest penalties possible and will not settle. We are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this attack.”

阿姆斯特朗在谈到这一事件时坚持说：“我们决定不支付赎金，而是将采取最严厉的罚款，并且不会定居。我们正在建立一笔2000万美元的奖励基金，以提供导致逮捕和定罪这次袭击的罪犯的信息。”

This move aims to not only catch the criminals but also raise awareness among investors. It’s a reminder that Coinbase values user trust above all.

此举不仅旨在抓住罪犯，而且还提高投资者的认识。这是一个提醒，Coinbase首先要重视用户信任。

After discovering the breach and quickly limiting customer support access, securing systems, and launching an investigation, Coinbase has announced that the incident affected less than 1% of its monthly active users.

在发现违规行为并迅速限制了客户支持访问，确保系统并启动调查之后，Coinbase宣布，该事件影响了其每月活跃用户的不到1％。

Attackers bribed a handful of overseas support agents to gain limited access to customer data. No sensitive details like passwords, private keys, or funds were touched, and prime accounts stayed completely secure.

攻击者贿赂了少数海外支持代理商，以获取有限的客户数据访问权限。没有触摸密码，私钥或资金等敏感细节，并且Prime帐户完全安全。

This incident has brought the effects of cybercrime on the digital finance ecosystem into focus. Coinbase plans to tighten internal systems further, with stricter access controls, enhanced monitoring, and employee screening.

这一事件使网络犯罪对数字金融生态系统的影响成为重点。 Coinbase计划通过更严格的访问控制，增强的监视和员工筛选，进一步收紧内部系统。

Most importantly, this case shows why collaboration is crucial. Companies, cybersecurity experts, and law enforcement need to work together to stay ahead of these evolving threats. The Coinbase incident also shows what leadership looks like when faced with a serious cybercrime case.

最重要的是，这种情况表明合作为什么至关重要。公司，网络安全专家和执法部门需要共同努力，以保持这些不断发展的威胁。 Coinbase事件还显示了面对严重的网络犯罪案件时的领导能力。

Brian Armstrong’s refusal to give in and his decision to turn the tables with a large-scale bounty are noteworthy. It will be interesting to see how this case unfolds and what impact it has on the broader crypto community.
