I sent the phone recording and emails to coinbase, and they acknowledged them saying "This report is super robust and gives us a lot to look into. We are investigating this scammer now."
- mmooss 11mo agoIt seems like you did a great job collecting info and reporting it. Still, how do you know that the info was obtained via Coinbase? Certainly they are a likely vector but you are too, and maybe there are others. Edit: Nevermind; I see you addressed that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45948808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45948808
- mtlynch 11mo agoThe recordings don't prove anything about what Coinbase knew. I stand by my statement that the title is clickbait, as it's misleading on two fronts: - It's the email, not the call recording that proves what Coinbase knew, but "recordings prove" sounds more sensational - The email proves that Coinbase was aware of a sophisticated attack against a single user. You didn't have enough information to prove that there was a large scale leak of Coinbase customer data. There are sophisticated attacks against individual Coinbase users all the time due to the value of the accounts there.
