These are seller pages, not user pages. Sellers are web indexed by default. You could argue that Coinbase shouldn't index these pages and that they should only be accessible from seller websites, but sellers have already made them public on the WWW. There's no "data leak".
- Irregardless 14y agoGiving out the emails associated with their accounts is a really bad idea. Having them indexed by Google is even worse, hence the phishing attempts.
- verroq 14y agoThese are sellers and their contact information. The whole point is that they are public.
- mbreese 14y agoHaving official public contact information, well, public, is fine - that's the point. But having the email addresses associated with merchant accounts isn't. Hence the phishing concern.
- joelrunyon 14y agoI'm still wondering why they have to publicly display those emails in relation to the accounts associated with it. Why can't those stay anonymous?
