No amount of tracking is acceptable in the same way the freedom of speech is absolute (no censorship is acceptable). You can say it is not a slippery slope but our rights are eroded when we compromise. If you need tracking you put the dot

I am more interested in how Coinbase employees discovered the attack. I am assuming nobody clicked the suspicious link and instead took it to a vm for reversing and analysis. It would have been game over if the exploit was actually executed

Insider threat is probably non-existant. You know all your employees and if a hack happens there is an easy list of people to investigate. Also trying to cash out large amounts of stolen crypto is going to be difficult with the amount of bl
