Crypto Giant Coinbase expects an internal job, and up to $ 400 million is expected to lose.

Crypto Coinbase stated that some contractors and employees stationed outside the United States stole the data of some of its customers, including names, addresses and email messages, for infiltrators who used it to deceive its customers to transfer their money to accounts related to the attackers. according to ReutersCrypto Exchange highlights a loss between $ 180 million and $ 400 million due to this electronic attack, which only affects a small segment of the company’s customer base. Customers who lost money also need anxiety, because the company said it would pay them.

The company received an email from the representative of the threat last May, saying that they had information about customer accounts and internal documents, and they were asking a ransom of $ 20 million. But instead of paying the infiltrators, Coinbase instead alerted the application of the law and established a bonus of the same amount to obtain information that will lead to the arrest of the attackers.
