Sequoia Capital exec also a victim in Coinbase data breach — report

Roelof Botha’s information was compromised in a Coinbase data breach affecting fewer than 1% of users. This incident raises concerns about the security of user accounts and personal information.

The breach led to attempts at social engineering against affected users. Coinbase rebuffed efforts to extort 20 million USD, highlighting robustness against further attacks.

Reports suggest that similar breaches also targeted other exchanges like Kraken and Binance, indicating a wider trend in security threats within the cryptocurrency landscape.
