共插入数据泄漏可能会使用户处于身体危险中; TechCrunch FounderAuthored by Zoltan Vardai via CoinTelegraph.com,A recent data breach at crypto exchange Coinbase has raised concerns about user safety after hackers gained access to sensitive information, including home addresses.Coinbase, the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, confirmed that less than 1% of its transacting monthly users were affected in an attack that may cost the exchange up to $400 million in reimbursement expenses, Cointelegraph reported on May 15.However, the “human cost” of this data breach may be much higher for users, according to Michael Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch and Arrington Capital.“Very disappointed in Coinbase right now. Using the cheapest option for customer service has its price,” Arrington said in a May 20 X post, adding:“Something that has to be said though - this hack - which includes home addresses and account balances - will lead to people dying. It probably has already.”Source: Michael ArringtonWhile no passwords, private keys or account funds were exposed, cybercriminals reportedly bribed overseas customer service contractors to access internal systems. This allowed them to steal personal data that could be used in social engineering scams or even physical extortion attempts.With Bitcoin trading above $100,000, crypto wealth has become a growing target for criminals.专家警告说,泄漏的地址数据可能会使高净值个人暴露于现实世界中
