Many people on social media have complained about Coinbase security issues.
On Twitter, Coinbase customers have been reporting a rise in phishing and other frauds targeting the platform. According to these allegations, scammers are using Coinbase’s domain name in their schemes.
On July 7, a Twitter user called Daniel Mason reported the most recent occurrence. Mason was targeted by con artists who sent him SMS and emails with links to sites hosted on the Coinbase.com domain.
The con artist pretended to be from Coinbase by calling Mason from a real phone number and then sending him an email from the Coinbase.com domain.
After then, Mason received a phishing text message that led him to a URL under a Coinbase subdomain. The con artist went on to steal Mason’s identification details such as his home address, SSN, and driving licence number.
An email from [email protected] came very instantly. Mason suspected that the con artist had either filed a case on his behalf or hacked into Coinbase’s email system.
