THE STORY · FACTUAL SUMMARY

Coinbase told Unchained on 28 October that an incident at analytics provider Amplitude exposed some customer contact and limited transaction data. It said home addresses and account-access information were not involved, funds were unaffected, and it found no evidence of unauthorised access to Coinbase systems. Coinbase says it is notifying affected customers and regulators. The report gives no confirmed affected-customer count.

HIS MAJESTY’S ASSESSMENT · OPINION
A fortress may have splendid doors and still employ a courier who loses the address book. I shall be inspecting the courtyard as well as admiring the hinges.
