Coinbase Customer Data Exposed in Analytics Vendor Breach

analytics vendor breach — Coinbase has confirmed that a security breach at a third-party analytics vendor exposed customer data, though it stated customer funds were not impacted.

The incident occurred at analytics provider Amplitude, which experienced a security breach in late September. Coinbase disclosed on Tuesday that the event affected a “small subset” of its customers, but did not specify an exact number. According to the exchange, no customer funds or assets were compromised.

Coinbase stated that the exposed information was limited to what customers shared directly with Amplitude’s software, which Coinbase integrates for product analytics. The compromised data reportedly included email addresses and information about device types and operating systems.

The exchange said its security team investigated the issue and found no evidence of a direct breach of its internal systems. Coinbase added that it has taken steps to notify affected customers and is continuing to monitor the situation.
