Phishing aside, that's very lucrative amount of BTC :D They should have at least chosen a viable amount like 20 BTC or something to not make people suspicious.

It is a nifty feature. http://blog.coinbase.com/post/81407694500/update-on-coinbase-data-security Quote We’d also like to address the claim of a “leaked” list of Coinbase emails and user names. This list (the size of which is less than one half of one percent of Coinbase users) was not the result of a data breach at Coinbase. This list of emails was likely sourced from other sites - probably Bitcoin related ones. It’s clear there was no data breach because no other user information is provided. So, someone just found an e-mail list and sent them all invoices using the Coinbase API.

A programmer code's a program with so much pressure and a hacker jumps in and tells other ,bamm that line of code was wrong...! out of thousands of line it is hard to make sure you are doing everything correct all the time..! http://blog.coinbase.com/post/81407694500/update-on-coinbase-data-security Quote We’d also like to address the claim of a “leaked” list of Coinbase emails and user names.

Long story short: Exchanges should take members security a lil more seriously now , I'm not saying that claims made by CB are false because I didn't received any such Phishing mail and I have a acc/ in CB ..! but they should always remain on their toes when it comes to members security.
