Bitcoin Forum

Yesterday, I logged into my Coinbase account after a long time and ... It's empty,

I have a small amount BCH and BTC there. 2 transactions were just made and sent all my BCH and BTC to somewhere.

Before that,  I did not recieve any email, or 2FA SMS.

Now I lost all and dont know why.

I think you have not activated it long ago. Everything seems to be down and the hackers are easily invaded. Most investors often lose their money because they do not often check their wallets.
I advise you to check your wallet every day to avoid any risk.

Checking your wallet everyday will only permit you to know the exact date the loss occurred.  Checking your wallet everyday doesn't prevent the hacker from getting your money.

LOL, I would give you an upvote if I could. This place (and the exchanges) seem pretty harrsh, but a friend of mine really likes it for some reason. Thanks for the bit of a laugh.

There would have been a huge outcry in all the major social media platforms if Coinbase was hacked. So I would rather say that you were hacked or that Coinbase ToS agreement was broken in some way and they moved your funds. I know Banks close "dormant" accounts if it goes unused for some months. <Coinbase is acting more like a Bank these days>

Did you log a support request yet?

Do You Have Children? Can someone access your account? Have you left your computer somewhere? You downloaded unknown programs ?.
Are you sure you are signing in to this site[1]? It may be a phishing website that enables the hacker to get your password/IP/2FA so you will not get notified.
Communicating with the support team will give you more explicit answers, and posting addresses/TXID may contribute to knowing the hacker. "especially if S/he uses exchange address."

yes that's will the only thing you can do but to prevent hackers from hacking your account make sure that you are careful enough and secure your devices and networks because once this things got compromised then your account is not safe anymore

He just can`t open his account, if he has it at all. Maybe he is just spreading fud, cause I don`t see any screenshots, I don`t see any evidences, all I see is one more newbie spreading lies. We will see will he come back, usually someone make new profile, create couple threads like this one and we never see him again. Without proofs I will not believe in this, he could give us more informations, but like this I doubt that we will ever see logs, screenshots, any kind of proofs that this actually happened.

Is it possible to withdraw funds on Coinbase without a confirmation email? I haven't used Coinbase before, because it is not allowed yet in my country, but Hitbtc works email me first to confirm withdrawal before they release it.

it looks like your account has been hacked, it's not possible that coinbase which is the big platform is hacked, because coinbase usually performs maintenance regularly.
I don't think your coinbase account has been hacked, but the beginning is your hacked email, where hackers know that you have a coinbase account, after that the hacker forgets your password on your coinbase account, and changes the password, and to eliminate the hackers delete email enter from coinbase because the hacker has full access to your e-mail, so please be careful, I often experience this, even my relatives also

or maybe his/her browser just crashed and have an internet problems that's why scripts aren't loading and if I think coinbase will get hacked it will be on the news everywhere because it's a big company.

Since you didn't log in to your account for a long time that's why you didn't able to update some feature so it got hacked easily. Also, Maybe hacker somehow identify that you didn't use it for a while. Next time don't do this mistake. Always try to check your wallet everyday whether you use it or not.

No, no no. Just don't store your valuable coins at an online 3rd party.

Well...I don't think you should say Coinbase exchanger is hacked or so, just say that your own account has been compromised. Because loosing some of your personal asset simply means a simple hack on your account and this can only be achieved with you leaving a loop hole.

Now the technology is upgrading day by day and it is also the demand of the time to keep updated you wallet security regularly. Investors need to check their wallet every day to avoid such problems. It is really sad for you but be updated next time to avoid such problems.

I won't be surprised if that really happened. I had an account on HitBTC and it keeps getting hacked. No matter how many times i changed my password there are still random people logging into my acc.

There's a difference between saying coinbase got hacked, and saying that YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT was hacked. It's exactly stupid headlines that this that contribute to the FUD that surrounds cryptocurrency. I've noticed that it's always low level noobs that have got no idea about how hacks actually work and yet shout their mouth of saying HACK HACK HACK.

You were probably infected with a remote assistance tool and somebody logged in and took your coins, very simple.

You need to update your wallet account regularly. It seems that you have not upgraded your account for long time and so such thing has happened. Try to upgrade you security issue repeatedly for ensuring safety. Try to be very much careful as such events are increasing day by day.

Sorry for your lost man, but the deed has already been done but we will need to advice that we need to secure our assets by way of keeping a high security keys and password in a way that it will be impossible for hackers to get access to your personal account except by hacking the whole exchange entirely.

Because the technology is becoming more dynamic day by day, the people who pose as hackers are coming up with new and unique ways to hack. And we need to be careful in every step of the way. This is sad, but try to be updated to avoid such unfortunate events.

My account is alright, nothing was done and, from my point of view, it was not hacked.
Try to write to the Coinbase support, they must help you

Have you look to the transaction history?

Coinbase wasn't hacked because if it did, many are going to have that complain and it will be on the news. You probably logged in to a phishing link where the hacker is just monitoring your move and when he has chance to do so, he robbed you.

So sorry to hear that my friend. That is why it is necessary to check your wallet every day. It is very dangerous to leave your wallet without checking it for a while. There are so many groups of hackers that are waiting for this kind of mistakes by users.

I will suggest you to use hard wallets instead of wallets in web or mobile phones. Nothing can beat them when security is important. I know they cost a bit  and are less comfortable in everyday use, but when you put it into the shelf in your room, no one can get your money.

I guess its nothing but fud.
there are no evidences about the incident happened moreover many details are missing.
I would suggest you to use 3/4 different wallets that will of course minimize your loss.
And most important thing I personally do not believe because I had more than one coinbase wallet since 2013 and till now its working fine.
It keeps the record of each and every details of login quoting your IP address each time.

I guess either this is some phising attack or something like that or you didn't set up your account security.
Next time enable all 2fa/google authenticator/mail log in etc.

I do not think Coinbase is hacked. What might happen is probably the account you were using is hacked. I would suggest you to check your wallet everyday it is important.

The weight of what you are saying can bring the cryptocurrency market down for months in which I know you will not be happy if it happens. Before you post such news ask your friends to log into the website so that you can be sure if it's only your account that was hacked. 

It is very unfortunate. But try to recall that in this period have you ever downloaded any unrelated or new program to your device which is logged in with the coinbase? If you have then try to figure out whether this program is the reason for your loss.

my advice is to be safe ur email address ,  don't give ur email id to any one. plz dont register with anyone 3rd party apps or any other ico programme or airdrop forms. Plz keep it safe secure ur email id  don't even give to friends.
when u registered in coinbase 2 fa authentication is great to have so that whenever anyone hack or login with ur email id u will get notified  without 2 fa  nobody can access or withdraw the funds. Except if anyone reset ur account with ur login credentials , like example  the passwords logic or same passwords using for diff accounts like facebook or gmail or any other .  plz avoid that kind of passwords  keep it safe and secure the password first.
if anyone reset ur password or email  plz check back ur inbox or spam folder try to see it the ip address try to find it  report in cyber crime department hopefully maybe they can trace .

I am extremely sorry for you. You should have checked your coinbase or wallet every single day. The crypto world is not safe for the normal users who are not cautious about their wallets. Hackers can easily understand that you haven’t logged in your wallet for a while.

Check the transactions.May be your account got hacked
I get email alerts regularly that some one is trying to access my coinbase account from android apps
I have 2FA and SMS  and change my password regularly and I don't understand how my password is cracked by hackers.May be there is some insider involved in selling account data

I don't really get you do you mean your account get hacked because I don't think coinbase is hacked... If it is hacked I will have get news on that.... Maybe someone have gotten access to your account.

That's is very bad news for everyone. I think, you lost coinbase due to your alertness

You been hacked probably. Make sure you clean your PC well.
Contact support but I doubt they would be able to help you.

I don't think it was a multy users hack, from what you say, the only victim was you, so, maybe you have a virus in your phone and computer and that way the hackers get access to your login data. It could be a physical hack too, maybe you leave your PC on and some one get access to it, or some one get your access data with a MITM attack at some coffe shop. Try to figure out how it happen to avoid it happens again.

You are absolutely right, sometimes it is worth spending a little investment to protect your bigger investment. So many bad people are out there who are always looking to exploit vulnerable systems, it is important to keep our assets as safe as we can.

that is absolutely just a rumor,  coinbased not just a small thing like your account it is a huge platform and it is not a easy task to hacked it, one can never do it just like that so I would request you to not to believe such kind of false newses.

Hackers are getting smart day by day, now they can hack any website.

Have you contact the support staff of coinbase ? I think your balance can be recovered if the mistake on their site.
But if you find it the mistake because your account got hacked, then it cannot be helped anymore.
Anyway, always do not leaving your exchange account too long.

To assume that Coinbase is hacked and the whole of crypto market have not taken some massive hit in price is what amazes me in Op and could pass off as a troll. Looking at his post history, it seems this account is only meant to complain about one thing or the other. Someone registered years back and made only seven posts with majority in investors based games and complains.

If you want to be taken seriously, you need to do more than just posting some random thoughts without support.


Of course they are and that is why its expected that platform custodians are also getting up to date about their security infrastructure. Coinbase knows this and I hope they continue to live up to this responsibility.

that is really funny, I hope you don't believe that news coinbase is not a small thing which will be hacked just like that it a website one needs to be very smart about technology to do this even after that it will be not easy for him so we shouldn't believed such things

You should contact the helpline if you are interested in returning what you had in your coinbase account. I assume you were neglected about your account that caused this problem. Hereafter, you should be cautious.

It now a matter of concern because the system is already stable. The investor will get back their money soon. I suggest everyone to check back your wallet every time and try to avoid risk.

This is not only on Coinbase. Most of the exchange kind of wallets following the same I guess because once I was holding funds around 0.04 BTC in my localbitcoins.com account around 6 months I was not used this wallet to exchange or anything.

Once I am in need of money. I was tried to check the wallet but there is no fund there and I do not find the tx id for that too.

Really confused that time I suggest you to hold the funds on private key secured wallets not here.

I have never used Coinbase, but if you set up 2FA security you will not be able to hack the account. I think you may have missed or you accidentally moved it without knowing it. Coinbase will also send you an email in advance to confirm the withdrawal before they release it.

Except if anyone reset ur account with ur login credentials , like example  the passwords logic or same passwords using for diff accounts like facebook or gmail or any others. I think you may have missed or you accidentally moved it without knowing it.

Coinbase is a large company. there is a possibility that coinbase hacked, if it really happens, it will be news everywhere. I think initially your email was hacked, then hackers found out that you have a coinbase account, and changed your password, and hackers delete emails that enter from CoinBase because hackers have full access to your email. Hopefully this can make you more careful in the future!

The activities of hackers is on the rise most recently and the cryptocurrency is a vulnerable grand for them to carry out they activities and even if you have total control of you assets it can still be taking from you without your permission.  In fact most big exchange and block chain wallets are part of this problem, but there are still some reliable one you can choose from.

It is common that hacker will hunt the big exchange since there are more money and as a user of big exchange we have to be cautious when we are transferring funds to the exchange make sure that we don't left them there coinbase I think now got restored but I don't know if hackers still have access to this.
