Good thing for two-factor authentication. Coinbase account definitely hacked.

Guess I'm gonna have to move ALL of my coin to paper wallets. Seems like Coinbase is no longer safe even for the tiniest bit of coin I had on there.

Wait...  You didn't realize someone who could guess your e-mail address could send a password reset request?

Look, careful planning and use of multiple wallets to improve security, including paper wallets or other offline wallets is smart.

Right now,  I do believe your priority should be to make sure your EMAIL account has 2-factor authentication enabled, and that you are using a SECURE  e-mail provider,  not one like Apple, that might allow  someone else to reset your email account creds by making a phone call or otherwise social-engineering support.

I would suggest booting from a bootable Linux CD  (to sidestep, just in case of PC-based malware),  log into your CB and E-mail account, and carefully go over your security questions.

Make sure none of the security questions are guessable.
MAYBE change them all  (write down and vault the new answers), for good measure.

to the OP even account with 2fa isn't safe every time... rooting your phone you are letting some people free in plus there is such a big amount of malware in play store that sooner or later someone will get what they want...

I can confirm this. The amount of malware in the play store is actually disturbing. Here at college they have some pretty strict network standards as far as malware goes and my phone got kicked off the wifi because an update to one of the apps had malware with it. Rooting your phone makes it that much easier.

Amazed people are still just realizing this.

Got an authentication text from Coinbase out of the blue and thought it was suspicious so I logged on to my account and had a password reset request from China...

*Edit*: This stupid fu*k has now hacked into my email. Anybody else out there with a little hacking no how, feel free to return the favor.

Do you re-use the password on other sites? If so, which? This answer might point to where this is coming from.

If you don't, it might suggest that you have some form of virus/keylogger/trojan on your machine.

Recommend LastPass for managing complex and unique passwords.

Ok, but this means someone hacking your Bitcoin account needs:

- Your email
- Your username on Coinbase
- Your phone number
- Access to your phone

That's a lot of stuff.  I'd say it's rather unlikely for all to be compromised by the same person without your PC being compromised.

Better not buy a iPhone 5S, they could cut your finger off to get into your system!

Statistically, your home PC is probably a greater risk than Coinbase.

Is there proof of this?

Yes. You have minor security with minor knowledge, they have a team working on keeping everything secure.

You should have a 2FA option on your email account as well.  If not, find one that offers it.

And in future. Watch out for Chinese people or anybody holding chop sticks. Job done

Chop Sticks.... Metal, bamboo or plastic?

Your email security should be the most important! you should have two-factor authentification on you email before anything else (of course I'm talking about your main email adress) gmail offers that and I'm sure other mail services do aswell
