this story doesn't increase my confidence in coinbase at all. it just makes me think they're assclowns for publishing this embarrassing PR puff piece. in fact, it gives me the distinct feeling that coinbase is gonna get hacked in the future.
worth cross-posting:
doesn't sound very sophisticated at all
"our employees, who have externally reachable email and sufficient account rights to handle funds, did not fall for a phishing email"
Coinbase are not just lying scumbags (they have a history of lying to customers), they're also hilariously incompetent while actually attempting a positive PR story. Quite frankly, ROFL
seriously, did anybody read the phishing emails? they literally read like a nigerian bank wire scam. any employee who would fall for those is a literal retard. and the blog further implies that compromising these employee machines constituted a serious risk.
security-first culture at coinbase? i think not!
