Kind regards,

I have no account @ coinbase... Where did they get my email from? Has anyone an idea what they try to do? The email-adress sending this email is: contact@coinbase.com
The subject is: coinbasehack@mailinator.com sent you a payment request for 732342.34425 BTC

What should i do? I havnt clicked any link or something...

I think that is a scam. Maybe their motive is to know if the email their sending has bitcoin in coinbase so they can hack it. My advise is don't bother to enter any information to them even to log in with their links.

I know I can send bitcoins to someone from coinbase having just their e-mail. Perhaps someone can send a request in the same way.

[crazy987]

are you sure the link is going to coinbase?
Its a popular way to scam people.

[SackofBits]

similar email probably the same person i'm sure

I got those too. I just loged into coinbase and decline a coule of payment requests. I wonder where they got my email from.

Hi All,

I received the same email just under an hour ago.

Have deleted it as I don't use Coinbase as, at the time I signed up, they only accepted US Bank account details. 

However the email had my full name on it so they must have hacked the site to obtain this information.

Have deleted the email.

Cheers

It appears the Coinbase customer name/email address data is now in the wild:

I would imagine the Coinbase staff has been slamming Starbucks since 2 AM.

Damn it coinbase... Please don't be Gox 2.0


PS - I blame it on this guy: http://blog.coinbase.com/post/80711658417/welcome-ryan-mcgeehan-and-todd-edebohls-to-coinbase

Who hires security from Facebook to look over your money? lol

Damn it coinbase... Please don't be Gox 2.0

Seriously, we need at least one BTC business that's not a complete f**k up.

Here is one I have received:

Links to coinbase are real. I do not remember I used coinbase but anyway password remind email does not come and a try to register was failed.

[pr0d1gy]

I got emails, and even pending stuff in account... smh...

[C10H15N]

Coinbase has a mess to clean up.   

[CurbsideProphet]

What I want to know is where the hackers got the email addresses from.  The links are legit, they're originating from Coinbase but some users here don't even have an account so it has to be a leak from somewhere else.  Gox database maybe?

Sure you logged into coinbase and not into a lookalike phishing site?

I received 3 payment requests similar to you guys from mailinator. I talked to support and they said somehow they got our email and just can use that to send requests. Just decline the requests and no harm done. When I first logged in i was a little nervous but no big deal they spammed out coinbase like they would your email
