Coinbase disclosed a material cybersecurity incident in which an unknown threat actor obtained customer account data and internal documents by paying contractors and employees in support roles outside the United States. The company preliminarily estimates expenses of $180 million to $400 million for remediation and voluntary customer reimbursements, and says the full impact is still being assessed, which matters to shareholders because the cost range is large and could change.

Exposed data reportedly includes names, contact details, masked Social Security and bank account numbers, government ID images, and account balance and transaction history.
