Coinbase customer contact data caught in analytics vendor Amplitude's security incident

Coinbase said a security incident at analytics vendor Amplitude compromised contact data for a “small subset” of its customers. In a late Tuesday statement, it denied any breach of Coinbase’s own systems and said other Amplitude clients had also been affected. SlowMist’s 23pds claims more than 70,000 were hit “Coinbase has not had a data breach,” the exchange’s support account wrote on X. The post depicted it as a security incident at Amplitude, an analytics vendor, that “impacted a small subset of Coinbase customer contact data, among other Amplitude customers.” Coinbase said it found no signs of any unauthorized access to its systems. The exchange said customer funds were not touched. The company is notifying impacted customers and regulatory bodies as required by law.
