Coinbase suffered a massive data breach. But no, its systems didn’t get hacked. Humans did. We unpack how bribery, social engineering, and KYC failures put Coinbase users at risk, and why this keeps happening across crypto. 🎧👇 w/ Jameson Lopp, James Wester and Alexander Leishman 🇺🇸.

@lopp @jameswester @Leishman a lot to unpack, but it’s gotta be done. human error needs to be talked about enough if we want a safer space 🍞🔍

@lopp @jameswester @Leishman their "system" is everything, so if it includes humans and they got hacked well then their system got hacked.

@lopp @jameswester @Leishman In fact, the Bybit hack was also all about the human factor. It wasn't technology. Time to outsource security to machines?

KYC doesn’t just put your data at risk; it puts people at risk. Hackers recently demanded $20 million in Bitcoin from Coinbase, threatening to leak sensitive customer data. While no passwords or private keys were accessed, the attackers obtained full names, addresses, contact details, partial Social Security and bank account numbers, and identity documents. This is the kind of data that can be weaponised for identity theft, fraud, or worse. This is exactly the kind of risk I raised on the compliance panel at the Financial Times Digital Assets Summit last week. While KYC and compliance frameworks are presented as security features, they often do the opposite. They create massive, centralised honeypots of personal data that can and do get breached, sold, or exploited. We’ve seen what can happen when that data gets into the wrong hands. Earlier this year, David Balland, the co-founder of Ledger, was kidnapped along with his wife. His captors cut off one of his fingers and sent it to a business associate to demand crypto ransom. He was rescued by French special forces, but the message was clear: real-world consequences are now linked to digital identity exposure. We need better solutions that don’t force users to sacrifice privacy and safety for access. Compliance shouldn’t come at the cost of security.

🚨 Coinbase CEO Dumps $550m Of Stock Onto The Market As The Centralized Exchange Faces Potential Solvency Issues, With Customer Funds At Risk Coinbase has been desperately opposing the Clarity Act but why? Because it could get insolvent👇 The CLARITY Act targets stablecoin yield programs, cutting off one of Coinbase’s biggest revenue streams by restricting how platforms earn from customer deposits and interest, and forcing a shift toward fully regulated, lower-margin models. • White House crypto adviser stated crypto is “threatening to community banks, G-SIBs, and larger banks.” • Treasury Secretary Bessent called opponents of the CLARITY Act “recalcitrant actors.” • Coinbase reported a large quarterly loss: •EPS: -$2.49 vs $0.96 expected •Net loss: ~$667M • Coinbase CEO Dumps $550m Of Stock just a few months before these results came out. • Coinbase Support acknowledged users were unable to buy, sell, or transfer temporarily. • Coinbase is now charging $137 in fees for converting $5000 USDT to USD, while in the advanced trades it takes 2 cents. • Jeffrey Epstein has invested $3M into Coinbase (2014) at a ~$400M valuation, who saw Ripple as “an enemy.” The exchange could potentially face a “bank run” if issues escalate and funds on Coinbase would be at risk. This is exactly the reason why David Schwartz recently said that XRPL is the most decentralized ledger and helps people become their “own bank” by eliminating middlemen like banks and centralized exchanges.

DROPS E25: Shaaran 🛸 from Multipli.fi: Why Trillions Will Soon Move On-Chain! In this episode, Shaaran breaks down why stablecoins, tokenization, on-chain yield, and the US debt system are all converging into the biggest shift crypto has ever seen - and how Multipli is building the infrastructure to power it. We talk about: - How Shaaran went from 13-year-old Solidity hacker to building a million-user exchange - Why “stablecoins aren’t stable” and how the US debt system resembles a Ponzi - Why the US wants stablecoin adoption - and why yields can’t be passed - The coming tokenization wave: gold, oil, bank reserves, sovereign wealth, everything - The coming “global hunt for yield” as trillions move on-chain - How Multipli helps any asset (BTC, gold, RWA) - generate transparent, risk-adjusted yield And much more!
