I tried to reach out to coinbase customer support to see if I was impacted. Once I wasted my time with the AI bot and got a human they were unaware of the breach. I was the first person to inform them about it.

They emailed impacted accounts. Source: I was impacted

    Not sure what to say about that, I had an account with them, but I couldn't verify it, had email, phone and could be some sort of ID scanned - don't remember. Haven't used the account ever since and had nothing there, since January I have been getting regularly calls about my account being "compromised". This leak probably happened way earlier, because there was no way someone knew I had an account there and knew exactly the email I had with them.

    I don't believe they did, and I also believe they have known about this issue for a long time, and they should have been required to disclose their mandatory 8k a lot earlier.

    Was this the general "Important Notice" email that went out this morning, or something more specific.

      The "Important Notice" I got says "This included information related to your account". Also I got an email earlier on April 1 about a breach that sounds very similar if it's not the same one.

    What was the title of the email? I got a generic looking email at 7AM EST this morning describing the breach.
