On or around December 26, 2024, Coinbase, Inc. (“Coinbase”) identified suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Coinbase determined that cybercriminals infiltrated its inadequately secured computer systems and gained access to its data files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals potentially accessed and/or stole files containing the sensitive personal information of potentially 69,461 individuals.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Personal identifiers (e.g., name, date of birth, masked social security numbers (last 4digits), masked bank account numbers and some bank account identifiers, address,phone number, email address)
- Images of Government identification information (e.g., driver’s license number, passport number, national identity card number)
- Account information (e.g., transaction history, balance, transfers, date you opened your account)
As a result of the Coinbase data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.

We are evaluating legal options, including a potential class action lawsuit, to recover damages for individuals who were affected by the Coinbase data breach.
