Coinbase today denied any breach of its customer data, responding to a breach of employee credentials at compliance platform Au10tix. Au10tix said that although the credentials had been compromised, there was currently no evidence that the data had been misused. The report said the credentials could have allowed hackers to gain access to sensitive information about users, such as names, dates of birth and driver's license images. Au10tix has removed the credentials and strengthened security measures to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
Coinbase did not confirm whether it used Au10tix to store customer data, but insisted that no data breach had been detected so far.
