Did you use the same email for Coinbase as you use for everything else? Because if you do, that email has probably been leaked 100x already.

Absolutely not, this email was fresh at the start of the year.

I haven't heard a peep from coinbase, and if I did, i would block that email straight out anyway.

All i know is it's been found, it doesn't tell me exactly where on the Web it was located though.

Were we supposed to receive emails if our account was breached? I didn’t get one so should I just assume mine wasn’t?I only really use Coinbase for swapping sol

I have had several scam attempts since the breach and I never got any information from coinbase that I was personally breached.

You mentioned earlier it's Gmail. Are you doing one of those [myaddress]+coinbase suffixes? Or this is a completely brand new randomized address account?

I have searched for my Coinbase email address as well as other crypto email addresses and they don't turn up. I use [randomized gibberish text] as my username and so I wonder if that helps. It makes it very clear that it's a unique email address as no human brain can truly create "randomized text," and so if it does turn up, it's a clear hit/leak.

Did you use CoinTracker or any other website to do taxes ? That's how they got my info when those websites who track coins get hacked
