Man loses all his Bitcoin after fraudster hijacks his phone number hacks his accounts

“Coinbase acknowledges having your personal information compromised can lead to terrible crimes with significant impact on consumers. With more and more of our personal information available online, it is increasingly important for consumers to understand how to protect their personal email accounts and cell phones from unauthorized third parties. Once a third party gains access to a consumer’s email or phone, that consumer’s other online accounts may also be at risk. That is why Coinbase regularly works to educate our customers about how to protect their personal email accounts and phones — it is the most important thing they can do to prevent unauthorized access to all of their online accounts, not just Coinbase. When a customer reaches out to report a potential breach of their account, we will lock their account as soon as possible, so no further unauthorized activity can take place.
