Furthermore, in the filing, Coinbase only mentioned that they had independently detected this data breach in the “previous months,” without stating when exactly they first had knowledge of it. Meanwhile, it assured that the improper data access was part of a single campaign and that the incident did not involve the compromise of passwords or private keys.
The Reuters report mentioned that over 200 TaskUs employees were later fired in a mass layoff that drew Indian media attention. Based on the SEC filing, Coinbase had totally cut ties with TaskUS as the exchange revealed that it was in the process of opening a new support hub in the US. The exchange claimed that it has also taken other measures to harden its defenses to prevent this type of incident.
