According to ChainCatcher, Cointelegraph reported that Coinbase denied that its customer data had been leaked and responded to the leakage of employee credentials of the compliance platform Au10tix. Au10tix said that although the credentials had been leaked, there was no evidence that the data had been abused.

The report said that these credentials could allow hackers to obtain sensitive information of users, such as name, date of birth and driver's license image. Au10tix has removed the relevant credentials and strengthened security measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Coinbase did not confirm whether it used Au10tix to store customer data, but insisted that no data leaks had been found so far.
