Malicious transfer stopped but Coinbase account locked

Tried to make a transfer today and found Coinbase have blocked all transfers until July.

Got in touch and they said a withdrawal had been attempted to a blockchain address 'Cointbase couldn't process for for security reasons). The address wasn't familiar. Googled and the same address is in a Reddit post by someone who'd lost 4k in a phishing scam.

It goes without saying…I should not be holding any funds on Coinbase and it should be in a wallet. I put myself in this situation and will learn from it.

Feel v lucky but unsure what to do now.

I'm assuming I DONT want Coinbase to unlock my account because it's compromised.

Do I need to liquidate, withdraw cash and then buy back in?

I know that's fraught with challenges. Not just in terms of fees and rates. But also in terms of getting the funds back out of my bank account.
