Still no email from Coinbase, but I’m getting spammed

With the recent Coinbase breach making headlines, I’m wondering how many people here have been directly affected or at least paying close attention to how it happened.

Coinbase said on X that all affected users were notified by email. I never got one, but I’ve started getting random spam calls in the past few days, which makes me question if my info was part of the leak anyway.

What’s wild is that this wasn’t some advanced exploit. A third-party support vendor got compromised. Names, addresses, and ID documents were exposed. Some users are already dealing with fraud attempts and identity theft.

This kind of thing isn’t just a Coinbase problem. It shows how weak internal controls and vendor management still are across the crypto industry. And yet, the tools to prevent this stuff are out there. Companies like CyberCatch are now building crypto-specific compliance platforms focused on real-time control testing, employee threat training, and breach prevention. Feels like this kind of infrastructure should be standard by now, not a niche feature.

Has anyone else here been affected or seen suspicious activity since the breach? Why aren’t more exchanges investing in real security infrastructure before this kind of thing happens?
