The breach has resulted in $400 million in financial losses, encompassing theft and remediation costs. Coinbase faces multiple lawsuits for delayed notifications and alleged negligence in data protection. Users are advised to watch for phishing attempts.

Social engineering attacks pose a significant risk for the affected users, potentially resulting in fund losses. The broader crypto community is concerned about central exchanges’ ability to protect sensitive user data against similar breaches.
