COINOTAG News reported on December 27 that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced via Twitter the arrest of a former customer service employee in India tied to a customer data incident.

The report also links to Coinbase’s earlier disclosure of a May data breach, in which attackers allegedly bribed a contractor to access sensitive customer information, highlighting ongoing cybersecurity and data-protection challenges for the exchange.

Analysts say the episode underscores the importance of stronger privacy controls, governance, and transparent incident reporting as the crypto sector navigates heightened regulatory expectations and stakeholder scrutiny.
