Be careful with coinbase

Be careful with coinbase. On 5 Nov my usd account was hacked for 5000 usd, even though I had 2fa enabled. Never using coinbase again.

Sorry to hear that. Keep always in mind that the wolves are at the door.

Coinbase is already processing a couple of my litecoins for 5 hours now. I guess they soon blow with all the people buying and selling.

What I don't understand is how my acct was hacked with 2fa enabled? I did not verify the 2fa code.

I mean someon else verified the 2fa code, but it was not me. Coinbase refuses to cooperate with me. They say the code was verified and as far as they are concerned there was no hack!! But my $5000 is gone.

This not possible, coinbase employees only wire the fiat money to a bank account under your name.

the hacker bought btc with the $5000 and sent them somewhere

Ok, I have understand now. [ someone else verified 2fa, no comment ]  coinbase responsability ?  no  comment.  how these things can happen is a mystery for me. Thank you for sharing experience.

And the annoying thing is that coinbase refuses to explain how it happened.
