Steps to take if your Coinbase account is hacked or compromised
1. Secure your account:
The first step to take if your Coinbase account is hacked or compromised is to secure your account. This means changing your password and enabling two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication is a security measure that requires you to enter a code sent to your phone or email address in order to access your account. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your account.
2. Contact Coinbase:
The next step to take is to contact Coinbase. Coinbase has a dedicated team of experts who can help you investigate and resolve any issues with your account. You can contact them via the Coinbase website or by phone.
3. Monitor your account:
Once your account is secure, it is important to monitor your account for any suspicious activity. Coinbase provides a range of tools to help you monitor your account, such as notifications for any suspicious activity and the ability to view your account history.
4. Report suspicious activity:
If you notice any suspicious activity on your account, it is important to report it to Coinbase immediately. Coinbase can then investigate and take the necessary steps to prevent any further damage.
5. Protect your funds:
Finally, it is important to protect your funds in the event that your account is compromised. Coinbase provides a range of security measures to help protect your funds, such as two-factor authentication and secure storage. It is also important to keep your funds in a secure wallet, such as a hardware wallet, to further protect them.
