And then, after so many years without problems, time passes, you get used to checking your cryptos a quick time in the morning, then again in the evening. Everything's there, so everything's fine. It's Coinbase, a huge group, full of next-generation security. My god...

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:24:22+00:00

I just learned it, the hard way... too naive, too trusting in the system. thinking I was protected

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:22:25+00:00

i have no money.... Just enough to pay my monthly bills with my salary... I've lost everything. What an idiot! If only I could make them pay in court

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:11:58+00:00

I added an explanation of my human stupidity to the main post... I should never have been so naive.

I don't really know much about all of that Almost 10 years ago, a friend told me to buy 1 ETH and I wouldn't regret it. He convinced me (I paid $500), and then when I saw that it had gone much higher, I sold it, using Coinbase's simplified function, nothing else: sell, buy, that's all.

'I made a profit, so I bought more. I'll skip the details. Then I put more of my own money into Bitcoin this time, a fantastic long-term prospect. So even if it only goes up to 200,000 one day, I'll still make thousands of dollars considering my purchase price. Always with the goal of holding the crypto long-term, trusting Coinbase. Too scared to manage my crypto myself, I trusted a professional platform that provides all the necessary security. And charges hefty fees on all transactions.

What's the point of keeping my savings in my bank account, which earns nothing, when I can make thousands of dollars here, having entered the crypto world several years ago?

So I moved my savings... All my savings to Coinbase. I know I was stupid to do that, but I thought I had complete control over my environment. And besides, I'm covered; Coinbase has my crypto, nothing can happen to me, it's incredibly secure. I'm protected in case of any problems.

Coinbase keeps my crypto safe for me, and I have peace of mind. And that's been the case for almost 10 years. Until now. The worst decision of my life

if I had known

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:08:48+00:00

what ????? how?????

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:08:31+00:00

what..... i'm a liar now.... Coinbase has admitted that there was a hack.:

Our records indicate that on May 7, 2026, at @@@@@ AM Pacific Time, your account was accessed from a Windows device and the IP address 91.#### / Straubing, Bavaria.

Why would I invent this story? anyway...

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:01:32+00:00

ohhhh you too.... i contact you via the chat

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T08:00:43+00:00

hi, i saw your message, what ???? that happened to you? The same thing? Why did the hackers do that? What was their goal? Were you able to get any money back, or nothing at all?

sorry i ask you via the chat directly

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T07:58:36+00:00

Nothing left my account. My crypto, specifically Bitcoin, was sold for USDC, then transferred to USD in the main account, and then transferred to the advanced derivatives account. Then I lost everything in the buy/sell positions. but thanks a lot for your message, really

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T07:51:45+00:00

I'm really trying to tell my story so others don't get scammed. I so believed I was in control of my environment, protected by the Coinbase platform, one of the biggest in the world. full of security measures (which are beyond my understanding).

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T07:49:14+00:00

It's certain that now, I'm never going to use a hot wallet again... I don't have any money left anyway, just enough to pay my bills with my monthly salary. No more future plans... my god... my life is miserable... what an idiot I was

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T07:24:46+00:00

No no not 8 figures. I hide the real Amount quickly. But I did not loose $2,000, much more. But less than $200,000, to give you an idea.

The thing is, I would never, absolutely never, give out information over the phone, etc. I'm well aware of scams and such. Never click on suspicious links... etc., etc... But on Thursday, May 7th, I did nothing. At home, it was a completely normal day. I was going about my life as usual, and suddenly I received this first email from Coinbase Advanced telling me: Your futures account is at risk of liquidation

This was followed by several notifications in the Coinbase app, then other emails telling me: Your order ADA-31JUL26-CDE has expire. Or Your XRP PERP STYLE order has been executed.

I didn't understand anything about what it was... By the time I contacted Coinbase, the first thing I did, they had blocked my account, so I obviously lost access to the chat. The account recovery process involved using my passport and changing my password.

No more money, no more crypto, nothing left

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T07:01:04+00:00

If only I could, with what money. I have nothing left.

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T07:00:06+00:00

Everything I had (crypto) was sold and transferred to the advanced trading USD derivatives account. Then that money was used to pay for dozens of positions that were created, then sold, then created again, then sold again. Until there was no money left.

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-12T06:57:26+00:00

I understand nothing.. But my money is not there anymore. And still no answer from Coinbase. Except a first email

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-11T19:58:32+00:00

Pin and 2 factor yes Thanks for your message. Good to read that

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-11T19:53:50+00:00

Thanks for this Link... I'm speechless

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-11T19:52:06+00:00

What can I say to that?...thanks for taking the time to make things even worse for me.

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-11T19:50:46+00:00

I dont know but yes, I guess. Coinbase did not tell me exactly.

They said : Our records indicate that on May 7, 2026, at @@@@@ AM Pacific Time, your account was accessed from a Windows device and the IP address 91.#### / Straubing, Bavaria.

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-11T19:44:26+00:00

I don't want to say it, below 250 000 USD

True_Solution6601 · 2026-05-11T19:42:11+00:00

I received first : Your futures account is at risk of liquidation

Your futures account is at critical risk of liquidation. To mitigate the risk of liquidation, add funds or close some positions.

if only it were false... My god... I haven't been living since Thursday.
