In May 2025, Coinbase disclosed that it had fallen victim to a major cyberattack which might cost the company between $180 million and $400 million. The attack resulted in unauthorized access to account data of a small subset of users, including names, addresses, and emails. Crucially, hackers did not obtain login credentials or passwords, which mitigates the risk of immediate account theft or unauthorized transactions.

This breach highlights the continuing challenges cryptocurrency platforms face regarding security in the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. Users should remain vigilant and consider additional security measures such as two-factor authentication and using trusted platforms for their crypto activities.

In this context, innovative services like Bitlet.app stand out by offering a secure environment along with unique features such as Crypto Installment service. Bitlet.app allows users to purchase cryptocurrencies now and pay for them monthly, enhancing accessibility without compromising safety.

As the crypto space grows, adopting platforms that prioritize both convenience and strong security measures becomes more important. If you are considering expanding your crypto portfolio, exploring options like Bitlet.app could provide a safer and more flexible path forward.
