It is because of this sole reason that Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, is urging users to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox Web browser or boycott it altogether. Through the web browser, attackers were able to target Coinbase employees putting at risk the exchange’s funds.

“We’ve seen no evidence of exploitation targeting customers. We were not the only crypto org targeted in this campaign. We are working to notify other orgs we believe were also targeted. We’re also releasing a set of IOCs that orgs can use to evaluate their potential exposure.”

Although there are no reports of loss, it is still likely that these attackers had a free pass to Coinbase systems. Cybersecurity experts estimate that these malicious hackers did monitor their system for at least two weeks.

That is despite account holders implementing extra security for their treasured digital assets. Firefox has since patched the loophole.
