Coinbase Account Restrictions Amidst Fraud Surge Coinbase users report account restrictions, prompting Coinbase Support to caution against believing all X posts. Recent weeks have seen increased attacks, with “skiddies” impersonating support and draining accounts. Coinbase attributes this to a post-election user surge and increased fraudulent attempts, claiming its systems prevented tens of millions in losses in November.
