A Coinbase user was likely social engineered and scammed for 110 cbBTC ($11.5M) on Base last month by a threat actor. The stolen funds were immediately swapped, bridged, and laundered through multiple instant exchanges and funds consolidated with other Coinbase victims on Ethereum. Theft transaction hash 0x8639f4b4420d47d68f27dc27967ff62ec913106e5b9ce99011de99b8d91813cd 0xb5895314777776da645529df83cd0d0883ed456e2c81e27c97eb5cf45a59c36b 0xfa26f3917519444c7d3d9ca05fc70b289d44958cb55801b9221d7b492f41c76d Coinbase social engineering scams have resulted in $150M+ / yr stolen from users due to data breaches, email/call spoofing, bad detection, etc

Ledger had me use a sketchy swap provider via their ui (I just hit Swap button). The swap service left no trace, even ledger couldnβt diagnose it. Had funds stolen. Itβs not a panacea. Switched to Tangem for hard wallet. They only use vetted partners.

We can see the transactions and wallet numbers in the transactions list in Ledger but the Swaps list is blank.

I donβt remember and ledger canβt tell me because they didnβt keep a record of it. Clearly a security hole in their platform.
