Description

I’d like to report a concerning phishing campaign that is actively targeting Coinbase users. Below are the details: 1) Issue Overview: Some users, including myself, are receiving phishing emails disguised as official Coinbase communications. These emails request users to log in through a fraudulent link. 2) Key Concern: Google’s email verification system is incorrectly marking these scam emails as legitimate. As a result, these emails bypass spam filters, significantly increasing their credibility and making them highly dangerous for unsuspecting users. 3) Steps Taken So Far: I’ve contacted Coinbase regarding this issue, and they confirmed that the email address used is not theirs. However, the fact that these phishing attempts are verified as legitimate by Google raises a critical security concern for all affected users. 4) Potential Risk: Users who fall for these scams are at severe risk of losing their funds and personal data. 5) Recommendation: Spread awareness about this phishing campaign. Advise users to double-check email links before logging in and ensure they only use official channels. 6) Request to Coinbase: Please investigate and address this issue as a priority. It’s vital to enhance the detection and prevention of such fraudulent emails.
