Coinbase officially stated that it is cooperating with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office in New York, assisting in the investigation of a long-term impersonation fraud case targeting platform users and supporting victims in recovering funds.According to the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, a Brooklyn man has been charged with long-term impersonation of Coinbase customer service, using social engineering techniques to mislead users into believing their accounts were compromised and requesting them to transfer funds to a "secure wallet," subsequently transferring and stealing the funds. The case involves approximately 100 victims, with the amount in question nearing $16 million, and over $600,000 has been recovered so far.Coinbase stated that such scams do not stem from platform security vulnerabilities but are social engineering attacks that exploit user trust and urgency, with common tactics including identity forgery, impersonating customer service, and creating account risk panic. The company claims to have cooperated with law enforcement to complete various investigative tasks, including identifying suspects, assisting victims in notifications, providing legal request data support, and on-chain fund tracking, emphasizing that blockchain traceability helps law enforcement track the flow of funds.Coinbase also reminds users that the platform will never ask users to transfer funds to a "secure wallet," nor will it request 2FA verification codes, recovery phrases, or password reset links, and advises users to contact customer service only through official in-app channels. The company will continue to strengthen anti-fraud mechanisms, user education, and cooperation with law enforcement to address the increasingly complex cryptocurrency asset fraud.

It is expected that next week's CPI data will show the core inflation rate rising to 2.9%, with overall inflation soaring 4.2% year-on-year.
