原标题:Coinbase史上最严重泄密案内鬼曝光,外包客服手机偷拍上万客户资料,一张照片卖200美金


今年5月,Coinbase披露黑客窃取了数千名客户的个人数据,并利用这些信息诱骗受害者交出加密资产。Coinbase表示此次事件可能导致其损失高达4亿美元。根据官方说法,此次黑客攻击源自印度一家外包公司的内部人员,但美国这家最大加密交易所一直未透露具体涉案人员信息。最新的法院文件则揭示了一名嫌疑人的身份及其在此次事件中所扮演的角色,这也是Coinbase历史上最严重的一次安全漏洞。

根据集体诉讼律所Greenbaum Olbrantz周二提交的修正诉状,此次黑客事件与TaskUs员工Ashita Mishra有关。TaskUs是一家总部位于德州的上市公司,主要业务是为大型科技公司提供外包客服支持,并在低成本劳动力市场开展业务。Mishra就职于TaskUs位于印度印多尔的服务中心。

诉讼指称,自2024年9月起,Mishra开始窃取机密客户数据,包括社会安全号码和银行账户信息。她同意将这些信息出售给黑客,黑客随后冒充Coinbase员工,诱骗受害者转移加密资产。

从2024年9月至2025年1月,Mishra与另一名同伙招募更多TaskUs员工参与窃取客户信息,形成了一个“复杂的辐射式阴谋网络”,通过TaskUs电脑将Coinbase客户数据输送给犯罪分子。诉状援引一名前TaskUs员工的说法称,甚至连团队主管和运营经理也参与其中。

当TaskUs最终意识到问题时,Mishra的手机中已保存超过1万名Coinbase客户的数据。诉状指出,Mishra及其同伙每张照片可获得200美元的报酬,有时她一天会拍摄多达200张Coinbase客户账户的照片。Coinbase在监管文件中披露,最终受影响的客户超过6.9万人。

根据《财富》此前报道,此次行贿计划的幕后主谋似乎是一些十几岁或二十出头的年轻人,他们隶属于一个名为“the Comm”的松散黑客组织。

有关数据盗窃从2024年9月开始的指控意义重大,因为Coinbase此前曾表示攻击发生在12月下旬。

在另一项值得注意的发展中,TaskUs本月声称,不仅外部供应商,Coinbase内部员工也涉及此次黑客事件,但该公司并未进一步说明。

事件曝光后,Coinbase一名发言人向《财富》表示:“我们立即通知了受影响用户和监管机构,补偿了受影响的客户,加强了对供应商和内部人员的管控,并终止了与TaskUs的合作关系。我们拒绝向犯罪分子支付赎金,而是设立了2000万美元的奖励,用于征集能导致嫌犯被捕和定罪的信息。”

对于修正诉状,TaskUs未立即作出回应。《财富》也未能立即找到Ashita Mishra的联系方式。

TaskUs此前曾对《财富》表示:“公司将客户及其用户数据的安全视为最高优先事项,并会持续加强全球安全协议与培训项目。”

一系列的掩盖行为

诉状所描绘的故事,是迄今为止关于今年最大加密货币黑客事件之一、也是Coinbase十余年历史中最严重漏洞的最详细记录。

其他原告律师此前已就此次黑客事件起诉Coinbase,而Coinbase一直推动将这些诉讼纳入仲裁程序。仲裁历来帮助企业减轻财务损失和负面舆论,这或许也解释了为什么该集体诉讼律所选择起诉外包方TaskUs,而不是直接起诉Coinbase。

在诉状中,该律所指控TaskUs“采取措施让知情者保持沉默”。据《财富》此前报道,今年1月,TaskUs在印多尔解雇了226名员工。诉状援引一名前员工的说法称,公司采取这一极端举措,是因为密谋团体“已如此全面渗透到TaskUs系统中,以至于公司无法识别所有涉案人员”。

此外,在2月10日,TaskUs决定解雇原本负责调查泄密事件的人力资源团队。诉状称,这种做法是一种“一系列的掩盖行为”。

Greenbaum Olbrantz此次提交的新法院文件,是对5月最初诉状的修正版。当时Coinbase刚披露黑客事件约两周。该律所此前曾发起多起高调诉讼,包括指控航空公司出售“靠窗座位”,却实际将乘客安排在没有窗户的墙边。

Coinbase方面则试图将这起诉讼纳入针对该交易所所有黑客相关案件的合并诉讼中。而TaskUs则提出动议,要求驳回这起诉讼,并阻止其被纳入更大范围的合并诉讼。

Greenbaum Olbrantz联合创始人Carter Greenbaum在一份声明中表示:“我们的修正诉状前所未有地揭示了此次数据泄露事件是如何发生的,我们将继续努力追究所有相关责任方的法律责任。”

Leading Players in Large Models Drain the Primary Market

The AI industry is witnessing an unprecedented concentration of capital into a handful of leading players, signaling what insiders call the "eve of a final shakeout." A staggering funding surge exceeding $7 billion hit just three Chinese companies in May alone—Kimi, StepFun (接近完成融资), and DeepSeek—with the latter's valuation reaching $45-$50 billion. Globally, giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX (set to merge with xAI) are preparing for public listings, collectively eyeing valuations over $3 trillion. This capital is no longer fueling a broad "hundred-model war" but is being funneled to "refuel" the final few contenders, following a sector-wide attrition rate exceeding 90%. This frenzy is driven by a fundamental shift in industry logic. The focus has moved from比拼模型智商 (competing on model intelligence) to "token factory economics." The explosion of long-context AI agents has massively increased token consumption per task. With token supply constrained by bottlenecks in HBM memory and power infrastructure—key factors in production costs—dominance now hinges on owning and efficiently operating large-scale compute resources. Major tech firms are investing hundreds of billions annually in this AI "power grid." Consequently, competition pivots to three core areas: 1) **Monetization** as the "AGI premium" cools, forcing a shift from user growth to revenue; 2) **Cost efficiency**, where reducing inference costs becomes the ultimate KPI as model capabilities commoditize; and 3) **Strategic path divergence** between enterprise-focused AI (prioritizing integration and reliability) and consumer-facing applications (betting on scale and user engagement). The message is clear: the final capital injections are determining the endgame lineup. Success will depend not just on technical prowess, but on transforming technology into a sustainable, profitable business model with demonstrable return on massive compute investments.

AI Giants Queueing Up for IPOs: Is This the 'Last Dance' for the U.S. Stock Market?

A massive wave of IPOs from AI giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX is taking shape, potentially reshaping the U.S. stock market. OpenAI is reportedly preparing for a historic IPO, targeting a valuation over $1 trillion and raising roughly $60 billion, which would dwarf previous records. Anthropic is also advancing its own IPO plans, projecting significant revenue growth and achieving quarterly operating profit. However, their financial profiles starkly differ. While Anthropic is nearing profitability with a focus on enterprise clients, OpenAI continues to report substantial losses, with a negative operating margin and expectations for positive cash flow only by 2029-2030. Analysts warn these listings could trigger a major "passive fund reshuffle," forcing index funds to sell holdings in established tech giants to make room for the new entrants, potentially pressuring the broader market. Some observers view the IPO rush as a "risk transfer," allowing early private investors to cash out at peak valuations while passing future financial uncertainty to public market investors. The divergent paths of Anthropic's near-term profitability versus OpenAI's long-term, high-cost growth narrative present a critical choice for investors. The outcome of these IPOs is seen as a major swing factor for risk assets in 2026, testing whether this surge marks a new cycle or a potential peak.

The Richest Fed Chair in 112 Years Is Here: Kevin Warsh Is Rewriting the Rules

Kevin Warsh, with a personal fortune exceeding $130 million, became the 112nd and wealthiest Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve on May 22nd. A former Wall Street investment banker and key figure during the 2008 financial crisis, Warsh lacks a traditional academic background for a central banker but brings deep market experience. He proposes an unconventional policy approach of simultaneously reducing the Fed's balance sheet ("quantitative tightening") while cutting interest rates, arguing that a smaller balance sheet would allow for more effective rate policy. His ascent marks a potential regime change at the Fed. Warsh aims to reform the institution's decision-making processes, tighten communication discipline among officials, and reduce reliance on forward guidance like the "dot plot." This shift responds to the Fed's current dilemma: fiscal policy is expanding the government's balance sheet through deficits, while monetary policy's ability to shrink its own $6.7 trillion balance sheet is severely constrained, creating pressure on long-term interest rates. Analysts expect Warsh's tenure to sustain high volatility in the U.S. Treasury market due to persistent supply pressures. Furthermore, his leadership coincides with a gradual, structural erosion of dollar dominance, evidenced by its declining share in global reserves and cracks in the petrodollar system, with increased use of alternatives like the Chinese yuan in oil trade. For investors, this environment underscores the importance of portfolio diversification, including assets like gold and Chinese sovereign bonds, amid a fluctuating dollar credit anchor.

τ Scaling: Huawei's New Growth Engine Designed for the Post-Moore Era

**Tau Scaling: Huawei's New Growth Engine for the Post-Moore Era** For 60 years, progress in semiconductors was driven by Moore's Law – making transistors smaller, denser, and cheaper. This path has now stalled due to plummeting returns below 7nm, astronomical lithography costs, and rising per-transistor expenses. After six years and testing 381 production chips, Huawei’s semiconductor team proposes a fundamental shift: **stop competing on size, start competing on time**. This is the core of their "τ (Tau) Scaling" theory. It treats *time* as the key optimization metric, compressing characteristic delays (τ) across all levels – from transistor switching (picoseconds) to data center tasks (seconds), spanning 12 orders of magnitude. **What is τ Scaling?** It holistically minimizes delay/time constants (τ) across four layers: transistors (switching speed), circuits (signal delay), chips (compute/memory access), and systems (end-to-end communication). The goal is to align optimization from process and circuit design to architecture and systems using this unified metric. **Mobile Application: LogicFolding** Without advancing the process node, this technique vertically stacks chips using ultra-precision hybrid bonding, distributing critical paths across layers ("stacking floors"). Results include a 55% transistor density increase, 41% better energy efficiency, over 40% higher SRAM frequency, and a roadmap targeting 4GHz by 2029. **AI Data Center Application: Full-Link Latency Compression** With 80% of AI cluster energy and 70% cost spent on data movement, the focus is slashing communication time. Key innovations include: 1. **Unified Bus:** Cuts multi-layer protocols, reducing remote access latency from microseconds to ~100 nanoseconds – 500x faster. 2. **Hi-ONE Optical Interconnect:** Replaces copper with fiber, enabling 8Tb/s per module and scaling distances from 1m to 100m for 10,000-chip clusters. 3. **3D Folding:** Solves the "interface bottleneck" of 2.5D packaging by vertically integrating memory, power, and optical I/O alongside compute, predicting over 100x integration density gain by 2035. **Re-fusion of Logic and Memory** The AI era, where data movement is more critical than computation, demands tight 3D integration of logic and memory, shifting industry influence towards memory and advanced packaging. **Remaining Challenges** include adapting EDA tools for 3D design, optimizing wafer-to-wafer process variation and vertical interconnect losses, and establishing new energy efficiency and benchmarking standards. **Conclusion:** The era of scaling physical dimensions is over. The era of scaling time has begun. By leveraging 3D stacking, system architecture, and interconnect optimization—rather than solely chasing advanced lithography—performance and efficiency can continue to advance. This is poised to be the semiconductor industry's core roadmap for the next decade.

NodeStrategy: The First Ordinals DAT Project, Bringing the Strategy Treasury Narrative to NFTs

**Summary: The Fundamental Flaws of NodeStrategy, the 'First Ordinals DAT'** NodeStrategy presents itself as the first Ordinals Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) on Bitcoin. Its model mirrors MicroStrategy's treasury narrative but for NFTs, specifically targeting the NodeMonkes collection (not officially affiliated). The project's core mechanism is a four-step flywheel: a 10% fee on all trades (90% to treasury, 10% to radFi/Bound marketplace) is used to buy NodeMonkes. These NFTs are then listed for sale on Satflow, with 100% of the sale proceeds used to buy back and burn the project's token, NODESTRAT, aiming to create a perpetual value cycle. However, the design contains critical, self-defeating flaws: 1. **Platform Lock-In:** As a Bitcoin Rune, NODESTRAT lacks smart contract functionality and cannot natively enforce the 10% fee. The fee can only be collected on the radFi/Bound marketplace itself. This makes the entire flywheel dependent on a single platform. If liquidity moves elsewhere, fee revenue drops to zero, halting the mechanism. 2. **Self-Suffocating Economics:** The 10% fee acts both as the flywheel's fuel and a major drag on demand. A buy/sell roundtrip incurs a 20% cost, creating a massive hurdle for traders. This strangles the very trading volume needed to generate fees. 3. **Ineffective Value Support:** The flywheel is starved. Low daily volume (~$9K) generates minimal fees for NFT purchases. The NFT "ladder" sales are slow and unpredictable (only 39 total sold), meaning buybacks are infrequent. While 30.77% of the supply has been burned, this supply reduction cannot lift price without corresponding demand, which is suppressed by the high transaction tax. 4. **Meaningless NAV:** The Net Asset Value (NAV), currently at a 0.46x discount to market cap, is merely a marketing figure. There is no redemption mechanism for token holders to claim the underlying NodeMonkes assets. Price is set by market liquidity flows, not by this theoretical backing. In essence, NodeStrategy's design forces its revenue source (trading fees) to simultaneously cripple the demand and liquidity required for its own success, trapping the project in a stagnant state.
