Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase was reportedly aware since January 2025 of a customer data leak at an outsourcing company, which has been linked to an India-based employee of TaskUs. The breach is estimated to potentially cost up to $400 million.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that a TaskUs employee in India was caught taking photographs of her work computer with her personal phone. Coinbase was notified immediately following the discovery of this incident.
This event highlights the operational and security risks associated with outsourced digital services, particularly concerning sensitive customer data. The incident could have implications for TaskUs's client relationships and its reputation for data security.
