> On June 17th, 2019, Coinbase detected and blocked an attempt by an attacker to leverage two Firefox 0-days to target Coinbase employees. The cryptocurrency industry has to expect attacks of this sophistication to continue, and by building infrastructure with excellent defensive posture and working with each other to share information about the attacks we’re seeing, we’ll be able to defend ourselves and support the crypto economy. Coinbase CISO Philip Martin will give a deep dive into the 0-day attack, how Coinbase detected and responded, and how the industry can better prepare for future attacks of this kind.
