SendGrid Account Breach Was Used to Attack Coinbase, a Bitcoin Exchange

Hackers targeted SendGrid, a mass email service used by 180,000 companies including Uber, Pinterest, Spotify and Foursquare. SendGrid sends transactional emails on behalf of trusted companies like Spotify and Pinterest. The attack follows a similar pattern to an attack last year against a former SendGrid customer.

The attacks were unsuccessful because both clients used two-factor authentication.”]
