Overview

• The filing identifies TaskUs employee Ashita Mishra as a central conspirator, alleging she began stealing Coinbase customer data in September 2024 by photographing records and selling them for about $200 per image.
• Plaintiffs say Mishra’s phone held data on more than 10,000 users and describe a hub‑and‑spoke scheme across TaskUs’s India operations that recruited additional staff.
• The complaint alleges TaskUs dismissed roughly 300 India employees in January and later fired HR investigators, characterizing the actions as efforts to suppress knowledge of the breach.
• Plaintiffs claim TaskUs failed to disclose a material incident in a February Form 10‑K and moved forward with a roughly $1.6 billion Blackstone take‑private deal before Coinbase’s May disclosure.
• Coinbase says fewer than 1% of monthly transacting users were affected, has reimbursed victims, cut ties with TaskUs, tightened controls, and offered a $20 million reward, with losses estimated at up to $400 million.
