Ah! Good idea! I'll implement it now :)

The HipChat notifications go off at a fixed time (9AM and 9PM UTC) every day, however in the future I may add a feature to let people set the time the bot posts.

I just released this, so unfortunately I don't have an archive (yet).

However, you can view a fully filled example here: http://websecweekly.org/static/newsletters/example.html

Thanks!

I'm happy to answer questions and take any feedback :) Thanks all.

I don't think you understand, the PoC is not supposed to be a PoC for phishing but rather a PoC for their lack of rate limiting [1] , and user enumeration. I have showed the first name and last name [2], but have accordingly blurred them out [3] as I felt it was only appropriate.

In the technical section, I demonstrate where the first and last name would show up in the response from Coinbase. If you still think it's unclear, let me know, as reporting is something I wish to improve critically.

I appreciate the response from the Bitcoin community and the semi-fix from Coinbase they wish to implement in the future (optional masking of names on coinbase). However, I do also hope that rate limiting is implemented in the future, as I still personally consider this insecure by design.

The actual bug report is the technical section of my blog post:

http://blog.shubh.am/full-disclosure-coinbase-security/#tech...

You're reading the Proof of Concept, which is meant to be a practical demonstration of how once could use the bug to their advantage. I didn't document the proof of concept in detail, to ensure that others couldn't easily use the blog post as a guide to harvesting Coinbase emails.

Hey, I'm the author of this blog post. I think you're mistaken, I didn't send any phishing emails to anyone. All the emails were sent through coinbase via their request money featurein which I am trying to get them to fix. All emails to you were from Coinbase legitimately and none of them are phishing for your credentials. The lack of rate limiting on the api which allows for money requests is hence very dangerous.
