According to court documents, Mishra took pictures of Coinbase customer data directly from company computers using her phone and agreed to sell the information to criminal networks.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation claims she wasn\u2019t working alone. Mishra and an accomplice allegedly organized a \u201chub-and-spoke conspiracy,\u201d where disconnected groups of TaskUs employees unknowingly participated in the scheme without realizing others were involved. This setup allowed sensitive information to keep flowing out even if one participant was exposed.<\/p>\n<h2>What Data Was Taken<\/h2>\n<p>The compromised information included names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, partial Social Security numbers, masked bank account details, government ID images, and account data.
