I'm curious to know, in the realm of cryptocurrency and finance, what would be the potential implications if a Coinbase account were to be compromised? Could you elaborate on the potential risks that an individual might face? Would it lead to a loss of funds? What measures does Coinbase take to safeguard its users' accounts and prevent such occurrences? Additionally, what should users do if they suspect their account has been compromised to minimize the damage? Understanding these scenarios and potential outcomes is crucial for anyone involved in the cryptocurrency market.
