No customer-funds hack is in our curated data. It does list: 2023-03: Zengo 'red pill' research: transaction-simulation bypass affected Coinbase Wallet among others; fixed; no user funds reported stolen.
Each criterion gets 0–10 from cited evidence (curated dated data, live independent reviews, and AI analysis that must quote its source verbatim). Weights are normalized to 100%; missing data is scored at a conservative placeholder (5/10, or the comparison median if lower) so it can't lift a rank, and real-evidence share is shown as coverage. Under 75% coverage can't be the pick; within 3 points is Too close to call. Platforms with an unreimbursed customer-funds hack in the last 48 months are capped at 60% and can't be the pick. Fund-loss hacks deduct 3 security points; incidents where no customer funds were lost (data/email leaks, company-treasury losses) deduct only 0.5, half after 24 months and zero after 48. Criminal guilty pleas (−2) and major civil settlements (−1) in the last 5 years reduce the security score.
