I'm interested in cryptocurrency and I'm considering using Coinbase as my trading platform. However, I'm a bit concerned about its safety, especially in Australia. Could you tell me if Coinbase is safe to use in Australia? I've heard some rumours about hackers attacking crypto exchanges, so I'm quite worried about the security of my funds. Could you also tell me what security measures Coinbase takes to protect its users' information and funds? Thank you for your help!
