Just report to coinbase, they will block those IP address.You  need to use 2 FA for your account.I am also a coinbase user.Using coinbase about 1 years ago, I am using mobile number verification system and mail verification system for log in into my account.so my account is 100% safe from hacker.you can use those method fro preventing future hacking issue.
It was an issue from my very beginning faucet times. Coinbase security worked great and corrected my mistakes. But I closed my account because I was not able to report those ips. The email that was given in notificatuon mail produced an automated answer, that support through this way is deactivated and I followed the link to the new support system.  There I wanted to open a support ticket but was everytime leaded to faq. So I decided to close my account forever. Now I am good with a wallet where I keep my own private keys.

I wanted to report them that, but they shut down the support on their email, they provided me at their notification mail. So I followed their link to new support system with many faq, but couldn't open a ticket. So I closed my account.

This is happening to me that is why when i am registering to other website i am using other email instead and i always use the google authentication just to increase the security of my account.. just reported them to coinbase so that they can take some action and block the ip who are trying to access your account..
This is happen like the above said if you use the same email to faucet or any source of bitcoin there is possibility that they can use the collected email and password to try logging in the account their collected..
So you need to protect your account and don't use the same password in other website just to be safe of your coins. and don't forget to always use 2fa.

In situations like this, the problem comes from people registering their email at whatever site/faucet/service that got its database compromised ~ result is that they will attempt to log in with your email address being known now.

Best thing to do is to use a clean email address for something so important as a wallet/exchange service. On top of that you should have 2FA at all times enabled ~ this will ensure your account is as safe as possible.
Ah that could be. You are right. Didn't think about the faucets because I am long away from that.

I recieved warnings that someone wanted to access my coinbase account via iOS. I looked at my account and saw that tries of api access from several countries were reported. Did someone have the same issues?
