What do you put in a bitcoin atm? Cash right? So you could say the only reason to have cash around is if you're committing crimes. Otherwise you can just use you bank card.

behringer··on Coinbase says hackers bribed staff to steal customer data, demanding $20M ransom
In a way you can. A company is its employees. If you want employees with integrity you might need to pay better than bottom dollar employees from the cheapest countries possible.

I once applied for a bank position, and they wanted to run a credit check. If you're in a position of handling money, the company has a responsibility to vet its employees. Do I agree with credit checks? Absolutely not, but the point is, Coinbase is partially responsible and that's why they're refunding duped customers.

How far that responsibility goes is up for debate.
