Define "recovered."
Once data has been leaked, it can't be recovered. It's out there for scammers to pass around to one another forever.
Have they plugged the hole so no more data will be leaked in the future? Doubtful. This was due to employees who had access to the data being bribed to leak it. How confident can anyone be that there aren't any more Coinbase employees willing to hand over user data for the right price?
Oh, and by the way, the same issue exists at literally every single bank or other financial service that is required by law to obtain your personal and identification information.
The only sense in which Coinbase might recover from this is that the public is likely to forget it happened as they get distracted by other events in the news.
