JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls to end mass KYC data collection, warning it puts crypto holders at risk of phishing and physical attacks. Pierce says the current KYC/AML system creates massive databases of sensitive information that can be hacked, leaked, or exploited. She's pushing for zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) that could verify users meet regulatory requirements without exposing their personal information.

THEY DID WHAT?!
‼️ BREAKING: Revolut handed over customers’ passport copies, verification selfies and full transaction histories to a malicious actor. The actor sent lawful government information-demand emails using a genuine government domain that passed domain authentication. Revolut later concluded they were not authentic. Affected customers were notified on Friday. What may have been disclosed ranges from name, date of birth and home address to account statements, withdrawal records and complete Bitcoin transaction history. The company says it has alerted the agency to the unauthorised mailbox on its domain, blocked the address and begun notifying regulators. It has not named the agency, explained how someone obtained a mailbox there, or given a number of affected customers. ZachXBT, who circulated the notices, believes the incident was limited in size and aimed at high-net-worth users.

If you use multi-sig You should use different vendors across your signing devices wallets xitter.cf/i/status/2083186689246…

This is one reason why you should not give apps full permission of your device 95% of apps don't need access to your photos Another reason to use hardened mobile OS's like @GrapheneOS
⚠️ALERT: Malware found in the Apple App Store and Google Play was scanning users' photos for crypto wallet seed phrases. Check Point says SparkKitty hid inside apps disguised as crypto tools and messaging platforms across app stores. Once users granted photo access, the malware scanned for recovery phrases and uploaded them to attacker-controlled servers. One infected app on Google Play was downloaded more than 10,000 times before being removed.

🚨⚠️ ZACHXBT DÉCONSEILLE LES HARDWARE WALLETS L’enquêteur on-chain ZachXBT estime que les hardware wallets ne sont plus la meilleure solution pour sécuriser ses cryptomonnaies. Selon lui, il est préférable d’utiliser un iPhone dédié, réservé uniquement à la signature des transactions et au stockage des fonds. Il critique particulièrement Ledger, qu’il considère comme la pire option, reprochant à Ledger Live ses mises à jour fréquentes qui compliqueraient inutilement certaines opérations. 👉 Il s’agit toutefois de l’opinion personnelle de ZachXBT, et non d’un consensus au sein de l’industrie.

How are you getting your public info off the web?
There's been 77 crypto-related kidnappings and extortion cases in this year alone in France. How did the criminals know who to target? Tax info leaked by the government combined with mandatory crypto registrations in public databases. Does KYC really protect?

Data brokers buy your data and map your behavioural patterns You have to understand how they get your data BEFORE you can clean up your digital life
The data broker industry is a web of secret companies, investors, and government clients. I spoke with the activist behind surveillancewatch.io -- a fantastic website that watches the watchers. It's time to reveal who they really are.
