![X Highlights Back-To-School Marketing Opportunities [Infographic]](https://imgproxy.divecdn.com/dM1TxaOzbLu_kb9YjLpd7P_E_B_FkFsuKp2uSGPS5i8/g:ce/rs:fit:770:435/Z3M6Ly9kaXZlc2l0ZS1zdG9yYWdlL2RpdmVpbWFnZS94X2JhY2tfdG9fc2Nob29sMi5wbmc=.webp)
Friendly word of caution
Just a reminder to everyone here; be super cautious where you input, store or post info about what you have. As an example: In september of 2020 Ledger (the hardware wallet company) suffered a significant data breach, leaking out customers' names, mail addresses and even home addresses. Now, imagine you use an external tool to track your portfolio, say Coinmarketcap. When Coinmarketcap suffers a breach and your account is tied to the same mail address or fullname as the Ledger breach, hackers will know how much you have and where you probably store it. This makes it real easy to find the right victim for a 5$ wrench attack (AKA home invasion). Above is just an example. The same goes for posting how much you have on reddit, you forget about it, post a link to your Hello Kitty account where they'll find your mail address or your full name which can then be tied directly to your home address. It's plausible that soon, AI-driven tools / agents could effortlessly gather and cross-reference personal data making it even easier for attackers to identify vulnerable targets. Tip: Download your reddit data (posts / comments etc) and sift through it to check for direct / indirect links to your identity. submitted by /u/goodorca [link] [comments]
