Be careful who you share your information with..Please stay anonymous!

[huhhuh18]

Hey guys! I think this is something we all should take a good lesson from. We should be really careful with the type of people we give our information to. Someone (well, a crypto guru) got attacked by robbers and the person wss forced to make unwanted transactions. Stay anonymous, don't let anyone know that you own any crypto coin.

Thank you for this its a lesson one needs yo learn and adapt an intelligent approach to it. Making boost on social medoanon your btc value is really exposing one also leaving some information on your devices that people can view is also not good.

Thanks for the information about pain in sharing identity.This would help a long way by saving our life and our our family member as well. If robbers know more about your riches, they would definitely come against you one day. We should always hide our identity to keep us save from attack.

I have always been scared about it, this is why I always use proxies and Tor to log in to sites and never give my details, even to exchanges. I have never given my real name to any exchange, not because I want to avoid taxes, but simply because I have no idea who is dealing with my information, and what is going to be done with it once they close, because they always end up closing, sometimes out of nowhere you wake up and the exchange disappears. They usually claim "hack" or something else, but im sure a lot of the time it's just inside jobs, the owners end up being scammers, and god knows what they will do with your information. I would be worried if ever did the stupid thing of taking a selfie holding your ID in order to register to any of these exchanges.

I hate how I lost some of my trading history on exchanges because they closed and I wasn't able to save it, this may lead to some problems in the future when trying to buy real estate with Bitcoin, but I hope they understand. It's just too much of a risk to give details to exchange owners, or to anyone in this crypto wild wild west. Stay safe indeed.

There are so many bad guys,  don't trust anybody make sure that no one knows that your holding  BTC, they said that money is the root of evil, and don't give true identity to the you've dealing, be extra careful.

This should be a lesson to us to always put on low profile. With so many bad guys out there that wants money without working hard for it we should always be careful on who to trust and to whom we share our information. Having large amount of money can be risky and can cost you your life especially with those guys lurking out there waiting to get the chance to take advantage of you. That is why its best to keep every transactions anonymous and never let others know exactly how much money/cryptocurrency you're holding! Transactions with crypto is done anonymously it is up to you how you're going to keep it that way. Better be safe than sorry.

Sound really scary but with all this kyc policy many exchanges and even wallets have its hard to remain anonymous when dealing with crypto coins. The law against AML had made it hard to protect our personal financial privacy any staff on those exchanges can easily sell our details in darkweb and than you will get robbers like those in article in your door.

We need decentralized exchange which is strong and secure enough to process high trading volume.

Thanks for this one but this is not the first that has already happened, and i remember the bitcoin millionaire was getting robbed and he has been forced to create unwanted transaction too.
This why we must never try to participate in any airdrop that requires KYC.

[vallydelly]

This is so bad, so arm robbers are now attaching the cryptos traders? I hope the bandits will get catch and final go to jail for this holistic act, it's a lesson to everyone out there, stop showing off your asset in public

[seyola89]

Yes this is true. One must be very careful about who you share your information with including cryptos Info. Cryptos traders and investors should be very secretive about their valuable info coz you don't know who's planning to hurt you. Stay safe

[mmacool]

Thank you for the information provided. I always knew I needed to be an anonymous user. Now it's easy with the help of browsers and VPN. And also when you do not pass KYC it is not safe for you.

[Ereun]

A tragic event and indeed no one should know what we do in the business of crypto. Thanks for the information, this can be a lesson for all of us.

[huhhuh18]

Thank you. That was a great insight. There are some airdrops that are virtually worth nothing yet they require certain key info from us. That is very dangerous. We really need to be careful where and who we share our identity with. The cryptospace is still young and developing and not yet fully regulated so we always need to stay cautious.

I am afraid that this type of assaults will be increasingly common in the coming years. It's quite clear that giving your personal data on the internet is very risky but I think the biggest risk is outside the internet, in the real world, on the street. That's why I think it's not advisable to let anyone know that you have cryptos, even if the amount you have is ridiculous, because you never know who that information can reach to.

[2@abcdeeply]

Sometimes in the electronic money market you should not live up to everyone, maybe that's the trick, and you could be hacking your account if you do not have the knowledge and do not prevent them.

Yes I'm also scared on this type of issues, I have a friend that work  on crypto and I would say that she is a successfully person in the world of crypto and there are some people think bad about her.

[whofeelsitknowsit]

Totally agree with this.  It's also a good idea not to boast about your holdings on social media because you could easily become a target for scammers, hackers, etc.

[Ianbadz2000]

That was so scary but thank you for your helpfull share i will be aware in this kind of matter too.,i will never trust to any person who i didnt know.,i will be keep my accounts for myself only and not to be carried by any attackers or scammers.,

[Yudhisthir]

Crypto has made new millionaires and they are an easy target for the muggers. Try not to display your true identity especially while dealing with people who says to be around your locality. Do every trade as anonymous, if really need to meet up, be safe and inform others about the meeting beforehand.

[Kuzja]

And how about the procedure for the KYC?
There we completely have to lay out our data to someone ...
