Bounty + KYC, your opinion about the risk of identity theft?

[miningnew]

I’ve just let this post in the Bounty thread of the REMCO campaign
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4989188.msg45033426#msg45033426

Guys, I can understand the Bountys asking for a KYC now, why not after all...

But your spreadsheet is PUBLIC!
 
It is an extraordinary database for hackers with real identity associations and full of information
 
For bounty hunter security, pass this table in private access!

It’s me or it’s really scary ??

It is scary I agree. If nothing else, at least they are letting you know in advance, so you can move on. I would never participate if KYC is needed, and certainly not if they are going to make the data public. With most of these ICOs, even if the KYC data are not public, who is to say they won't sell your data on the black market? So no thank you.

In a few hours, already several dozen people who did not hesitate to post their identity "in clear" on the web...

And we are in the field of cryptography normally!!

[AzrailBogov]

In this situation, we again need to think and analyze which team we are giving our data to. If this is a reliable team that is building a serious product, then I do not mind checking out KYC

[miningnew]

It’s not really a team problem, maybe the project is strong and legit and the team reliable.
But actually, because their participation in bounty campaign, dozen of members of the forum posted their personal informations on a PUBLIC spreadsheet, included name, surname, email, Eth address..
And Internet never forget !

[Laxus215]

I just checked their public stake spreadsheet this really horrible why are they displaying full name of participants. For bounty campaign email address, BTT forum user name, social media accounts links and ERC20 wallets are enough but including full name can harm participants future. I am not against bounty campaign which requires KYC but they are displaying full name which really questionable.

[jouns]

I think that everyone who disclosed their personal data will inevitably have problems in the future. Any monitoring authority will be able to request this data, and this will be worse than hackers.

[Schevascheva]

Bounty and kyc for me are a good prospect, since it gives me some sort of guarantee of payment, for stealing documents I'm not worried this canopy is only for 2 persons, ie you and the bounty administration, for which they are responsible, and it is not worth it so bounty with Kyc is the best bounty in my opinion and do not worry about the documents)

[danceinthedunes]

I think bounty managers are taking the risks of identity theft very lightly, it's a real risk that can damage your life forever, when you give your data you don't really know where it will stop and what it will be used for, so you have to ask yourself if it's really worth putting your identity at risk for a few tokens?.

[miningnew]

This is the first time I've seen this...

And you?

I did not get an answer to my remark in the Bounty thread, I will insist a little to know the position of the BM

[rosezionjohn]

I have read a lot of complaints about identity theft from public spreadsheets. There's too much information being displayed. I have also read some accusing some of selling out private information gathered from KYC. It's a risk one has to take for bounty hunters, joining a campaign is a choice after all.

[anjho.ace]

KYC is really scary as there are so many SCAM ICO.
But if the ICO is finish and the team wants to have KYC then its OKAY.
As long as it is a 100% success. that will give assurance for the people that it will not be a scam.

[Yaddady]

Identity theft is made possible and easier now with ICOs and Bounties requiring KYC for participation. Highly debatable is the competence of these guys to handle the mammoth personal documents they receive and safely. Being careless about them exposes the owners and puts them at risk of theft by identity criminals.

[drm]

It's a serious issue.
Don't join these scam bounty + kyc projects, they will stop asking for it when they see people don't have any interest in them.

It's really terrible. That's exposing too much information on a public document. Like you've mentioned, public sheets should not have any personal identity details like real names, etc. This is one of the reasons a lot of people in the space are vehemently against the introduction of KYC by ICOs.

[Mihaylovic]

it is really very high. i have alreadyy witnessed so many news about it. there are so many thiefs that steals kyc documentations of the icos and sell those id details to other people. we should be very careful when sharing our private documents.

[Tankdestroyer]

It’s me or it’s really scary ??

It is really scary because the risk of identity theft is so high. Even if their ICO has succeeded, you still do not have a guarantee that they will list on good exchanges and get good price thus increasing the risk of the team selling that information out. Also, if they(or their google spreadsheet used in filling up KYC) got hacked then that personal information will also be compromised.

[Sophiya]

Disclosure of their personal data for general access, of course, carries some risk. All these problems of KYC with the legislation need to be reconciled so that there are security guarantees.

[miningnew]

Again, KYC is not a problem in itself.

(And this will probably be the rule for 90% of projects in a short time)

On the other hand, ICOs (and Bounty managers) MUST take the confidentiality of the data they receive seriously.

[vandeam]

Yes, it is not safe but if I earn more money with the help of this then I ready to send my documents for KYC.
