Dutch (state funded) media had an article last week: Consumers don't care much about the massive number of data leaks. They managed to find a "consumer psychologist" who says people don't really care anymore. To me, this sounds like conditioning people to stop caring about the many privacy violations we have. At least once a year some company leaks my data, and I'm not even talking about the billions of people who take pictures in public and then publish them on social media.
We have quite good privacy laws, but if there's a data leak, there are no real consequences for the company (or government) involved. Meanwhile, they're required to collect more and more data on everything. Even some budget webhosts are now asking for KYC information, and most people just do it.

Abso-fucking-lutely!

Everybody already knew that governments don't really care about us, but it is quite astounding to discover the level of maliciousness these people have to their own constituents.

Crypto is the main way we can fight this which is the main reason they are trying to regulate it hard.

ETZ-Swap warning

One of our users was conducting a swap using ETZ-Swap yesterday and his swap is now stuck. ETA to resolve is 5 days. Contrary to initial reports no KYC has been demanded. As a standard precaution ETZ-Swap has been delisted from OrangeFren.com

On the website, you still do not have any information about whether a service has been removed from monitoring and why. It is simply not visible without explanation.
I think there was already a discussion about that option earlier, and I really think it would be useful to have something like a log or something.
It is noticeable that the list of active monitoring services changes over time, but that is all we know.

⚠️ ShopinBit's invoicing provider exploited

Really bad news for ShopinBit and all their customers. 
I hope they implemented some privacy method for safely deleting old information, but I doubt that.
This is becoming almost a daily thing, hacks, exploits, leaks... and I think AI tools play a big role in that.

I spoke with a friend who is affected and we're wondering if somebody has already got consequences from this hack? It is a terrible news for the people who have bought a car by ShopinBit, because this must be done with the real ID. But in principle all customers can be exposed as Bitcoin or Monero holder. The data was stolen by a hacker with the name Fingerprint. The online invoicing system was obligatory from April 2026, but ShopinBit has implemented it voluntarily already in October 2025 (if Lando is telling now the truth in his email). And still they have lied to everybody that they are keeping the invoices offline after the first 30 days to prevent data leaks, now we see how it really was
