Seed phrases don't leak. Mouths do.

The biggest vulnerability in Bitcoin isn't code. It's human vanity  !

Humans are the weakest link in security, and human behaviors contributes largely to wallet exploitation other theft, just like in every hack's there is often a backend support Which means insiders support.


Regardless of how robust cryptography security is, human flaws contribute highly to it exploit rather than technical failure like bugs.

It has always been discussed before that when someone is attacked either by hackers or maybe robbers for his bitcoin then such person has definitely left a trace and this trace can be either through hot wallets for hackers, or has flaunted his investment in the social media and got exposed then or simply must have used his mouth to announce his bitcoin.

If you read about the whole reports of bitcoinier been physically attacked to submit their wallet seed or private key by robbers then be sure that two things have happened. One is that his information might be leaked by some people like the situation France when people declare their assets or the owner himself invite the robbers through his mouth

In today’s world where people want to share everything about their lives with the world, we have thrown caution to the wind and all sense of privacy. Even the alarming news of wrench attacks in Europe doesn’t seem to deter people from oversharing on the internet. Bitcoin holders need to be discreet about their investment, do not post your wallet balance/portfolio on social media, and do not link public wallets to your storage wallets.

Insider information always play a role in exploitative processes that tarnishes the reputation of an entity. This is one of the major challenges of security where the gap need's to be filled. Every exploitation has a support from the within that feeds them with information.

Human flaws which I can recall can contribute to attacks and lots more. It would be either failure to update app or clicking on links you knows

[Ziskinberg]

Indeed its the human mouth that is considered the weakest link and the biggest threat to secure our funds. Its the human errors that mostly endanger the security of our funds, of our bitcoin wallet.

Therefore, in order to mitigate this threat, we have to never speak of it, and just treat our seed phrase like an absolute secret. And if possible, going completely offline will save us from future losses and regrets.

If nobody knows you own Bitcoin, you have a 0% chance of being targeted simple as it may sound !

Have a good Sunday all.

It's your wallet seed phrase, it's your private keys, and it's your coins. If you lose your wallet seed phrase, you lose access to that wallet, lose private keys, and lose your coins too.

Steel plates or paper pieces or whatever, they're only means of storing your wallet seed phrases that have to be stored secretly, privately and securely enough.

So, you've revealed your little secret.

but then we flex our mining setups or stack size over a beer.

Why bother putting in the effort (and achieving results) if you're not going to brag about it over a beer?

Well, the human factor has always been the most vulnerable to hacking. But your point is clear: by eliminating this most vulnerable vulnerability (excessive talkativeness), you can "enhance" the "protection" system for storing your crypto assets.

In fact, a secure storage system for crypto assets includes a range of measures, from the most reliable physical storage method (a metal plate, as fireproof, not particularly strong and resistant to various external influences) to information security (the ability to keep information about your assets from being shared with third parties). The best results from secure storage will only be achieved if all these measures are followed.

There are many crypto theft incident where the perpetrator is social engineering people into leaking their seed phrase, from acting as a technical support to persuading them.
Beside flexing, people need to be educated about how to avoid social engineering and to never trust anyone over the phone. This reminds me the case of Malone Lam who stole $263m worth of crypto through social engineering.

Yup, that is right but many people gives their big mouth to others and show off they have. That could be coincidentally happens but too risky which reminds of the things that can happens to us.

Human errors will be the common mistake that will makes someone in risks for the vulnerability.

[X-ray]

Folks should learn that keeping their bitcoin secret is as important as keeping their cash secret.

I never see anyone flexing their cash in their home because they know that will bring unneeded attention to them.

Same thing with bitcoin but for some reason some of these people want everybody to know that they are holding bitcoin which is baffling.
