An awareness for every crypto enthusiasts

[Myleschetty]

I think every cryptocurrency enthusiast is aware that we are currently in a era where

1. It's crucial to prioritize our privacy/security.
2. Artificial intelligence is utilized to identify weaknesses in projects, websites, applications, and more. This made me consider why we shouldn't also leverage it for our benefit?

My recommendation to fellow crypto enthusiasts, based on my research, is that when discussing privacy and security, many in the crypto community primarily concentrate on the aspects of cryptocurrency transactions and the information shared in online community. Some may not realize that the email addresses used for registration on various sites and the sites we visit are equally vital regarding our privacy/security.

It's contradictory to claim awareness of privacy and security while sharing your email address and using services like Gmail, which do not prioritize your privacy; it's unreasonable to assume you won't experience physical attack or social engineering when use Gmail which expose your home address, passwords, traveled destination, usernames, and other various information. Numerous sites also sell or leak your data, and believe me, platforms like GitHub, LinkedIn, and AliExpress (with some casino) are among them, though they primarily expose your username or profile link.

Therefore, I'm sharing this for crypto enthusiasts whose personal information is at risk but may not realize it, as well as those wanting to check if their data has been compromised so they can take early action, I'm sharing the websites that utilizes AI for these checks.

If you are truly concerning about privacy and security of your data, stop using Google products like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Authenticator because Google is a big tech company that has shady activities of collecting users data for their hidden purposes.

Like they have a setting that allows AI to read your email.

Google Authenticator allows backup in cloud storage, that's unbelievable.

Use others like Aegis Authenticator (open source), Proton email.

You also have to use different emails for different purposes, from work to personal use, so that you won't lose all sensitive information if one email is compromised.

Some may not realize that the email addresses used for registration on various sites and the sites we visit are equally vital regarding our privacy/security.

If it is only email, I do not bother about it, but I will be bothered if other data like national ID details are leaked. I use emails that do not contain my name and I am careful of phishing attacks.

Numerous sites also sell or leak your data, and believe me, platforms like GitHub, LinkedIn, and AliExpress (with some casino) are among them, though they primarily expose your username or profile link.

I am very sure the sites that people can buy things like AliExpress can be selling people's data. You can make use of such site and scammers will be sending your messages.
