I really recommending reading this. In summary, a company which does ID verification for in-person interactions (hotels, car rentals, ID verification for alcohol or marijuana, etc) has some how exposed over 153,000,000 drivers licenses for people in the United States and Canada. It is a catastrophic data breach, probably one of the worse I've ever seen. If you're in the United States and have traveled, gotten a hotel, purchased marijuana or alcohol, there is a high probability you're in this. Unlike other breaches, this includes a photo of the person (from the license), making verification you've identified the person significantly easier. This poses a significant threat to celebrities (think YouTubers, adult entertainers & other polarizing influencers) 😬 🧡👊🏻🍻

If you’re an outspoken bitcoin and your name is identifiable, you need to think about the fact that your address may have been doxxed.

If you talk about bitcoin on here or X etc, and your real name is identifiable, you need to think about the fact that your physical address may have been doxxed. This is a big deal. —Not just identity theft. View quoted note →

If you didn't buy your home under a trust/llc/biz entity your address is likely already public information easily searchable on a tax collecting entities website. Your only hope is to have a common ass name.

KYC has never been about security. It was always meant yo be to prolong the fiat system a little while longer.

Just do not sign up for services that demand ID. If enough people do it, it'll crash the system for the better.
