I am always worried that someone will create a product that ends up going viral here that is malicious and collects peoples Nostr identity in plain text, this is why I've posted several notes warning people (especially new people) to always use a reputable signer and not to put their nsecs into websites.

Private key harvesting apps, which turn accounts into automated spam bots. Something like that could be a real risk if it became popular. Assuming the individual(s) behind the app(s) are thinking long term, a handful of their apps get semi popular and harvest a few thousand private keys each over a matter of months or years. Then one day, our entire feeds are full of advertising or gore or something and a large number of people have to restart building their accounts. That's the biggest risk i think.
