    For example -

    Match personal info by email address (if you are not using totally different emails for variety of unrelated to tulipcoins Net services).

    Follow IP address (chain - if you are into VPNs/proxies).

    Or just get personal info from “exchanges” that will be forced to follow KYC.

    There are certainly other ways - it’s the area ripe for criminals to jump in - once they know you they might not even need brute force tactics, instead they’ll get password to your wallet (and other passwords) from a van parked across the street whilst enjoying their late night Starbucks.

    Welcome to the party pal, hope you’ll enjoy it as much as they will spending proceeds of your dirty spekulations.

      How do you get info like email addresses, IP addresses or get exchanges to tell you their customer's KYC details from an ETH address?

        Thought BTC was going to pop $50k and trigger a big boom, but it seems to have stalled. 4th quarter is when all the fun happens...

          Hackers that currently hack those “exchanges” to get tulipcoins will also swipe all that juicy database info and then sell it on the dark web to the highest bidder.

          Specific target blackmail will be a big thing - for all those who “forgot” to pay their taxes

            You run a massive server farm designed to make money by aggregating everyone;'s personal data. At least, that's what AtW did.

              So the only way they can get personal info from an anonymous crypto address is by hacking exchanges then. Glad we cleared that one up.

                And that, as we know, never ever happens.

                  Even banks get hacked, virtually all online retailers are at some point.

                    ""Leaked Guntrader firearms data file shared. Worst case scenario? Criminals plot UK gun owners' home addresses in Google Earth"

                    The names and home addresses of 111,000 British firearm owners have been dumped online as a Google Earth-compatible CSV file that pinpoints domestic homes as likely firearm storage locations – a worst-case scenario for victims of the breach.

                    As an exercise in amplifying a data theft to levels that endanger public safety, the latest evolution of the Guntrader database break-in is likely to become an infosec case study in how security breaches can become worse over time as stolen information is put to ever more intrusive uses."

                    https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/...ch_csv_danger/

                    Same thing will happen with those "wallets", it will certainly be very interesting to public to see where big "whales" reside and how much dosh they have.

                    I can't remember any serious bank in the UK being hacked and customer list with addresses and their balances leaked.

                      There are lots of whales who could be doxxed through their social media but the majority who don't want to be known don't shout about how much they're making all over the Internet.
