@reverseics Just do it like #Google #ProjectZero and tell them straight up in their face:

I was nice once, now I won't! IDGAF what you need to do to fix it. Details will be public in 90 days. Go fuck yourselves!

And basically prepare everything to be ready in precisely to the second 90 days from the moment mail was sent to them.

This is nothing new what @doingfedtime shows here.

Obviously they need to fix that and work towards better security, including to enshure #Tor #Browser doesn't reset it's #SecuritySettings on reboot, because if people made the concious decision to block all #JavaScript then they that should be at least respected!

In jedem Falle sollte mensch niemals und unter keinen Umständen irgendwem seine [echten] Personalien Mitteilen oder gar nen Perso-Foto bzw. Selfie schicken!

  • Es gibt sehr, sehr wenige die wirklich sowas verlangen dürfen [bspw. #Autovermietung] oder gar müssen [siehe #Banken] aber die werden i.d.R. einen persönlich hereinbestellen [bspw.: Autovermietung machts bei Schlüsselübergabe] oder seriöse Lösungen [bspw.: #POSTIDENT] nutzen. Auf jeden Fall wird kein Händler³ im Internet sowas verlangen!

Alles andere führt nur zu #Identitätsdiebstahl und #Identitätsmissbrauch wo entsprechende Opfer dann z.T. als Beschuldigte*r in tausenden Fällen dann gearscht ist...

³[Selbst nicht beim legalen Waffenkauf! Da wird stattdessen ne Kopie der WBK samt Nummer verlangt weil der Kauf wird quasi in Echtzeit gemeldet und ohne passenden Voreintrag im System ist auch kein Erwerb möglich!...]

What blows my mind: the owner *already* split their hoard into neat 10k #BTC wallets back in 2011—years before “address hygiene” or dust-attack talk. That forward-thinking #OPSEC means today’s chain-analysis can’t easily link the full ~80K BTC cache.

@scotty86 @panigrc @finalstaticfox @dansup Obviously, but then you have the problem of either needing to constantly having to maintain and setup new wallets and/or leaving trails for every dipshit who can use a blockchain explorer.

There are exchanges that support fiat <=> #XMR tho.

Obviously that's another evidence of why #KYC IS THE ILLICIT ACTIVITY!...

  • That problem doesn't exist with #Monero as one cannot determine #transactions, #balances or link wallets by observing the #blockchain. Unlike with all those Shitcoins like #Bitcoin or #Ethereum!

  • So even if I had a Monero Wallet and even if you knew the wallet address, you cannot see what's on it or what transactions go in and out.

  • It's even more secure than #SEPA because thanks to #SWIFT & #FATCA the #IRS and #TreasuryDept. have bulk access to these systems and can basically see account balances in real time (when it comes to #US citizens! The rest they can approximate with bulk access to payment providers and intelligence).

So yeah, blame lack of #privacy, #secrecy, and #custody as well as #doxxing in the form of KYC under the false pretense of #AML for the rampant rise of #kidnappings and armed robberies of #shitcoin HODL'ers.

  • Obviously I do condemn such acts of violence as a matter of principle.

The fact that there are automated, idiot-proof tools like #chainalysis that enable statistical tracking and linking of transactions for everything except Monero is the problem.

  • Don't believe that such "AML compliance" tools are unique to the clients of said providers, because it's just connecting dots from public records. No warrant nor insiders nor MLAT needed.

IOW: OFC I'd have to expect getting robbed by organized crime if I were to post evidence of me sleeping on genuine gold bars.

@BrodieOnLinux @torproject @guardianproject

At this point I'd like to ask when @EUCommission and other #regulators start #banning #StasiBook and other #GAFAM|s for their blatant actions as #OrganizedCrime to violate #privacy standards in the #EU and elsewhere?

infosec.space/@kkarhan/1147336

Cuz at this point the €32B fines at maximum are a joke.

Simply because this isn't a mere violation of #GDPR, #BDSG and other standards, but literal #malware that has been deployed against users in the wild...

  • Anything but actual prison sentences & arrest warrants against the persons responsible would be undue leniency.

@delta also #deltaChat natively supports #Proxies, #VPN|s and @torproject / #Tor so not only can people use it that way but also use any other bypass method.

  • Obviously, the classic #Sneakernet with people doing uucp with foreign mobile networks near borders works just as well...

I'd not be surprised if delta Chat is also used by #RimjinGang* and #38North** for a "contactless sneakernet" tho I am convinced they won't confirm or deny that for #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ComSec reasons alone...

  • I mean, both #Iran and #NorthKorea ain't #Iraq and #Syria where one could just take a phat satellite dish, strap an LTE stick or even external antennas on and just point it at turkish or lebanese radio towers near the border, as owning any satellite equipment in these places is a guarantee to get publicly executed for "espionage"...

  • It's impossible to get #GDPR compliance with #GAFAMs' products!

  • It's impossible to get #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec on a compliant level when a literal #Govware (#Windows) is being used.

  • I cannot work as #Linux Sysadmin unter WinShit just like a cardiologist can't perform a heart transplant just cutlery from a prison mess hall and NSAIDs and just like a nurse can't CPR a toddler with a pneumatic jackhammer!
