Although WalletOfSatoshi denied these claims, do we need to worry about similar leakings of Alby and other wallets where we use/give our emails for backups ? What are our options?
FWIW... expect central points of data collection to fail, sell out out etc.
Alby has twice not worked properly and Sats went missing before I had to contact them to sort it out.
Phoenix is the best of the trust minimized wallets. 💯
Yeah but with phoenix you have to open a channel yourself with the wallet you want to send to every time i believe and pay a fee to do so (obviously). Lnbits is a safe alternative as well..
I put out a note on nostr asking about it but not a single other person has vouched for it.
view on snort.socialIt came from this note, sounds like either FUD or they have some other leak with some other third party. #253643
Agreed. FUD or leaked from another platform. No one else has reported similar issues.
Ouch, wouldn't be the first data leak, ledger also had a major one and won't be the last, I just hope people don't fall for any scams that result from having an email leaked with a service like this, WOS has a collection of clients with sats and could easily be convinced to part with them, this goes for any custodial wallet or exchange wallet that has LN
I know custodial wallets a trade-off most people make to get into LN rails, but I don't think enough people using these distrust the services enough not to fall for a cleverly branded scam email
