 Rumor : Wallet of Satoshi Email Database Leaked…

Is this true @Wallet of Satoshi?

Drives a wider point. Any connection to non KYC should be burn safe. 

Meaning, go scorched earth if anything is compromised. 
 👀 
 Sounds like fear porn to me 
 Whoa. Hopefully we get confirmation if it is or isn't true. 
 Hahaha, I never gave them my email address and never will! 
 I can’t remember if I’ve ever given them my email? When would I have done this? 
 If you backed up your account. 
 Thanks! I didn’t do that, few. 
 Have my email address. They can’t have my sats. 
 This is why we can’t have nice things… 
 Oh no no 
 Where did you hear this? 
 We have thoroughly investigated the claim and can confirm that our email database has not been compromised.

For those who are concerned, we recommend checking your email addresses on 'Have I Been Pwned'—if you trust that platform.

As Bitcoiners, our system is intentionally designed to collect minimal personal information. Providing an email is optional and is primarily used for account backup or to obtain a custom lightning address.

We always prioritize the security and privacy of our users and continuously monitor our systems to guard against any potential threats. 
 Have I Been Pwnd is pretty legit, imho. 
 Do your employees have direct access to user email addresses, and can the address be anonymized whenever a user interacts with someone on the support team?

Can a user change their address without losing their existing account and custom Lightning address, and are old addresses purged from your records? 
 When nostr backups? 
 This was an unsubstantiated claim on stackernews so I wanted to give you the microphone. 

Thanks for the reply. 
 Thank you for not requiring an email to use your service. It’s refreshing af 
 thanks. for those worried, you can use skiff.com to register email with no kyc 
 Skiff is ran on google cloud isn't it? I thought it's dependent on firebase. 
 you can make an email that dont need your verification i mean 
 Thanks 😊 
 And that’s the problem with closed source custodial solutions. We have nothing more than your word and we have to trust it.

That’s the problem with your service and that’s why I see it critical that so many Bitcoiners onboard people with your solution 😩 
 That's not quite fair. The hacking allegations need proof,  otherwise it's just a DOS attack.

 It was fake news.
