Yesterday, news emerged that Celsius filed a 14500 page document containing names of clients and their deposit and withdraw addresses. This means that if you ever put any coins on Celsius, you have been doxxed. Here's an example of what they looked like: While wallet addresses are not directly shown, one only needs a blockchain explorer to find out which addresses paid or received a certain amount of tokens to/from Celsius any given day. Thus, your wallets can be linked to your name. The file has been deleted, but later published again by Gizmodo to the internet archive, to then be deleted again by the internet archive team ( Should I worry? While this is a clear attack to the clients privacy, this shouldn't be a danger to most people. It becomes dangerous when/if you're a political activist prosecuted in your country, a tax evader or a criminal. Otherwise, you shoudn't worry too much, but you still must take actions to preserve your privacy. Not doing so can leave you vulnerable to "social engineering" attacks and scams. Here's my proposal:
This will not make your tokens completely untraceable, but it will keep you hidden from prying eyes (aka people using the blockchain explorer to doxx you). The only way someone could know your identity then is with the Centralized exchanges cooperation. -----------------------------------------What this document also revealed----------------------------------------------------- Another information that this documents revealed, is that Mashinsky and his wife withdrew 12M$ in tokens just a few days before blocking withdrawals for users. Mashinsky was interviewed before and after the day they withdrew, and said they didn't withdrew at all on both occasions. The interviews can be seen in this Cofeezilla video. -------------------------------I want to know if I've been doxxed. What can I do?----------------------------------------
