First, they unleashed a service that can unveil the identities of anonymous users within the crypto space. It seems they forgot about the importance of privacy and anonymity that most crypto enthusiasts hold dear. But wait, there&#8217;s more! As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, it was discovered that the company had used an incredibly simple method for hiding customers&#8217; email addresses. It&#8217;s like they were playing a game of &#8220;hide and seek&#8221; and accidentally left a trail of breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The Hot Take:<\/h2>\n<p>This is a classic case of a company that managed to shoot itself in both feet. It&#8217;s no wonder the crypto community is up in arms about these revelations. Unmasking anonymous users and leaving email addresses vulnerable is a recipe for disaster. Maybe next time this company should think twice before making decisions that make the crypto world frown upon them. Privacy and security should be top priorities, not afterthoughts in the realm of cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<\/br> Original article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2023\/07\/10\/crypto-startup-arkham-has-apparently-been-doxxing-privacy-obsessed-users-for-months\/?utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_source=rss&#038;utm_campaign=headlines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read here<\/a>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":128,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions\/128"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ownbitcoins.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
