So while using Swan in a self-custodials manner, I still wound up with my information out there due to KYC. You see Swan used shitcoins business Prime Trust for custody services, Prime goes bankrupt from the Terra crap. As a result, my information is handed over to a law firm, which gets hacked!
I never used the custodial service, so I'm not due anything from the bankruptcy, but my info was handed over and now this. nHere is the notice I just received.
Stretto recently experienced a security incident regarding data held in connection with In re: Prime Core Technologies Inc., et al., No. 23-11161, currently pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. We are writing to advise you of a data security incident at Stretto that involved some of your personal information. We want to make you aware of the incident, steps you can take to protect your information, and services we are making available.
What Happened? On April 17, 2024, Stretto information technology staff were alerted to suspicious activity occurring in one employee account. Stretto immediately initiated an internal investigation, which preliminarily determined that the account had been subject to unauthorized access. In response to this discovery, Stretto disabled all access by this account to Stretto systems and changed the password to the account.
Stretto engaged external cybersecurity professionals to conduct a thorough and detailed investigation of the Incident. A critical focus of the investigation was to identify the extent to which information held by Stretto in connection with the Prime Core Bankruptcy Matter may have been impacted. Stretto’s cybersecurity professionals completed their investigation on May 6, 2024. Immediately thereafter, Stretto conducted an exhaustive review of the documents which may have been affected by the incident. This review determined that information related to creditors in the Prime Core Bankruptcy Matter may have been impacted.
What Information was involved? We are notifying you as we have confirmed that your data was accessed by an unauthorized party. This data included may have included your name, mailing address, e-mail address, fax number, phone number, claim amount, schedule amount and/or voting amount. In some cases, the data related to Claim submissions may have contained amounts and other information provided by the creditor. Stretto’s investigation did not find evidence that your Social Security number, Taxpayer Identification number, or financial account information were impacted.
Please remain vigilant of potential security risks, such as phishing attempts. If you receive an email that appears to be from Prime Core or Stretto, please verify the sender before you reply or click any links. If you have any questions relating to this security incident, please email PrimeCoreInquiries@stretto.com.

Does it seem like Swan always gets a pass, even after the Prime Trust debacle?
reply
Never again from me.
reply
Indeed.

Agree--these incidents will always happen so long as the data is available to be collected. Doesn't matter who is housing the data (including the government) - sooner or later data will be breached.
Privacy is important, and incidents like this continue to reinforce that (no matter what assurances are given) your online data is not safe.

If you get texts from "people you know" asking you to urgently send Bitcoin or Apple Gift cards because <insert reason> involving other "people you know". Don't. They are phishing you. There are many versions of this. It's getting bad out there.
With large data breaches scammers can organize all the B2B email domains and reassemble your contact list and automate fairly compelling scams.

Good into. This is exactly how they do it. They share info on the dark web, which gets compiled and used in social engine attempts later.

With the pace how often exchanges are closing, eventually all sats will be no kyc. The main rule - never HODL your sats on any exchanges for a long period of time
reply
that wasn't enough in this case. I never left my Sats any longer than they make you.

Win-win strategy

Its all about passing the buck to someone else. No one takes responsibility anymore.

It's bad to happen with a law firm! WTH!

Stretto got hacked means nothing's saved now. So far, I had never listened that Stretto was compromised. I had 10 or 20 bucks in Celsius and I used to get many emails from them suggesting how to save my information.
reply
Yeah, I’m not a fan of being unsure how this will affect me.

What j can assume is that it's a case of corruption. Somebody is playing a role of Godfather for someone. With the help of Godfather prime Escapes.

Government is mind control. Government law is good for the government actors and "criminals," who are the same people who choose not to over any laws other than physics and thermodynamics.

Pulling out the data lost section for sharing. That last sentence does not give me confidence!

Not much from what I can tell. Makes me laugh when I read 'cybersecurity professionals' Like, we all can do a little better than them just not entrusting our private information with dooshbag kyc firms.

The premium paid for Non-KYC is worth it!!!
