- Tharkun 10y agoI wish people would stop saying thay. It is an issue. Maybe not for you, but for a lot of people. It allows any server you connect to to enumerate all of your public keys and identities. If you use nasty leaky services like Github then at least one of your public keys can be used to identify you. This is bad and stupid. This is why you should tell SSH to use specific keys for specific hosts, and fall back to a nonexistent key for unknown hosts.
