What's interesting about that and why would HN care if people are sharing private details of their life willingly?

- aaron-lebo 9y agoIt's that people should be a lot safer and aware. I've seen a guy brag about his cryptocurrency stash, and if you went through his post history he'd also talked about where he lived and his profession. If he leaked any other details (through HN or crossreferencing other sites), he might be a really vulnerable target and not even realize it.
- contingencies 9y agoThere are easier targets...
- EGreg 9y agoI bet you that someone could write a program to deanonymize most people posting on the internet, and then cross correlate with claims about high roller stuff.
- gtirloni 9y agoAh ok. I thought there was something special about cryptocurrency but I understand, it the usual bragging and attracting criminals. Thanks.
