A ton of people use GMail for their crypto accounts.
Claiming that someone at Google stole the funds is quite an extraordinary claim. You should have more proof than just the seed being sent to their spellchecker.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoI'm not sure what the volume of gmail accounts is supposed to demonstrate. But gmail is known to be high value, and so it stands to reason that internal safeguards around access to gmail accounts would be much greater than data from a spellcheck API or search autocomplete. It certainly is an extraordinary claim, but there does come a point where the totality of evidence points to the likelihood of it. I'm not saying we're at that point, but in my mind we've reached the point of reasonably possible.
- eridius 8y agoSpellcheck API or autocomplete is also expected to end up with a ton of sensitive information sent to it. I would expect them to either not keep logs of the actual query strings to begin with, or heavily restrict access to them.
