We can now share those numbers.<br/><br/>Across our old WooCommerce store and our current Shopify store, records containing approximately 5,600 mailing addresses and 5,200 phone numbers, along with names and email addresses, were held in systems the attackers were able to reach. We cannot say for certain whether the attackers accessed all of these records, so we are treating all of them as potentially exposed. These records are a subset of our total customers.<br/><br/>Why the data was still there:<br/>In our last update, we explained that copies of orders remained in old database tables after past migrations. We have since found that the 60-day redaction also did not cover every type of order, and that some customer details were stored in other parts of the store, such as abandoned carts and contact forms, that redaction never reached.<br/><br/>Addresses not in our records:<br/>More than 5,000 of the email addresses that received phishing emails do not appear in our WooCommerce or Shopify customer records. Some match our support and hiring inboxes. Together with reports of details that were never shared with us, this makes us confident the attackers also used data from outside Foundation. We are still tracing where these addresses came from.<br/><br/>What we are doing:<br/>Out of an abundance of caution, we are rotating all keys and secrets across our systems, including those we have no evidence were accessed.We are keeping a single copy of the legacy WooCommerce data offline as evidence for the investigation. Once the investigation is complete, that data will be permanently deleted.<br/><br/>We have found no evidence that this incident compromised Passport devices or the private keys they hold.<br/><br/>Never enter your recovery phrase into a website or share it with anyone, including someone claiming to be Foundation.<br/><br/>We will continue sharing confirmed findings and publish our full report when the investigation is complete. </blockquote> 2026-10-27T17:18:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswdhxlu2lalu9dcl0te2dptj5j07umh07nm3ehfd262uhs6zjz66czyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6a8dwls In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2p2puge79yevp22hk3yx0zz3em6jr6dw0vw7kh3wgmlk6c4gucmsyfrehk'>nevent1q…rehk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Always read Terms and Conditions VERY VERY carefully before sending money to any swap provider!

Consider that for chain surveillance companies the last known owner of those coins is you. Unfortunately there is always a risk of being framed with KYC&#39;d bitcoin. A solid strategy would be to sell them to Kraken, buy the same amount of XMR, immediately withdraw it and begin swaping the XMR for BTC in random times and amounts. With your own bitcoin node with Tor and all that ofc. <br/><br/> 2026-10-06T22:43:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxajn5v7zxe22eeag0yyqlwf726z24aw38zdgmvk47jtyl2zfc4fgzyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6537rw4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszjfpvlh8ap847djgwhnrnmfs9d55jjstuv6vnnh07ehm87nra8lg9c4034'>nevent1q…4034</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Should have used Monero™ <br/><br/> 2026-10-06T22:29:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdz9rw8hz3gks4gfpz8kzcd58zd89ckwuzl4y7d603ywxarfs45wczyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6wxjzel In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrwcj2suca6atde5j84nz20wwshdq679k5hwu9wujaqtdms0544mc7k08fj'>nevent1q…08fj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What do you mean by &#34;you need more trust on purchases because there is no traceable public record&#34;? <br/>As far as I know you don&#39;t need more trust for cash... <br/><br/> 2026-10-06T22:28:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvw3waxdxxy0l0psgsesg8c7pn5tzv7ancvglx6npunszwxaasspczyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6jt457q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqs2gz8stdpy28ghacd2xmuh2949s9mazw799534ngz34uwtw9jgc3wvl84'>nevent1q…vl84</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah the VPN thing is tricky, this guide helped me a lot:<br/><a href="https://privsec.dev/posts/qubes/using-mullvad-vpn-on-qubes-os/">https://privsec.dev/posts/qubes/using-mullvad-vpn-on-qubes-os/</a> <br/><br/> 2026-10-06T21:59:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs94qqle82t9qjf705mv789f3kscylwvz9rvym7gxc35cpfdn9fh9czyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6ta5t6m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspwh3fs24lhe58un6rxgaxhj4j6ccyt9dz86ft077yns7vze6f25gkfnjtx'>nevent1q…njtx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>amen 🙏 <br/><br/> 2026-10-06T21:57:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrgjn85fp7xphslnrhfs0nrgrz3d4dlx8fnayu68wytzy39wjkfuqzyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl69wc95m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvw7rvzah9fegu0jk0cc5xne5swawgtl95rghqq26qx83e5hn84qg0rtm07'>nevent1q…tm07</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think the War of Secession is a far better name for the conflict.

They only defer the date by which your privacy will be busted. If I send money to a SP address, I cannot guarantee that my privacy will be maintained because the recipient can choose to violate it, because Bitcoin does not provide shielding to the sender (in contrast to Monero). If you are targeted by the government and raided, when your SP private key is seized they will have a perfect record of everyone’s transactions. <br/><br/>You can also accidentally invalidate privacy with SP for both sender and recipient by combining UTXOs. Silent Payments, to actually facilitate privacy, require you to never KYC at an exchange and *never* combine UTXOs. Normal people are not going to be using coin control on every transaction. Imagine telling a normal person “you’re using it wrong! You can’t combine UTXOs when you spend your money, and you can’t send multiple UTXOs to your exchange separately either! You’re piercing the privacy veil!” Any reasonable person would conclude that privacy on Bitcoin is a big fucking joke. It’s ridiculous. </blockquote> 2026-10-06T21:45:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8342v72pjmpdvrk4q7vp8p2z434987q5efttz70l5qc7w2h7aq9szyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6eukm02 You want the most based #podcast in crypto?<br/>new Anti Moonboy episode just dropped: <br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqs2p7n9g0huynws80w0af8sj20cwq75fsefh08l902kj8cfa5h7wdcc8tjy6" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…tjy6</a></span> </div> new podcast, episode 87.<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzek735lsE0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzek735lsE0</a><br/><a href="https://antimoonboy.com/podcast/dir2cast/amn87.mp3">https://antimoonboy.com/podcast/dir2cast/amn87.mp3</a><br/><a href="https://odysee.com/@anti_moonboy:7/amn87:f">https://odysee.com/@anti_moonboy:7/amn87:f</a><br/><a href="https://rumble.com/v7gft80-anti-moonboy-news-87-permissionless-systems-are-neutral.html">https://rumble.com/v7gft80-anti-moonboy-news-87-permissionless-systems-are-neutral.html</a><br/><br/>Timestamps<br/><br/>0:00 Introduction<br/><br/>1:40 Near Intents frozen Zcash review<br/><br/><a href="https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/my-experience-exiting-shielded-zec-from-zodl-to-near-intents-589k-usdt-still-held-50-days-despite-a-written-compliance-clearance/57497">https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/my-experience-exiting-shielded-zec-from-zodl-to-near-intents-589k-usdt-still-held-50-days-despite-a-written-compliance-clearance/57497</a><br/><br/>5:03 Near Intents co counder unironically says "Permissionless doesn't mean neutral"<br/><br/><a href="https://x.com/AlexAuroraDev/status/2104554958754357482">https://x.com/AlexAuroraDev/status/2104554958754357482</a><br/><br/>16:02 Near Intents exploited, but hacker bizarrely returns funds after ultimatum<br/><br/><a href="https://x.com/coinbureau/status/2105653666946720072">https://x.com/coinbureau/status/2105653666946720072</a><br/><br/><a href="https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/2105863048544080077">https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/2105863048544080077</a><br/><br/><a href="https://x.com/AlexAuroraDev/status/2106068374770032981">https://x.com/AlexAuroraDev/status/2106068374770032981</a><br/><br/>20:57 Stolen Zcash shielded by alleged North Korean hackers<br/><br/><a href="https://x.com/xenumonero/status/2105286320058949694">https://x.com/xenumonero/status/2105286320058949694</a><br/><br/>26:45 Zcash hires a lobbyist<br/><br/><a href="https://ct.com/news/zcash-gets-a-washington-lobbyist-to-push-crypto-policy">https://ct.com/news/zcash-gets-a-washington-lobbyist-to-push-crypto-policy</a><br/><br/><a href="https://x.com/xenumonero/status/2107086841841168468">https://x.com/xenumonero/status/2107086841841168468</a><br/><br/>31:46 Sponsor: monero.forum<br/><br/>32:22 Sponsor: mynymbox.io<br/><br/>33:00 Sponsor: wipewipe.io<br/><br/>33:41 Sponsor: orangefren.com<br/><br/> 34:15 Sponsor: unstoppable.money<br/><br/>35:02 Darknet exit scams and Dread "hacked".

Banks are not your friend:<br/><br/>First things first: banks care only about making 💲. Because they operate through a legacy fiat structure (regulated, insured, state-approved) and depend on government permission to operate, they have to comply with every legal demand to continue making 💲. They won&#39;t risk their license on a simple data request. The state makes the rules of the banking game and following them is mandatory.<br/><br/>2. Banks will always share your data:<br/><br/>Revolut, like #Wise and other neo-banks, is very convenient but remains one of the largest honeypots 🍯 for private financial data out there: passport pictures, selfies, full transaction history (including #Bitcoin), account balances... all shared with threat actors masquerading as government agents. The point of this latest hack is not whether Revolut needs better internal protocols, more robust verification procedures or a better GDPR stance; the real issue is that banks **have to** share this data with the government (+ corporations) in order to operate—survive, even. In the legacy fiat system, your sensitive financial records are handed over by default. What you&#39;ve seen is just a small error in the enormous information-exchange machine, which is composed of AML agencies, credit bureaus, tax collectors and other state-aligned entities.<br/><br/>3. Banks will always request more data:<br/><br/>As surveillance grows and regulations tighten, banks will request ever more invasive data points from you, their customer. No matter that you&#39;ve already complied with every prior demand, one single instance of &#34;suspicious&#34; activity and you suddenly become guilty until proven innocent, which leads the bank to ask you for all your information, all over again (even if they already had most of it). You can never be completely &#34;clean&#34; in this Kafkian machine; whitelists require political connections or big money, and are only there because the government turns a (very selective) blind eye to its friends. The trend is clear as day and doesn&#39;t show any signs of changing: more requests, more scrutiny, more suspicion. For example, some banking apps are now requiring uninterrupted location access 📍 just to function, with the excuse of combating malicious login attempts.<br/><br/>4. Banks will always end up leaking your data:<br/><br/>Assume all of your banking data will be made public at some point in the future and modify your behavior accordingly. A good rule of thumb is this: would I be embarrassed if someone shouted this information in my town&#39;s main square? If not, proceed with the transfer. For sensitive purchases, use cash 💵 in physical stores and #Monero or Lightning ⚡ for online payments. The more you use private money, the less data there is for the machine to swallow. Minimize how much you feed it.<br/><br/>5. Banks will not erase your stolen data:<br/><br/>The consequences of a data breach 🪪 are long-standing. The sensitive records you willingly gave out cannot be deleted afterward—criminals don&#39;t honor the &#34;right to be forgotten&#34; and banks are obliged by the state to keep records for eternity at this point. Your legal name, address 🏠 and bank balance are hard to change. In isolation, they don&#39;t pose a threat to your safety. However, grouped together in the hands of an attacker, they suddenly become dangerous. Keep this fact in mind and plan around it. 2026-09-14T18:58:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv3wjjz0p0jj7lcq6zqw6qryaasy22w9d4xwrgyq55tz5rkjaedtczyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl672adv2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw3suxjj8puth4vj9u5vwr3actvtj4gjtwnzjm6cgfah6mr3u4udqvfeqzc'>nevent1q…eqzc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;d say it&#39;s just gay <br/><br/> 2026-09-14T14:29:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv3sz2wcvmr6dm0nxtz7h40833hgxn6erar8x8f65e2epm4vsm7cczyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl62e6gtz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2udqqdh2vhqam5l6afdfa7g04kppgvghpsz0vhjamhhen24dmmds3lmqd8'>nevent1q…mqd8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ultimately depends on what you value.

Monero, like gold, is inflationary in the sense of the first definition only, not the second.<br/>Annual tail emission forever being less than 1% of the total supply and the equilibrium between lost coins and newly minted ones are the two phenomenons that prevent the latter—loss of purchasing power— from happening. I feel like many people talk past each other arguing about this because they simply hold different definitions of inflation. <br/><br/> 2026-09-14T14:02:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvw2rf320cfuux2v2s38f5phdwacyc3j2a4tv6gea8af0625ahttczyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6z34fz7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs926lt3tv25enxqv3vnfmvfw9k7s7l60lsr8ca0ss53xxnwaas39qg0q35m'>nevent1q…q35m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Primero, estudiar ortografía. <br/><br/> 2026-09-13T22:25:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyur4h4rtrwa08aluj7lz4pwefr36xgrmt4tpkfe9fvz7qlpprxuszyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6edm6z2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqqqad4nxxv48lwcddfglkr9rvuzpzkmgd5sm2dc5p89gchqkmqpwkdjm'>nevent1q…kdjm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s a really interesting legal case that I believe is still ongoing.

No clean/dirty coins. That&#39;s why hackers prefer it. Fungible MoE.<br/><br/>Obviously OPSEC and other heuristics still matter, but Monero eliminates the trail that could directly lead to an off-chain identity. <br/><br/> 2026-09-13T22:03:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrxgze8syffxqkar2c5yq9ph8luqnmpteqcd37yke5w0u40r0n59szyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6huv29k In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswzwnjavlk4krdsge8w49pawssttvd07sv5pg7rradws8fcsr4j5cefneqn'>nevent1q…neqn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Moneropastillado 😎 🍊💊 <br/><br/> 2026-09-12T11:59:51Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdl5efxfz8n0wc7at5yphcqmmrgfx3hdrvzg9fmtrdp3cnvs7eywgzyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6x0arp6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw7yr2vatchs83ckfynn3snm98pnac7hzur2u4q8a5ku25y4hs04gmflml9'>nevent1q…lml9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks, I wasn&#39;t aware of the capability for offline transactions.

There is a qualitative jump between the two systems regarding programmability. Your bank cannot force you to spend your money inside of your neighborhood or next month, for example.<br/>Regarding efficiency, reliance on compliance from many third parties is substantially worse than a centralized one party approach. The EU would have to spend a lot more resources aggregating all banking customer data (assuming, for argument&#39;s sake, that all commercial banks relay every piece of data, which is unlikely) than simply looking at the CBDC ledger. <br/>Just curious to know whether you consider these two factors to be significant or not. <br/><br/> 2026-09-09T22:15:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0s8j4qzq5fu2awpnpuaze9n2wuremdtuh4tasspg0xkx4vd9rj0czyzpt9uqlcgvuu2ctxru35yz5m4ntk27fv48d9jrkvmna4a9n8agl6ssp7xj #GrapheneOS has &#34;essentially zero meetings.&#34; No managerial MO, no meeting quotas, no corporate BS.
