If you talk about bitcoin on here or X etc, and your real name is identifiable, you need to think about the fact that your physical address may have been doxxed.

This is a big deal.
—Not just identity theft.
I really recommending reading this.

In summary, a company which does ID verification for in-person interactions (hotels, car rentals, ID verification for alcohol or marijuana, etc) has some how exposed over 153,000,000 drivers licenses for people in the United States and Canada.

It is a catastrophic data breach, probably one of the worse I've ever seen. If you're in the United States and have traveled, gotten a hotel, purchased marijuana or alcohol, there is a high probability you're in this.

Unlike other breaches, this includes a photo of the person (from the license), making verification you've identified the person significantly easier.

This poses a significant threat to celebrities (think YouTubers, adult entertainers & other polarizing influencers) 😬
