Protect Ethereum Wallet Privacy

By Yugocean | Crypto Champion | 12 Oct 2022


It has been discovered with search finding ethereum addresses that crypto addresses are now searchable on Google.

Privacy

Google has enough user data to match crypto wallet addresses to people. So, on getting the information, it will publicise without worrying about privacy. This might let everyone know everything about your assets.

This includes crypto-unfriendly political personalities, corrupt people, and thieves too; they may know all about the wallet and the transactions it is making. People have to worry about this because their assets will be at risk.

If governments force the platform to reveal the owner of the address, the problem will be compounded. A public company like Coinbase certainly does so. Celsius was also ordered by the US court system to make the information public.

How to Avoid This Danger:

When you create an Ether address, you are given 42 characters and a private key that only you have. Apart from this, the address and you are not related. Without the key, the wallet is also not yours. But whoever shares their details by registering on ENS, their risk is their own.
