Title: Security and the account page
Post by: RedDead on August 03, 2011, 06:51 pm
I may be paranoid, but what about SR keeping a record of your transactions on the account page? It lists the amount deposited and the address to where it was sent. Mt Gox has said publicly they would cooperate with LE. Theoretically, if LE got a hold of the SR server, couldn't they match the addresses listed on your account page with the records on Mt Gox? Mt Gox must keep a record of the address money is sent to. I think SR should give you the option of deleting your account history.

I agree. But nobody should send coins to/from MtGox directly.

I guess you mean with the block explorer? I always wondered if SR used some kind of tumbling action, so that if the site was compromised the block chain wouldn't yield much. But even if it did,  it would only say BTC went from one user to another, it wouldn't yield personal info directly from SR. But you should definitely not be putting BTC in or out directly from SR to mtgox or tradehill.

There was a feature request to be able to delete our transaction history on our account page...maybe they can atleast start deleting transactions older than 30 days. Dont see anything older than that being of much use to anyone but LE.
