Crypto security has a blind spot we still underestimate. Your seed phrase can be perfectly safe while your identity becomes the attack surface. @SafePal disclosed that an authorization flaw in an order tracking plugin exposed names, emails, phone numbers, shipping addresses and purchase details for about 39,798 customers. Private keys, seed phrases and funds were not compromised. And that distinction matters. The next attack does not necessarily start by breaking the wallet. It starts with knowing exactly who owns one. Once an attacker has your name, address, phone number and hardware wallet purchase history, phishing becomes much more convincing and physical security becomes part of crypto security too. Self custody is not only about protecting keys anymore. It is about minimizing everything that can be connected to those keys. The wallet can be offline. Your metadata is not.
