Lumi Wallet’s CEO Diana Furman, Global Data Privacy & Protection Expert Debbie Reynolds, and Brady Dale a CoinDesk Reporter discussed the latest scandals relative to data security.
The exposition that the TikTok app is snooping on its users and storing the data from their clipboards shows a huge data security problem, and it is more than just invading privacy, it’s about the potential risk to the security of users’ financial data.
Diana Furman, CEO of Lumi Wallet, highlighted the importance of clipboard data security for the cryptocurrency market and wallets in particular. She mentioned that there is a huge problem for those who are newcomers to the crypto market because they don’t know how essential it is to not share mnemonics… And many users don’t understand that when they copy their mnemonics or private keys, it can be read by a different application.
This can lead to one day somebody hacking the data store center of such apps, like what happened with Twitter last week. And all mnemonics can be easily found by such scammers, so they could steal all your funds and it would be impossible to get it back. As Debbie Reynolds suggested, one of the solutions to this problem could be separate data storage for personal and financial issues.
