How did you confirm compromise?
Yup he said all the user nsecs at least used to be stored online but since has been moved, but that he thought many may have been leaked before.
Nostr security is hard.. every application has the option to paste your nsec but very little way to ensure it’s not compromised. Nsec signers and other ways to log-in with Nostr needs to be improved..
Yup. Most Nostr users that have been here for a little while have done things that, from a raw security perspective, mean we should assume our nsecs are already compromised and continue to use them with that in mind. Once this is better addressed users arriving afterwards will be in a better place.
How does one go through this many security failures in so little time? I don't want to be rude, I really like what you guys are doing, and I don't want to make a bad situation worse, we bitcoiners should stick together. This is coming one after another. Please take care of your security.

Ok But how do I know this npub had any nip-05 alias configured and it has changed to another npub? I followed this npub, not the NIP-05 alias... I don't remember which DNS name was defined this npub....
The second one. I understand nip-05 use for a company with a known DNS name to point to it's 'official' npub. But I think that is of no use for people's npubs. I think WoT is a better option there. 🫂
Getting your nsec compromised shouldn’t make you lose all your followers. We need to decouple private keys and identity. Private keys should never leave the device that generated them. Anyone working on the equivalent of a SAFE multisig for Nostr? I know about Frostr. Is anyone using it? Any other explorations? View quoted note →
Nostr signers . The copy paste is the weak point , if only human brain can memorise that key . The good way would be generate your seed phrase ( mnemonic) on offline device to prevent any network exposure
