Anonymous No More? Monero Exploit Reveals User Identities to Hackers

The researcher, Anthony Russell, says that he can actually locate Monero users through transaction broadcasts.

When users open up their Monero wallets, they connect to the peer-to-peer network, which allows users to then connect to individual wallets.

According to Russell, If the users of those wallets aren’t using TOR or I2P, you can easily determine their IPs.

One potential problem with this method is that it doesn’t necessarily differentiate between server nodes and peers. However, Russell says that this can be overcome by doing a simple whois search............

LOL! Collecting IPs from netstat output reveals identities. This is so fucking retarded.

You've been targeted with FUD! How do you feel about that?

So who does this one work for?

Judging by the schedule in the near future we will see the growth of the coin. Well, if they add COIN  to the Bitfly exchange, I think we'll see x2.

Bad news tbh.
It's not even news. Anthony Russell is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. No shit you need to connect on nodes to get your chain in sync and transmit transactions. But you can't pin identities or wallet addresses based on IPs you've collected from your own node. Use your head people. How do you think we got this https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html

Anthony needs to work a lot harder if he wants his 5 minutes internet fame, reminding us of the bare basic of p2p cryptocurrencies wont do.

When I tried to send to an integrated monero address from Monerujo mobile android wallet, monerujo doesn't recognize the address as valid.
Does Monerujo not have integrated address use enabled?  Is the use of integrated addresses in Monerujo under development?

You would probably do better posting this as an issue on the github, as the dev would get an email notification. In fact, it seems like this issue has come up already:

Perhaps a bit misleading?  Last time I checked it was still around 15,000,000.  Unless that has changed drastically in the last hour...

The usual spelling and grammatical issues found on the internet, but hopefully a simple enough explanation to intrigue noob readers.  Print whatever you like, just make sure to spell the name right, right?  Wink  Good to see the effort being made.

Which types of users do you think would benefit most from a private coin like monero?  I think that anonimity is a strong point but some friend of mine think that the open ledger is more important!

Maybe if the account belongs to a charity or a benevolent government. But the applications for that seem relatively niche. Almost all normal people and for profit institutions would need privacy. Both employees and employers benefit from their competition not being able to read their finances like an open book.

All users. https://www.monero.how/why-monero-vs-bitcoin read this, from Why might Monero see greater future adoption than Bitcoin? forward, it is explained very well why this is important.

I would say government Secret Services will get alot of use from this coin once the eco system is in place. All of them, this is the easiest way to fund dissidents and another cold war is on the way.

LOL! Then watch the market cap grow.
