What are the different ways Crypto transactions can be traced back to a person?
Supposedly Crypto currency is "anonymous" on the internet, using your banking information and phone & e-mail verification for every login in and from your computer with public ledgers.This makes absolutely no sense to me that anybody can say it's "anonymous" with a straight face or not followed with "NOT!/PSYCH!"

Phish... Or not?
In this day and age you'd think credit card companies wouldn't make their security calls sound like phishing attempts. My current company just called me with a fraud alert, and asked for identifying information to "make sure" it was me.It's bad practice for individuals to give out any identifying information on incoming phone calls. It's also bad practice for companies to call and then ask for identifying information, because it tends to train people to give out information on incoming phone calls.I'm hoping someone here works for one of the major card systems, and can ping their security department about this, because they should try to keep issuing banks from trying this sort of verification.

Privacy aware Todo app?
HiI really would like to use a Todo/Calendar app on my Android. But most apps sync your data to the cloud, which i'm not comfortable with.Do you know any todo/calendar app that's privacy aware?

Thoughts about SS7 vulnerabilities and 2FA over SMS?
Hey guys, so recently I was reading articles about SMS being an insecure method of transmitting 2FA codes. This makes sense reading about the SS7 breaches and inherently social engineering also increases the risk of this being a 'bad' method of authentication.In fact if I understand this correctly this means SMS basically is not 'true' 2FA, since the whole point is to require something you HAVE and proves you HAVE it, if SMS is this insecure then it fails this litmus test.My biggest conundrum on this is recoverability, obviously they still need my Google password, which is rather long and secure, however it still opens a hole however small.However, closing that hole means that should my phone be lost/destroyed, my tablet/work PC/home PC and smattering of backup envelopes be lost/inaccessible (basically a natural disaster), I would lose everything.I guess this is kind of the point, and TECHNICALLY I could reach out to Google and see if I could get access again, but they are notoriously troublesome when it comes to this.What are your thoughts, is the risk with SS7/SMS vulnerabilities 'big' enough to warrant being extra paranoid, or is it largely fools gold? I am not an important person, nor am I rich, the likelyhood of someone directly targeting me is unlikely and all the computers I use on a daily basis belong to me. I also have Google Prompt setup so even if something did happen I would be able to select that it wasn't me/see a notification.I am pretty sure I am massively overthinking this, but figure I would ask the experts. Thanks for any help or clarification you can provide!

If an ISP deletes your Ip address does that mean any site holding your Ip adress cant do anything ?
I live in Canada and just curios and wanted to, I hear all the time is if someone has your Ip address can trace you. But as I stated if your internet service provider deletes your Ip address which my Isp rogers says it does after a year you stop using their service, are your off the raydar ?edit: this not because i did anything illegal lol
