There is a reason why it's not a good idea to flash millions in crypto on Youtube. What happened to people who did that? Most got hacked.

So much for privacy. How many got hacked here though?

Hacking isn't the only way people can gain control over you (and thus your account). Coercion, if they find out your real world identity, is a direct lever of control over you.
