However, I know people are going to use Monero anyway. So it makes sense to give this warning. # Practical Statistical Attack on Monero There's a practical statistical attack on Monero related to its [decoy selection algorithm](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Rucknium-OSPEAD-Fortifying-Monero-Against-Statistical-Attack.html). Work to resolve the issue is in progress. It's not clear how severe this vulnerability is, but Monero's adversaries (DEA, FBI, IRS, NSA) may already be using it. -It might not be safe any more to rely on Monero for your freedom. If you still must use Monero, use non-KYC exchanges, different addresses for every transaction, and make sure your addresses never get linked to your real-world identity. +It might not be safe anymore to rely on Monero for your freedom. If you still must use Monero, use non-KYC exchanges, different addresses for every transaction, and make sure your addresses never get linked to your real-world identity. # Defense in Depth None of us knows how soon Shor-capable quantum computers will be built. But when they are built, Monero's privacy may be under threat yet again. |
