So the primary use for this database would be phishing, right? Or some attempt at building a reverse cell phone number lookup database, assuming people have reused usernames? My normal username was taken when I signed up for snapchat, but I suppose you could use this to get quite a few cell number -> instagram or twitter pairings?

When i first read your post smtddr i got worried we had a collision! Ive found the quality of blockchain auditing in 2013 highly inaccurate. I recently bring attention to the case recently on reddit where…

w-ll was talking about the original BTC address in my profile being on the known list for cryptolocker. The same address I linked to in my reply to her/him. When you say "we", who are you? Also, that whole reddit thread about chasing the SMP stolen coins I thought was too hard to actually pull off. For example, I use coinbase to buy BTC, to send to BTC-e.com, to buy Litecoins and ultimately store them in the offline…

Please consider corresponding with the author of the Github repo to see if they can figure out why that address was included in the list.

Based on the page for that tool ( http://miki.it/articles/papers/#bitiodine ), it looks like they would be interested to know of the failure.

The top comment on Reddit r/netsec's corresponding coverage has mirrors on Mega.co.nz for the files [1] I couldn't find my own data in the set, and actually it seems like lots of entire area codes are missing. Assuming `cat schat.csv | uniq | cut -c1-4 | wc -l` is the proper command, there are only 76 of 322 [2] US area codes represented. It appears there are two Canadian area codes represented in the database: 867 a…

I think you meant cat schat.csv | cut -c1-4 | uniq | wc -l

Oops. That's actually what I ran but I typed the wrong command I to the text box.

And done... https://github.com/mikispag/bitiodine/issues/3

This whole incident reminds me of Reddit doxxing. This could have ended up much worse for me. I'm just glad I found out this way instead of the police requesting info from Google about my youtube account and gmail inbox then busting down my door in the middle of the night.
