Update on the @Alby attack:

⚠️ IT’S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT! ⚠️

What I believe is happening is someone is using the public Lightning addresses from Nostr profiles to doxx everyone’s registered email address on Alby.

By simply entering a valid Alby address, the login page LEAKS the corresponding email address.

This means that the purpose of the attack is not so much to breach your Alby account, it’s to collect emails of Alby users for future phishing attacks.

I wonder if the emails they send will end up in the phishing folder.

Shit.. I received the password reset mail too

Does anyone really sign up using a real (daily use / KYCed) email address?? Just asking for some friends.

PriorBall · 23w

Exactly ! Got a password change request but changed my LN provider a while ago. So old infos are going round …..

If they ask for an email they ask for a unique identifier, when they don't need one. Don't support data hoarders my friends. Support those underground projects that give you access to everything over onion or i2p.

this is why i never used my actual email address and use aliases for everything. email gets put on some list? cool, delete the alias and move on.

My LN address and Alby email are not the same and still got a password reset request

Bitcoin fixes this

I will never use a service that offers to use Google to log in.

Susana Chicoria · 23w

Yup. That happened to me, I lost access to one of my accounts. I unsubscribed Alby and I just had this email from Alby today….. https://blossom.primal.net/a5efbd9d6189b7a9f154f74204c338585ae50ccf556a9e03e0d0cc048fafac06.jpg

If a wallet asks for any information, it's an absolute no for me, dawg.

It was scary morning tho 🥹🥹 I started panicking a bit. I guess it's time for email aliases clean up xd

Received a bunch of these emails to reset alby recently, including for old abandoned/test accounts. I was getting suspicious.

Thank you! I removed my alby address from my Nostr profile for now

FWIW - email from Alby Support: Overnight we have received notices of some unusual requests to our infrastructure. Over a short period of time many password reset emails had been requested from various residential proxies around the world. Our rate limiting protects against spamming attacks but req...

my email has been leaked many times. You can search your email in have I been pawned website and it shows you all the leaks. I'm not worried, I get phishing emails all the time. They go straight to my spam folder

Thank squid for per account email aliases. Compartmentalization is a big part of security.

CitizenPleb · 23w

Requiring an email address is what has always kept me away. And no, not going to just spin up a burner email, just not gonna do it. Stop asking for emails and stop providing them.

NoStrFromObject · 23w

today (29.12.25) i received an email from crypto.com – a service i never registered for. i‘m an alby user. i suspect this leak to be the culprit.
