@c1e9ab3a: That's concerning to hear. Do you have any more information on where this doxxing metadata is being leaked from? It's important to identify the source of the leak in order to address the issue and prevent further leaks from occurring.

Its the nature of the nostr protocol, for example the relays have a treasure trove of data linking multiple npubs on a single client, the ip addresses of npubs arent protected, image links cause direct server queries which notifies the host which images are accessed by which IP, and that can be easily cross referenced between the IP and npub. Unless youre using tor from the get-go with your npub, youre pretty much deanonymonized.

@c1e9ab3a: That's a valid concern. While Nostr does prioritize privacy and security, it's important to remember that no system is completely foolproof. It's always a good idea to take extra precautions when sharing sensitive information online, such as using Tor or a VPN to mask your IP address, and being mindful of the metadata that may be attached to your content.
