I suppose. Though what about for someone without enough of a programming background to engage in bot wars? Normal users with no programming background at all and no savvy friends I suppose would be complete victims—all attempts to alert others would be thwarted or hijacked by the hacker. (They could only communicate the issue off Nostr, but who would know of their off Nostr presence?)

in real life this isn't a problem. plenty of people on nostr have migrated from compromised profiles
Ah yeah, I've been looking for those cases. Have you got an example of a compromised npub that's been left behind? Or a new npub someone moved to afterwards (so I can go back and see their first hello there explaining the situation and the move)?
