What happens if your NOSTR private key gets hacked? How do you let people know? It’s not like you can close your account bc you can’t “delete” a private key, right?

well, no one's perfect, except Señor Perfecto, or anyone whose name is Perfect
it almost happened to me, luckily I was able to save back ups of my confidentials in some cloud, idk I got plenty, like dropbox, drive, etc and a coupla security software, as I dont trust Gdrive 💯
But once someone has your private key, it seems like there is no way to recover? Only option I see is to start a new one and try to get the word out to all the accounts that used to follow you to block the scammer
You have a valid suggestion but if you used your mobile, your private key is still on your clipboard, unless you're the type that deletes clipboard contents regularly
but if it hapens to be a brilliant hacker, I'd have looked into your clipboard, copied everything, then delete
but I'm nice, I won't do that, except for life and death situations or national security concern
and...
there's a way to recover deleted clipboard contents 😊
so yeah, check your clipboard first
on your mobile, tap MESSAGING
tap CREATE A MESSAGE
There's your keyboard!
and voila!
There's your clipboard!
