I can see hackers *might* try to hack Legendary accounts for resale or SigCamps
There is already an abundance of inactive Legendary and Hero accounts. I don't think this pandemic will result in a significant change in the number being hacked or reactivated.
Can we please have a sensible discussion of this issue and any solutions to identifying UID's that fall silent during this period and are potentially hacked/brought back to life later?
If someone falls seriously ill with SARS-CoV-2 and spends time in intensive care, then they will be at high risk of developing post intensive care syndrome which can bring with it months of fatigue, cognitive impairment, memory issues, focus and attention problems. Bitcoin and bitcointalk might be the last thing on their minds for a considerable length of time. A period of inactivity surrounding this pandemic doesn't necessarily mean a hacked account.
Having said that, as with all accounts which have "woken up" after a period of inactivity, asking to sign from a previously staked address or PGP key is a sensible move, bearing in mind that accounts can be sold along with previously staked addresses or PGP keys.
