Guys, a stupid question. I had the paper with my seed phrase on the bed and used my iPhone in my hand to enter the PIN code of my ledger. These 2 minutes my iPhone camera was probably directed towards my seed phrase. Should I be worried? Or am I good? Is NSA watching and has my seed phrase already? Please only serious answers.
Edit: I’m in Thailand right now and using True 5g mobile provider. And German citizen. Nothing to do with the US government.
You don't have to worry because even if you have used your iPhone towards your seed phrase that doesn't mean you should worry about it at all. However, if you're someone who thinks a lot and fears a lot then I suggest you to create a new wallet and write your seed phrase once again on paper. NSA doesn't really have much time to watch everyone, it's just a fear that's pushed into our minds. Just relax and follow the steps that I suggested, you'll be 100% safe and you won't have to even worry about NSA or anyone else.
I have to ask UnDeRDog81 why on earth did you have your seed out in the first place?
The PIN code to access my ledger is written on the same paper lol. So far I’m good. I think I’m too paranoid. I did all the stamping of the seed phrase on washers thing. Twice. And now I’m in a foreign country. Risk of losing my seed phrase (the paper) is a possibility if I create a new wallet. Not even 100% sure if the camera was pointed on the seed or not. But yes I agree, maybe if I get too much Kopfkino I will create a new wallet.
But if they were really watching it would have been gone already I think. I doubt that. I think the NSA has access to a bunch of sensitive passwords. But rogue employees probably face a 100 year sentence for treason if they'd use these passwords.
Also it's not the agencies employees watching and collecting the data. It's all 100% automated.
These agencies have huge databases, probably with pics from within every home in the US (taken with peoples smartphones) but in general they only gonna see through data in cases it's of interest for them.
Don't make the mistake to think they don't collect trivial data. It's just a problem of data storage. And I believe they figured that one out..
