Say your wife is a well known Bitcoin billionaire.

And your wife bought something from my eBay store. Now I have your home address.

And if I am a ruthless character then I quietly break into your house one day with th3e objective of leaving no sign I was ever there. Search for written down passwords, take a photo, leave.

Okay, so assuming you get past this theoretical billionaire's physical security (at a minimum gated fences and an alarm system; if they're actually a billionaire, probably 24/7 armed private security as well) and into their mansion, how long do you think it would take you to search their 7 bedroom 10000 square foot mansion for these written down passwords which you have no information as to whether they even exist?

If you're going to rob a billionaire, you're probably not doing it cartoon style.

You'd find a legit way into the house.

You get Tom Cruise to do the job of course.

Ahahaha

You get hired as a cleaner

So the "Live, Laugh, Love" sticker on the kitchen wall isn't safe? /s

Hilarious

Why make it so complex? Just do a title search online and you’ll get access to their address if they own a home.

[rblatz]

Unless they own it in a trust.

[andrewstuart]

Of course its obvious there's many ways to get someone's address.

The point is that companies put vast effort into digital security but in many cases it's easily compromised by going to the home of the person that is the hacking target.

If they schlep to your house and successfully break in they might as well tie you up and beat the password and whatever info they need out of you.

Especially if your parents accidentally left you home alone..
