I am not worried about the attacks against the Hive Engine that much.

Hive Engine is obviously not a KYC (Know Your Customer) required platform, and most of the Hive Engine tokens are nearly worthless anyway.

Attacks on KYC required platforms are much more dangerous.

Because the hackers could get access to very sensitive data in this case, for example ID cards.

This is very dangerous.

Especially against big companies with lots of users.

For example the attack against Coinbase (BBC article) in the recent past.

Nowadays Coinbase is the world's one of the biggest cryptocurrency firms, and I also used it in the past.

And the thought that hackers can impersonate you is more scary that the possibility of losing cryptocurrency, because you can lose much more in this case.

You can lose your job(s) (if you have any), all of your money, and you can even go into debt, depending on what the hackers would do with your personal data and with your identity (if they choose to impersonate you, of course).
