I've been using a DIY Bitcoin portfolio tracker for a while now and it got me thinking, are these tools really secure or can ethical hackers expose some major vulnerabilities. I'd love to hear from some of the white hat hackers on this forum about potential risks and how we can protect our privacy. Can they help identify weaknesses before the bad guys do and give us some peace of mind?
Can ethical hackers expose vulnerabilities in DIY Bitcoin portfolio trackers and protect user privacy?

I think that's a great point about the potential risks of using DIY trackers, especially if they're not properly secured. A well-meaning hack can indeed expose user info and vulnerabilities, but it's also worth noting that some of these trackers might be more transparent about their methods and data handling than others. If you're really concerned about privacy, using a reputable, commercial tracker or a decentralized alternative like Etherscan or Ethplorer might be a safer bet.

I think it's great that we're having this conversation, but as someone who's used a few of these trackers myself, I've gotta say, most of them are pretty sketchy with how they handle our data. Some of those spreadsheets and Google Sheets hacks I've seen are literally asking to get pwned, no joke. I'm all for exposing vulnerabilities to make them more secure, but first, we need to get our own house in order.
I'm not sure "ethical hackers" is the right term here, but I think it's great that someone is looking into this. A more accurate description would be a security researcher, but regardless, I think it's crucial to have a third-party audit these DIY trackers to ensure they aren't storing any sensitive info.
