RE: DOING KYC – DON’T LET YOUR IDENTITY GET STOLEN
Great post Eric! An important warning to those of us in the crypto space. Its funny, we're so protective of our Private Keys yet have no problem sending such sensitive documents across the internet for KYC/AML. Its Identity Theft waiting to happen and we as a community need to address the problem before hacks become commonplace.
Thanks Angie, And yes too many are unaware. And that the risk is real is again demonstrated by the hack of Typeform, used by many ICOs for KYC. This was discovered on June 27. If someone sent KYC information via Typeform, these data could have been stolen.

Hope ICO's, Projects and Echanges take note of this and take their responsibility too.
