A growing concern in the industry: KYC requirements, while intended for regulatory compliance, may inadvertently create concentrated databases that attract malicious actors. When personal identification data gets aggregated at compliance checkpoints, it raises questions about whether stricter identity verification actually strengthens security—or simply creates more valuable targets for cyber threats and criminal networks.

Uh... doesn't that mean KYC collects all our data together, turning it into a hacker's hunting ground? How ironic.

Nah, this is a dead loop. The stricter the KYC, the more attractive the target for hackers. Centralized databases are just a ticking time bomb.

KYC is becoming more and more of a joke. They say it's for security, but in the end, they end up putting all their eggs in one basket... Hackers are laughing in their sleep.

Isn't this a paradox... The more you require identity verification, the more you end up putting everyone's information together as targets. That's hilarious.

How ironic, to prioritize safety by putting all eggs in one basket—that's the regulatory paradox, isn't it?

KYC stuff... claiming it's for security, but in reality, it just piles all the data together, really giving hackers a big gift. Isn't this just a centralized target?

NGL, this is a paradox. The stricter the regulations, the more dangerous it becomes? Those exchanges are hoarding so much identity information; they'll be compromised sooner or later...
