Is Pastebin Safe?
I use https://pastebin.com/ to organize some lists. When I select "Paste Exposure: Private", will it be really private and only accessible via login? I read somewhere on the internet that there are programs that may capture what is inside a private paste and they only need the paste ID. Is that true? Is Pastebin Safe at all?
I am also worried because some private pastes from my account have +10 'unique visitors'. That shouldn't be.
Are there any alternatives? I need to manage several lists and I like it to be bound to an account but if anybody may read my stuff that would be awful.
“Is Pastebin Safe?” Absolutely it is safe. Remember, if you are using a free service, then you are the product. Pastebin is a free service that is definitely vulnerable. Personally, I have been using Pastebin quite often. It's a very good service, and I am not worried about the website owners running off with my private information because I do not provide it. However, since you are paying fort this service, I doubt any company would go out of its way to hurt its customers. Still, we can't see what the admins of the website are able to do, so we likely can't inform you. I am also worried because some private pastes from my account have +10 'unique visitors'. That shouldn’t be. Do not depend on these free services like this for things that need to be kept private/safe. I understand Pastebin.com has a private paste option for paid accounts. Private and unlisted pastes are different.
