In case an attacker gets his hands on someone's private keys and impersonates them, how are we sure that the account have been breached? I can prove my identity to the central authority in the case of twitter and all the normal social media platforms, then they get back my account. But I feel like it's more tricky for a decentralized protocol, I don't wanna share my id publicly...
