It allows to decrypt all the messages (if any) that the user encrypted with it. And there is no way back. Once the key is leaked all the previous encrypted messages are compromised too and there is no way to prevent that. So yes, pretty dangerous if someone put sensitive information in an encrypted memo or other blockchain operations.
It seems like I read something about people being able to insert trojan horse-type programs with the memo key once as well.
That seems odd, got a link?
I do not sorry, it was a Hive post I believe that was talking about it though.
