## Confirmation Chains
Since the owner's keys might have leaked, `Kind:18`s **alone** can't be trusted.
Since the owner's keys might have leaked and this event might come from an attacker, `Kind:18`s **alone** can't be trusted.
Close acquaintances to the owner should verify the owner's intention off nostr and signal their conclusion by adding the new key to their contact lists.
Others can follow based on their individual trust on such those acquaintances.
Others may choose to follow suit based on their trust in such acquaintances.
## Interpretation
The presence of one or more `kind:18`s, no matter who writes it, declares the key to be out of use, unreliable, unsafe and potentially stolen: No event, past and future, from this key can be trusted anymore.

Users that have a `kind:18` published by their keys MUST migrate to a new key.
There can be multiple `kind:18`s pointing to separate new keys. Finding which event is the right one requires observing contact lists of trusted keys.
## Information retention
## Information Retention
Clients SHOULD send `kind:18` to as many relays as possible, not only to the owner's relay list.
