In light of recent events RE: “Hacker Arrests”. A few short notes:
1-Compartmentalise. Machines, offline must never intersect with online.
2-VPN is your friend.
3-Never associate with known crims
4-All traffic at carrier level is under Deep Packet Inspection. Proceed with caution.
5-Never hack Kenyans, unpatriotic.
6-Remember that all USD transactions at any bank worldwide are recorded at FRBNY. Financial systems are a no-no if you’re not a “big boy”.

You and Jirani can’t understand OPSEC matters.
OPSEC kazi gani…kama jamaa wa silk road alishikwa then hii mambo ingine ni pata potea type of situation.
Ross Ulbricht (DPR)ordered for fake ID via mail. It was intercepted by the Postal Service. Online met Offline. It was only a matter of “following the cat to know where it shits” after that. Had he never made that order he may still be a free man.
That was the cover story the Feds told the world. DPR’s story was never truly told…That genius was snitched from within.
There be snitches everywhere, it’s sort of my point, plus the misconfigured onion site. TOR is shit for security, the feds can unmask you (remember, they let a CP suspect walk free other than reveal their exploits in court) Anyway, I agree DPR was an internet pioneer in his own right. Only the paranoid survive.
