Think you can glide across the web like a master of shadows, like a ninja on roller skates? You're clearly wrong! All those "smart" OPSEC guides you've swallowed are like microwave instructions. Your real fail is your online persona, which gives you away. One slip-up, and you're already a police TikTok star. Let's figure out how not to become a meme for the cops!
Your digital scraps are your personal apocalypse
Forget about spy thrillers where you get caught by a drone or through a super hack. Your own mistakes will give you away: your nickname, your email, your password that you came up with in 2005. Every time you register on some shop or forum, it's like you're leaving an autograph: "CATCH ME, I'M HERE!" Cops, hackers and all sorts of eggheads with databases are already rubbing their hands to put together your puzzle.
The Internet is your personal snitch
The Internet is not your bro, he remembers everything, like your ex. Especially in the carding community, where every site is a target for hacking. All these "cool" shops and forums? They leak data faster than you leak coffee on your keyboard. When such a site breaks, your nicknames, emails and messages fly across the databases like confetti. Investigators, like digital Sherlocks, collect these scraps through IntelX, Dehashed and other toys to draw your portrait.
Imagine: you came up with a nickname for a shop in 2022. In 2023, it was hacked, and your nickname, crypto wallet and password hash became publicly available. And then these smart guys find the same hash in a leaked app where you indicated your address and name. Bingo, you're in the database, genius!
Your identity is your own thriller
Do you think only a hack will give you away? Ha, your identity is like a puzzle from the "Everything for 50 rubles" store, which is assembled from your own blunders.
A nickname for all occasions is your ticket to jail
Do you use "DarkNinja420" everywhere, from forums to chats? Well done, you wrote yourself a dossier! Investigators run your nickname through WhatsMyName or SpiderFoot, and - oops! - it appears on Reddit, Discord, and even in your old posts about cats. Carders, you are like targets at a fair! Do you think your nickname on the store is a secret? Yeah, it's already linked to your game account, which leads to the chat where you said something stupid. Footprints, bro!
Real Fail: Ross Ulbricht and Silk Road
The dude who started Silk Road thought he was elusive. He promoted his site under the nickname "altoid", and then under the same nickname asked for IT help, throwing out his email (rossulbricht@gmail.com). He also asked questions about Tor on Stack Overflow under his real name, and then changed the nickname to "frosty". But the Internet is not your buddy, it remembers everything. Google connected the dots, and Ross is now a star of the prison block.
Email is your digital muzzle
Your email is like your online ID. Even your "secret" ProtonMail can give you away if you use it everywhere. One darknet market admin, the genius of the year, put his personal email in a welcome letter. The cops immediately found out where he hangs out and what kind of coffee he drinks.
Real fail: Alexander Kazes and AlphaBay
AlphaBay was the king of the darknet until his boss screwed up like a first-grader. He put his personal email in letters from a site that had his nickname and year of birth. And he used this same email on legal forums under his own name! The cops found his shell companies and caught him in Bangkok with an open laptop. Curtain call, bro!
Domains are your forever mistake
Regal domain for your phishing site? If you haven't hidden your data, you're already in the database. Services like DomainTools store everything: your number, email, even the address you gave out when you were drunk. One mistake, and you're in the system forever.
Writing style is your digital signature
Your writing style is like your handwriting. Do you like to write Тее instead of Ту? Always forgetting commas? Investigators use text analysis to figure you out. That cool slang of yours from forums, if it pops up in your posts, that's it, you're busted .
Real fail: hacker Desorden/ALTDOS
One Singaporean hacker thought he was as sly as a fox, changing nicknames: ALTDOS, Desorden, GHOSTR. But his writing style was like a tattoo on his forehead. Investigators took apart his ransom notes and forum posts. His words and mannerisms gave everything away, and the cops came knocking on the 39-year-old dude's door in Bangkok.
Passwords Are Your Digital Beacon
Your password is more than just a code, it’s your personal signature. “Luna1995!” Sound familiar? When a website goes down, your password hash gets into the databases. Investigators don’t have to crack it — they just look for that hash in other leaks. Did it match? It’s like a GPS for your address.
Real fail: Roman Seleznev “Track2”
Russian carder Roman, aka “Track2”, was the king of his craft, but he got busted for his passwords. He used the same passwords for his personal and criminal accounts. The cops caught him in the Maldives, tried the password from another account — and bingo, access to 1.7 million stolen cards. 27 years in prison. Genius, what!
Personal info is your fatal gaffe
Do you think your “anonymous” account on the darknet is a bunker? Yeah, right. One carder, who thought he was a god, blurted out on a forum that he had a daughter. A trifle? Yeah, but he used the same nickname on a daddy forum, where he bragged about a stroller and indicated his email. Investigators put two and two together, found his photos with the child on social networks, and — bam! — he was already in handcuffs.
Real fail: carder "BabyShark"
A dude with the nickname "BabyShark" was shining on theft forums, until he spilled the beans. On one darknet forum, he blurted out that he had a daughter, Sofia. He used the same nickname on a forum for young fathers, where he described how he chose a stroller, and indicated his real email. The cops ran his nickname through the databases, found a match, and there was his photo with the baby. The result? Arrest, confiscation, and tears over an empty crib.
John McAfee and a photo with a geotag (Guatemala, 2012)
McAfee (creator of the McAfee antivirus) was hiding from the authorities of Belize, who wanted to question him in a murder case. He went to Guatemala, trying to play hide and seek.
Vice journalists interviewed him and posted the photo on the site with the caption "We found John McAfee."
The photo's EXIF data contained GPS coordinates.
He was arrested in Guatemala 24 hours later.
How to Avoid Becoming a Police TikTok Star
Okay, you realize you're in deep shit. Here's how to avoid adding to your problems.
Live Like a Spy with a Split Personality
Each of your online personas is a separate dude. Carding? A separate computer, Linux on a flash drive via Tor. Personal life? Another device, another network, another browser. Crossed paths? You're in a cage.
New party - new you
For each forum, shop, chat - a new nickname, a new email (without a phone), a new writing style. Want to live? Become different, like in a spy movie.
Passwords Are Your Super Shield
Use KeePassXC, create passwords of 20+ characters, different for each site. Store them on an encrypted flash drive that doesn't know what Wi-Fi is.
Keep quiet like a fish
NEVER talk about personal things. Had a baby girl? Cool, but keep it in a safe. One post — and you're a database star.
Check yourself like a paranoid
Search for your nicknames and emails in leak databases via IntelX or Dehashed. Found something? Throw everything away like a burning match and start over.
Before every click, think: "If this site gets leaked tomorrow, what will it give out?" Every word is like a signature on a protocol.
Cryptocurrency mixing is your invisible cloak
Why mix? Mixing breaks the connection between your wallet and the transaction. I'll tell you some other time
Bottom line: be a ghost, not a meme
Your main enemy is your laziness, show-off, and belief that you're smarter than everyone else. The Internet is not your buddy, it's snitching on you 24/7. Every nickname, email, post is a thread that leads to you.
The key to anonymity:
Live like a spy: separate identities, nicknames, devices.
Keep quiet like a fish: no personal details.
Check yourself: look for leaks
Be paranoid: every click is a signature on the protocol.
You are not anonymous until you prove that you are invisible. Discipline or handcuffs - the choice is yours.
Good luck!
