You get phished, someone sells your info, the buyer empties your bank account over the phone. This and variations are very common in Europe.

- icebraining 9y agoYour posts in this thread would be more helpful with some source. Is it personal experience? Are you an European LEO?
- ryanlol 9y agoPersonal experience. I used to frequent several private forums related to this sort of activity and had many friends who did this for a living. I am fascinated by the inner workings of these things, so naturally I asked lots of questions. There used to be some public discussions on the alphabay forums, which was filled with small time bank fraudsters from both the US and the EU. The EU ones actually seemed much more prevalent. I couldn't find many interesting scrapes quickly, but this one might be worth a look: https://evidencebasedsecurity.org/forums/data/dk/darkode_scrape.zip https://evidencebasedsecurity.org/forums/data/dk/darkode_scr... I'm sure there's an AB forum scrape floating around somewhere too... But not here https://www.gwern.net/DNM-archives https://www.gwern.net/DNM-archives

But not here https://www.gwern.net/DNM-archives https://www.gwern.net/DNM-archives I believe the AlphaBay forums were integrated into the main site and so would be findable in the AB dump; most DNMs kept their forums on separate .onions so had to be crawled separately.
- ryanlol 9y agoI'm 100% sure the AB forums were separate from the main site and on a different onion address. Perhaps you're confusing with Hansa? I'll grab the dump and check the contents anyway.
