This is a silly post with little news value.

quote:

“We effectively got him from his day one, week one, of activity on Silk Road,” Chowles said. Chowles explained that included tracing a loan from payday loan company Wonga in White’s name, which was then sent to cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox, which then transferred bitcoin funds to the StExo account on Silk Road and paid for some items on the site.
Wonga loans had a typical APR 5853%
nice business plan

remember TheCthulhu/@CthulhuSec? guy who made a name for himself hosting various data dumps (fraternal order of police, turkish police, linkedin hack)

turns out he was the "dread pirate roberts" on silk road 2
also he was into child porn and planned on selling it

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/9kx59a/silk-road-2-founder-dread-pirate-roberts-2-caught-jailed-for-5-years

the surprising part to me is that he got arrested pretty early on and most of the things he is known for are things he did while on police bail

what a real shocker. he was a creep on some irc channels i was in

did I read the article wrong or did he, err, generate some pictures too?

well, considering he wanted to set up a CAI paysite, doesn't really matter, does it now

and he pretty much got owned by KYC/AML alike laws, always nice to see these work

yeah, blake benthal, he was involved but only dipped his toes in, and pulled in a fed literally as his first hire, he did just about nothing and that's why he got like 6 months public service while frosty rossy got life twice and this new guy apparently got at least five years

the law about 'making' is worded in a pretty vague way with lots of leeway for interpretation. it doesn't necessarily refer to taking a new photograph or video

yes, the "possession" and "making" offences come from two different laws but "making by saving" is supposed to be treated the same as possession for sentencing purposes if there isn't anything else going on (like actual production or distribution)

well, all highly technical and all, but i think he'll have enough on his plate already, if he was planning to make a paysite

this guy founded Silk Road 2 but transferred ownership to Blake 2-3 months in - we know this for sure because one of the mods already on the staff at that point was FBI and had chatlogs lol

Blake got arrested like 9 months later, and apparently they got this guy around the same time but the trial took forever and wasn’t resolved til recently

Since it said "could", I'd assume this might be a case of logs including the websites for auto-fill requests from browser extensions. I'm willing to hope they're not dumb enough to not encrypt the whole database itself.

Yeah, that’s how I read it as well. They’re logging what sites are making the requests (which would piss me off as well).

I would think if you were pushing “secure your passwords”, the helper app would only pull directly from the local vault secured by your master key. If it’s a cloud based solution (like 1password), there’s really no need for the provider to do anything other than facilitate the transport and syncing of the vault to the local copy. The cloud vault is used for replication between different client apps (reconciliation should be handled by the client side apps). This is probably naive of me.

lastpass had the ability to unlock your vaults without your key circa 2014

yeah it'd be flagged like any other online chats, but i'm vaguely recalling wow being explicitly mentioned as a data source in past intel leaks

obviously that's down to identifying target groups elsewhere, seeing where they also happen to group together at, and hoping they'll overshare in whatever environment they feel relaxed in

it doesn't really matter if you all like discussing things in a pub or playing a videogame, if someone wants to know the details they'll put the effort in
