Just click 'Report to Moderator' at the bottom right of each comment posted with names and addresses and it will come to the Mods attention a lot quicker ;)

What an asshole.

I have noticed this too, obviously, since every thread has them added on the end. Pretty comprehensive spamming. We need to know what's going on. A few thoughts:

         if this was a vendor going rogue and blackmailing or whatever, it should be fairly easy to narrow down who. Whose customers are these?

        if someone has hacked SR, I don't know, it just doesn't seem to fit.

My personal theory (and this is five minutes after seeing them) is that these are made up personal details which someone is spamming to inspire fear and mistrust,

         It seems that it would be a lot easier to spam forums with bullshit addys than it would be to hack address transmission system (presumably the second most secure bit of SR (the first being the bitcoins!)). Plus if you had this kind of info you could do much more useful stuff than spam forums with it
Eg: blackmail people by PM.
      it would be helpful if someone could say "yes my names on that list" but it seems unlikely they would. (They could create a shill to do so, but this would render their confirmation worthless)

         I suspect a FUD attack from either LE or a competitor.

Phising an old vendor account would not show addresses. Any pending order would have been canceled by the buyer by then.

good point.  so are we thinking rogue vendor?  some look like they're from private messages though, which would explain how a phisher could get the info.  (don't forget to USE PGP!!!!!!)

Assuming that info was taken from a phished or hacked vendor account, it's a stark reminder to always encrypt your address.
Title: Re: URGENT - someone posting personal info

FYI, that info is from last year. There's a good chance that the vendor and most of the buyers aren't around anymore.

Encryption isn't going to help if a vender goes rogue, I mean, what if they just keep every address they've sent to written down or saved somewhere? There's a certain degree of trust that we as buyers must give to vendors, but at the end of the day, if they want to be shitheads, they can...

Agreed. Always use PGP!
Unfortunately if it's a vendor who saved addresses, then it wouldn't have helped.  Some of the addresses look pretty real.

Yeah, that's why I said assuming it was taken from a phished account. But you're right, a vendor could do this on top of the traditional exit scam, and in that case, it could be much worse if they collect hundreds of addresses over a long time period.

Hi SR´s!!

Wow, that´s a serious impact!!

It seems these adresses are real, could sb confirm this (of course not name but street, region,...)?
Maybe sb got access to an old pc off a vendor (some names are listed 2-3 times)?
Or sb hacked pieces of privnote?
That would be really alarming!
Could it be, that sb hacked the data transfer of SR, when sending clear delivery-info?
Could it be sb who runs an exit-node of TOR?

I´m really interested, what´s turning out on that story!

@ all (DEALER!! and customer): learn PGP!!!!!!!

CAN´T BELIEVE, THAT SOME VENDORS STILL DON´T USE PGP (but privnote); IT SHOULD BE A MUST WHEN CREATING A VENDOR-ACCOUNT!!!

Privnote is encrypted and claims that the contents are destroyed once clicked.
All data being transferred on a hidden service like Silk Road in encrypted.
When you are on a hidden service you do not even use an exit node.  No data leaves the TOR network.

You know, it is entirely possible that infowars is the Privnote admin. I think that's extremely unlikely. Privnote seems legit, but you never know when it might go rogue. This is why PGP encrypting your address on your own computer is the only acceptable way to transmit your address to a vendor.

I'm playing catch up here, how is this being linked to Privnote?

We had this issue not long ago remember, same mass posting of what would appear to be buyers info, they seem to have the ability to post faster than any human I've ever met though, the second account 'info wars' racked up 87 posts in the blink of an eye before I deleted their account, not sure how that could be possible.

He isn't linked to Privnote. I'm just saying, people who post their addresses on Privnote are exposing themselves to that threat. It's a third party site. You don't know who runs it or if they are trustworthy. They could be the next assholes to post addresses all over the forum.

I wish i would of seen it just to see if my own info was on it.. Iv never pissed off any vendors or anything though so i dont know how it could be, I have a OUTSTANDING REP with every vendor i have bought from.

And only a few friends are on here that i know IRL .. Kinda makes u P NOID! that vendors can sell address's but really what can that get someone? So what u have someone addy? o r think they do,


Other than them using as return addys for the vendors to use, Isnt that bout all they can use thm for?

It would surely be the dumbest mistake in the world if someone were to ever Invade my house to rob me, Iv got Cams set up front an back doors, Not to mention Built in gun cabnets full of rifles n shot guns! SOMEONE WOULD HAVE A HOT HOT DAY!!! LOL

Yah - I don't think its related to Privnote probably that was just someone's thoughts on how this user could have gotten other users info and started posting...

Dunno though. This seems very strange and like it might be a big problem if this user is using an automated system to spam the forums....Its bizarre for sure.

I should have qualified my statements more clearly, I meant it reminded me of the same buyer info dump that happened, not necessarily that it was linked to that vendor, we never really got to the bottom of this issue anyway and I do not think it would be helpful to draw any comparisons between the two. We have no preamble this time, no warnings or context just the alleged buyer info.

Maybe since the person keeps posting the same addresses over and over again you can set the forum to change anyone who uses the street name to something else and autocorrect the zip code to be all 0000's. I believe there is a way to default change written info on web forums. Just a thought. Might need an admin to do it though.

I believe it to be a representative from a competing site who approaches vendors looking to buy their customer lists. Most vendors I'm guessing tell him to screw off. But some, it looks like usually smaller volume vendors, might be selling the lists. Possibly especially if they are no longer vendors. The idea of posting the info is to cause unrest amongst SR customers. To make them think SR is somehow unsecure and that there is a better, more secure market available. Except that is not true. This type of thing could happen at any marketplace.

Like Jack said, infowars is not the same person as Whistleblowers.  infowars is a troll and spammer, Whistleblowers is another account of edar/joolz/etc. 

Also, infowars has only posted two different lists of names/addresses even though he spams almost every day.

Mods are having a hell of a time keeping a couple of characters from making new accounts and posting what appears to be plaintext location info from SR buyers.
This is suspected but not confirmed to be a FUD move against SR and to drive traffic to other marketplaces.

I think someone said earlier they Googled a few of the names & addresses & found out they were pulled from other sites. I'm skeptical that these are names of actual SR users.

They are on another website that has supposed Silk Road customer's addresses and order information posted to it but it has been deleted.  You can see all of the same addresses on that website using Google though.  For an example, click the link below.

Thanks astor, I kinda of figured but not for sure.

Also, only gave each of the combinations to specific vendors.  So when a name that was not given to a particular vendor but in fact showed up at one of my addys from that vendor I knew there was a problem(huge). I am in NO WAY a fan of the joolz conspiracy but I have sat on this for a long time wondering, how the fuck could this vendor have a name that I never gave them but used it with another vendor to a different adds show up with a used name to a new location??? ??? And NO I did not confuse who I gave what to. It is a simple formula to follow that insures the info is never mixed.

On another note, would it really change anything by using pgp or another type of encryption if it were in fact a vendor selling,posting or whatever? Once it is decrypted for shipping, viola they have it now in plain text to be transferred. Unless I am missing something. Again, it's only if it's a vendor I don't see the protection.

So has DPR said anything related to this matter?

I have two main questions:

1) Was this real?
2) Can it be prevented (because this is threatening to everything we are doing)

Nope, PGP doesn't protect you from a rogue vendor. If you take the proper security precautions (buying bitcoins anonymously, encrypting your address), there two unavoidable points where you must trust other people: you trust that the SR admins won't steal your money, and you trust that the vendor will handle your shipping info carefully.

But if these are addresses harvested from one of the vendors that fell for one of the phishing attacks (and there were a few vendors who did), then PGP would most certainly assist.

that's true too.  there's really no reason to send personal info unencrypted to vendors.  some seem to say they "don't do PGP" - in which case, find a competitor who does!  :D

It can't be that.  There was addresses and tracking numbers.  The address is deleted once an order has shipped to a phisher wouldn't have the address and tracking number for that order.

About one year ago, there was a vendor named Happytime.  This vendor offered free samples of coke, x, herb, and heroin.  They offered over 100 samples of each.  A TON of SR users sent their info, no one got any product. 

Any chance the addresses came from a scam like this?  No one ever figured out exactly what this Happytime dude was doing.  Just a thought to ponder...

well there again remains the issue about the tracking info. Happytimes did not ship anything therefore he had no tracking info and also that vendor had charged them .01 btc and threatened them all to FE and everybody did I think and so all those .01's added up buy I don't know if they added up to the 130 dollar vendor fee that it was back then I think if it was that long ago. Surely it didn't amount to 500 bucks

+1 - Damn Astor - how do you remember all of this shit?  It "could" be that guy, but he sort of sounds like a troll.  I'm not sure what good a name and address would be unless it was for blackmail or LE.  Like others in that thread mentioned, you could just as easily use a phone book. 

Good recall memory though - I'm impressed (if you have a search tip, by all means share)

I am starting to believe more and more joolz.  Especially with all the threats going around. Forum members threatening other members to show respect because they believe they are better because they move more weight.  Real nice Silk Road attitude that is, so it doesn't surprise me now to think of the other possibilities.

No one should ever be handing over their personal details to some new vendor offering free samples, that is just asking for trouble.

Get yourself set up with some safe drops, I would NEVER be sending anyone my home address.

Sound advice, more should pay attention to it. Free samples are generally no indication of what your order will be like anyway, I mean who is going to send out rubbish free samples? the old bait and switch has caught many I'm sure.

Some people around here like to post what they just ordered or are about to order.  Sometime what they're waiting on.
Not a good idea if you use that account for free samples, etc... if this is data mining, and it probably is, they can see you're waiting for a shipment of something and many times the name of the vendor you ordered from. So you've already given them your address... easy warrant right there.

I bet the VAST majority of buyers DO send their home address regardless, just because it's the simplest option, and it seems so liberating to have quality illegal drugs delivered to your house, by an unsuspecting postman.  ;)

Your probably right about this, but also look how many of the big name vendors (volume of trans) actually tell the customers to use their home address and their real name.:o  It has always amazed me when, if your read and learn before you order this is the most dangerous position for a buyer to put themselves in.  Go figure?  ???

What part of the statement "WE CANNOT HELP YOU VIA THE FORUMS" is not getting through to you?

I love the way you interpret a lack of response as there being no one around, great insight you have going on there joolz, and here is a another perspective for you to consider, your trolling is just being ignored  ???

You can only tell someone something so many times before you give it up as a lost cause and I'm afraid to say joolz you are such a case. You seem incapable or unwilling to take on board information and believe you me I have tried.

This is the last response you will be getting from me on anything you post for a while, do us both a favor, please stop trolling  :-X
