Silk Road forums

Buy a test kit and see what it tests positive for.

If your coins are in escrow you will have a pretty strong case if you end up in resolution based upon what you have posted.

Have you finalized the order? also have you contacted the vendor to see what they have to say?

Would you like me to move this thread to rumor mill now? or perhaps you would prefer to create a new thread there?

No one has been hacked, anyone whose account that has been compromised was phished.

If there was some "super smart hacker" getting into peoples accounts there would be some vendors out there screaming about the 200 btc stolen from their accounts.

The most common way this is happening at the moment is by people accessing Atlantis via a phishing link then opening an account using the same credentials as their SR account, you would not believe how many people have done this.

There are other methods the phishers use, another recent scam propagated itself via a link that was pm'd to people claiming the sender had video footage of the recipient posting an order of drugs, anyone who clicked on the link ended up with a key logger on their computer and were soon relieved of their btc soon afterwards.

Nearly everyone who gets phished is always adamant that they couldn't possibly have been compromised, they are always wrong.

It sucks to get scammed, some common sense rules to stay safe include never ever click on a link posted on the forums; never download anything you are not 100% sure is safe; never use the same credentials for your SR account as any other (always use a complex and unique pass phrase and pin) and most importantly only ever access SR via the correct URL https://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to/

Follow those rules and you won't get scammed.

Could I ask, even if the link is put up by a respected member ? I honestly have clicked on a lot of links from here on the forum. Mostly just pics and vendor accounts, but now I wont click on nothing, so scary that virus what checks you passwords.

Even respected members get hacked, please remember the recent java exploit that was injected into peoples browsers took place by simply visiting a URL for a site hosted by Freedom Hosting. The best thing you can do is use some form of isolation to prevent exploits getting onto your computer, whonix, tails etc.
