{Security} Do vendors take more measures on computer security to remain anonymous than buyers ?

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago , if lets say for example, Is it more important for a vendor to use tails than a buyer and if so why ? Is it more important for a vendor to use public hifi spot rather than a buyer and if so why ?

Would you think of any other reasons why a vendor should be more careful when accessing his account on the dnm more than a buyer , when it comes to computer encryption?.

P.s : the package story is out of this question ..

Haven't you read about the QUSA bust? That's why vendors take it seriously. But I do believe everyone should take OPSEC seriously, regardless if you are buying or vending. Stay safe out there!

There are more than a few vendors with shit-poor NETSEC. Just because you should take something seriously doesn't mean you will, and unfortunately complacency is usually a one-way road.

My team takes security very seriously. For example, we deliver encrypted packing instructions to our shipping department using a proprietary process we're planning to license to other vendors in the future.

We pay a bird named Hambone to handle the web-based component of our operation. He's secretive, but I believe he runs Tails on a touch-screen device adapted to interpret his pecking and scratching as input. He (simply) pops on once a day and, using a complex array of vocalizations, relays DarkNet orders to his assistant, Tito (not a bird), who writes them out on a (generic) etch-a-sketch.

Tito's friend, Robert, is a bike messenger. Robert waits outside Tito's window, but the moment Tito tosses the etch-a-sketch out, he's gone. He bikes to a spot between two bridges where he tosses it into the window of a waiting car. Alfred (the driver) then delivers the device directly to Walter who brings it to John at the hotel. Sometimes, due to all the movement, the etch-a-sketch gets partially (or completely) erased. But 60% of the time, it works every time.
