Since when is leaking databases and black mailing vendors acceptable, let alone encouraged...?

Lately /u/whyusheep has been up to some not so ok things. Now, you may not know this, but he is claiming to have hacked agora and now has (appearantly) a database with all unencrypted addresses. He has scared one vendor so bad, he may kill himself, as the vendor said himself. And yet, all I see is people, still giving him the benefit of the doubt! Giving him all the attention he wants, positive attention at that! Its like you don't even care anymore. Really!? Guys a thief, a lier, an extortionist, and one hell of a snitch. But yet, you ask him to upload the database? You ask him to leak it??? I mean shit, to me, doing that is just like going to LE with a huge contact book full of peoples info. Snitching. Its evil. Really.. fuck you whyusheep. If this kind of stuff is ok from here on, if we really lowered the morality bar to that level, then this dream is a loss.

He claimed he would leak in 24 hours... Its been well over 24 hours and nothing.

I offered him a small bounty if I sent him my agora username, he came up with some dumb shit like "oooo 20 bucks... so much money". The money wasn't the point, its backing up your claims.

But then he'll just come back with his "I don't need to prove shit to you" claims. I honestly think he's DoD/Coachella/HH

understatement

I think I see a developing theme here...

Its like you don't even care anymore.

I think this community, at its roots, cares a lot.

There are major pros and cons to all possible actions by sheep at this point.

For example, if he does leak the database, or even parts of, the community gains a thing to point at and say "THIS IS WHY YOU BETTER DAMN PGP ENCRYPT ALL YOUR MESSAGES!". I would view this as a long term positive.

He hasnt been up to shit. Just trolling and spreading misinformation. The only asset this guy possesses is loads and loads of free time to spread his bullshit over any and all forums he isnt banned from, yet. Actual threat level: zero.

Its a good thing because it exposes both weakness with the market itself, and highlights the potential consequences of not protecting yourself. Using different usernames, PGP, etc. That being said, revealing personal and potentially harmful info here will never be allowed. It is against Reddit rules and is the antithesis of the Dark Net.

Also, I don't really believe that someone is going to kill themselves. But if its true they really should not be a vendor.
