Someone is shaking down Agora - demanding 50 btc or addresses will be dumped

Forum thread:

http://i4rx33ibdndtqayh.onion/index.php/topic,4003.0/topicseen.html

agora:

Send 50 bitcoin to this address: 1GNxbDLQFNZ3X1vPjFwf2tKfdGdwNPRamh in 24 hours or I will go to the FBI with the addresses of hundreds of your site's users.

I have several vendor passwords (its best I do not tell you all of them, but give you one that I don't care about). Here is one of them: RefreshYourself - cocacola

From his login, I collected many of his user's information, such as:

<8 names and addresses leaked - REMOVED>

I also have individual buyers login, such as: BigDick - <removed>

I also have detailed stats on users such as: <address removed>

Your past and current orders: Vendor Product Date(UTC) Escrow Status
Trip_Advisor 1x custom 26 hits 2014-02-27 04:.. 0.00000000 BTC Finalized Details... PureFireMeds 1x 28g of Golden Teacher Shrooms (1 Oz) Psilocybe Cubensis 2014-02-27 03:.. 0.28447668 BTC Open, Pending Details... Trip_Advisor 1x 1LB Any Strain - Free Priority Shipping 2014-02-04 08:.. 0.00000000 BTC Finalized Details... allchem 1x Sample giveaway 2014-02-04 06:.. 0.00000000 BTC Finalized Details...

Pay the money or I go to the FBI. I will not be checking this account's messages again. So if I don't receive the 50 bitcoin in 24 hours, I will just assume you are not cooperating and release the information.

lol. heres agora's official response! i dont make fuckin deals with terrorist and a big middle finger up urs..
from agora administrator

URGENT URGENT!
We shall give you your money! We have put them into the Agora market account "veryscare". We're sure we don't have to tell you the password, since you know all the passwords anyways! Just withdraw the coins from it!

This shit is getting so old. So. Fucking. Old.

Ring Ring...FBI here, what can I do for you?

-Yeah man, I got a bunch of addresses. People ordering drugs on the internet!

Um...ok...how did you get these?

-I'm an anonymous hacker guy trying to extort people.

Well, you sound very credible. Just send us an excel file of addresses you anonymously claim bought drugs and we'll send out the van.

-So dey gonna get burned bad huh? Like 20 years minimum?

Oh my yes. An anonymously sent list of addresses of weedheads is our top priority.

Hopefully they're not stupid enough to give into the demands. You can't trust anyone who'd do a shakedown ... of course that's easy for me to say. I don't order anything. My account is there purely to study the culture.


[4 Points] RefreshYourselfSR:

I was told my account got breached on here.

1st, i didnt even know this place existed.

2nd, Why do you guys keep my password up there for everyone to see!?


[2 Points] obsidianchao:

Glad I didn't use Agora...


[4 Points] None:

Seriously, this shit is getting old. It's certainly whyusheep at it again.


[2 Points] Sanitarium-Market:

Guys need to be patient. It is likely that the blackmailers actually control every single account that they say they are releasing. So even if there attack was worthless, it would seem that they have actual data because they control those accounts.


[2 Points] we1kmhv:

From what I can tell, just weak passwords. Nothing wrong with Agora itself. Still the most trustworthy market for me with a huge list of vendors. Also their response is just hilarious: http://i4rx33ibdndtqayh.onion/index.php/topic,4003.msg40482.html#msg40482

But hopefully things like this will at least teach people to be more responsible with passwords and use PGP for addresses.

Can the admins confirm it's legit info? Or is it just whyusheep at it again. The other day I chatted with some guy who had a similar writing style as the op on the agora thread supposedly selling 520k records of the MtGox database but wouldn't show me any sample records as proof. He wanted similar large amounts of bitcoins in the 10-100 BTC range. I can post his messages here if anyone is interested.


[1 Points] 13tom13:

release address's that wouldn't be possible unless they didn't use pgp correct?


[1 Points] Cryptofucker2:

Well even if this was true, it is only due to poor opsecs of users, not like he hacked anything. He just guessed a stupid password like "cocacola"

The deadline will expire while I'm asleep then. Wonder whether the world will end while I'm in bed..

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Please ignore "RefreshYourselfSR" he is an imposter.

We are the real RefreshYourself team.

Our Agora and Silkroad passwords have been changed and we no longer have access to our accounts. We are still waiting to hear back from Agora & SR admins on how to regain access ( We still have access to our forum accounts on Agora & SR ).

We still have full access to our Pandora & The Market Place accounts so if you would like to order, please place it on those sites for now.

Once we have regained access to our Agora & SR accounts i will post here with another signed message. Please do not order from us until we have regained access.

If you currently have a unsent order with us on SR or Agora this will be shipped once we regain access.

I have signed this message with our PGP key which can be checked against http://directory4iisquf.onion/key/f9835ef4

Thanks
