Be aware of your surroundings, idiots!

Today I was grocery shopping, and the grocery store I was at has a deli/salad bar/Chinese/etc and some tables to sit at.

While I was over in that area I could see someone on a laptop and recognized they were browsing this sub. I looked a few things and walked back by about five minutes later and could see he was on AlphaBay.

I assume he was using the free wifi, and I don't want to embarrass someone here if they're reading this and recognize it was them, but damn people- be aware of your surroundings if you browse DNM's in public.

If I can look and see what you're up to, a cop who is off duty or out of uniform can too. Or a sketchy thief. Or whatever.

Anyway, proper OPSEC should require you being aware of your surroundings. The more you know and all that.

Am I the only one that wants to keep the DNMs a secret? Why browse a website that has weapons, porn accounts, and heroin on it in public too? I fear if the DNMs become mainstream then post offices will up and use more security, vendors will be hunted down like terrorists, and this majestic delivery system will falter and die.

You should have moved in next to him and asked him some sketchy questions lol.

I let my roommates in on the secret and I don't regret it - cheaper weed for all of us! Will I ever vend? No.

You only need to worry if you're buying bulk or are a vendor. Plus, anyone using AlphaBay after all these scam reports, problems, etc. aren't the brightest to begin with ;)

SMH. If DEA/LE saw it he would've been busted - surveillance camera is everywhere. What a fool n' a tool..

So what?

Unless he was buying things, It's not illegal just to look at the markets. What this guy did wasn't even that bad i don't know why it would warrant a post...

Plus if he was using a free wifi there is a chance he was using a VPN.

There's nothing illegal about looking at DNM sites or this subreddit. I don't see what the problem is, aside from the fact that it may be a little bit inappropriate to look at pictures of drugs in public. It's not like a police officer could walk over and say "excuse me sir, I noticed you looking at this website, I need to hijack your computer for a minute to check your AlphaBay profile to see if you've placed any orders lately." You guys get so fucking paranoid sometimes...

Stop looking at my fucking laptop.

I would have sat where I could see his screen just to watch. That would be fun to watch.
Alone in a room in the corner as I type this.
In the corner. I can see the door.

Yea, I get your point here too man. The possibility is out there. But there's also the possibility that someone you've sold to has a power supply in the trunk of their car to power a computer as a server and use their phone's wifi locater to map out all the wireless routers in your location. Then find you in public and get the wifi locations that their phone has tried to pick up while they are out of their home and find out just where all they may have been including where you live. Then, instead of buying more shit off you, you start to notice your packages go missing. That's another way to rob someone of their mailed drug goods. Highly illegal either way you look at it, but it's possible. And creepy I know.

But back to using some free wifi to order your drugs. It just seems like a stupid idea. I mean, I have a windows phone that I've put Linux on and can actually see if someone is even looking to see if I'm using wifi, let alone what router it's on. And while traveling long distances for extended periods of time, yea I've ordered shit while eating my McDonalds in the parking lot and had it shipped to my hotel door. And it worked. Is it the best idea out there? By far no, but damnit it worked.
