Did you know that some police dogs are trained to sniff out hard drives, thumb drives and other tech gadgets? Well, most people dont. Keep reading to learn OpSec tips that you probably havent heard before.

PRINT SHIPPING LABELS JUST BEFORE DROPPING OFF PACKAGES

This is one ive only seen once or twice here on NSFW but that doesnt mean its not important. See, when LE has their eye on a vendor one method of identifying them is to stake out USPS drop boxes. First, they might place an order with you, then once you create the shipping label they will be able to see it. Theyll take the zip code used in your return address, stake out drop boxes in that area, and wait for you to pop up (like many vendors have done in their own car).

Now maybe youre thinking, "LE doesnt have the manpower to watch all of those drop boxes and there are wayyy too many people using them". First, the thing is they DO have the manpower and its been done many times before. They also do things like stuffing/closing drop boxes so youre forced to drop off packages in a different location. Second, there really arent that many people using all of those boxes. I know weve all been told that "people with those shitty etsy stores" dump tons of packages into those boxes. Sure, its true in some places but not nearly as true as you think.

STOP DROPPING OFF PACKAGES IN YOUR OWN CAR

or any form of tranportation that can be linked to your identity for that matter. LE might not be staking out that drop box youre at but they can review security footage from nearby cameras. Instead you can drive a good distance away from your home, park your car, and walk to the drop box.

WEAR A DISGUISE

when dropping off packages. Pretend your Jason Bourne or something. Wear a hat, glasses, baggy pants, long sleeve shirt, and a mask to hide your identity. And ONLY wear that disguise when youre dropping off packages.

STOP WALKING INTO THE POST OFFICE

Whether its to buy stamps, pick up boxes, or pick up/drop off packages you shouldnt be doing it. Those places are covered in cameras and you can do all of these thinigs elswehere. Not to mention they require ID to send a package. Way too many vendors get busted this way. Instead you can get yourself a label printer and print your own labels payed for with crypto. You can also pick up boxes/envelopes at your local office supply stores for FREE.

SOURCE SUPPLIES OFFLINE

Need baggies? Visit your local smoke shop. Need a vacuum sealer? Go to Wal-Mart. Dont be that guy who gets busted because he ordered all of his vending suplies off Amazon.

GLOVE UP

When youre packaging orders you should be wearing atleast 2 layers of gloves to prevent prints from being left on packages. In some cases, depending on what product you sell, residue on the glove might leave a more visible finger print. Gloves also tear so you dont want to finish packaging your orders for the day to then realize that your glove is torn and youve left fingerprints on all of your packages.

WEAR A HAIRNET WHEN PACKAGING ORDERS

Have you ever sat down to eat just to find a hair in your food? Disgusting, right? Well not to LE, they want all the hair they can get and they WILL use that hair against you. Wear a hairnet and long sleeve shirt or even better a coverall paint suit when packaging orders.

MIX UP YOUR ONLINE TIMES

Basically this means that you shoudlnt log into your vendor account at the same times every day. If youre being watched by LE and keep the same schedule it will be incriminating when they compare your online times to what youre doing in real life.

USE MONERO

Its all fine and dandy if youre being payed in bitcoin but you should be converting that coin to xmr before cashing out. If you dont have a method for cashing out monero then you can convert your BTC to XMR and back to BTC again. Be sure to send different amounts of money through the exchange at different times to avoid time correlation.

DESTROY PACKAGING MATERIAL

If you have scraps from shipping boxes or labels you should never throw them in your own garbage can. This has already burned a lot of vendors. Instead you should burn them or dump them in a garbage that isnt linked to you.

HONORABLE MENTIONS (weve all heard these but they cant be stressed enough)


LAWYER UP

If youre involved in illegal activity you should find yourself a reputable defense. Lets say shit hits the fan and you get busted and taken to jail, when youre locked up youre not going to have the resources to find someone to defend you. Set aside some cash and make a few phone calls, youll be happy you did.

TAKE NOTES

You guys know those posts i make about darknet busts? Yeah? Well read them, and take notes! Many of those posts include good information like how investigations were started and how LE surveilled its suspects. You should be reading through these and taking notes on what TO do and more importantly, what NOT to do. I mean, cmon, its FREE!

DONT SHIT WHERE YOU EAT

Have you ever read about a vendor bust where LE didnt find a ton of drugs in the vendors home? Yeah, me neither. Your drugs and supplies should never be stored in your own home. Run your operation at a different location. And if you think your going to hide those drugs in a fake Mountain Dew bottle youre wrong, LE will find them. And they have dogs that are trained to sniff out tech gadgets too so make sure that thumb drive is in a safe place.
