Did I mess up? Using Gmail tied to my real info. : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets

Google wouldn't go out of their way to report it but it's definitely out there now. How did the site know it was an alt account? Did you say any info linking it to your main account?

It's definitely a fuck up but here's the thing. I don't think google would just send the information unless it was asked for, but in my opinion they wouldn't even have to. The intelligence agencies are so powerful, privacy of any kind is almost a thing of the past.

So even if you are under active investigation right now or will be under active investigation in the future I don't think that particular e-mail will be the piece of information that busts you. It will more than likely be multiple small pieces of information that collect over time, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, being tied to a group that gets busted. That kind of thing. Never know. I am not sure how they deal with carders, but IMO their philosophy for most of this stuff is give them room to roam around and they won't complain about the cage they are in.

man about to go down the same road as Ross Ulbricht thought we taught u better

If its banned that means you're account is still on the website because it is not deleted.

You should delete your gmail and commit to another gmail account. Really hope your gmail didnt have your personal name in it.

Honestly I know that I can't speak for google and what they do. There are several leaks within the whole organization as a whole. I have read information all over the news stating that email users have had their accounts leaked and hacked. I would say that using google right now as a whole is like meddling with a sleeping bear. Use proton mail. You can make an account without having to use a phone or email to verify your account. Also proton mail was made in Switz. and they are knee high in good opsec. Not once has our nation ever gone to war with them and they are all about that money. I would trust that platform.

The problem is not google but the probability of le taking down the forum. Then your info will be there and it will be tied to the your other account as well.

I love when a post starts off with "I know I'm an idiot"

As someone above suggested, start a new Gmail account.
Since we are on topic, is there a way to send totally anonymous and untraceable mails? Is Elude, mail2tor or secmail the best solution?

Google likely won't give out the information just for this, their last goal is to clog up LE's workflow for small issues like this, if however the site is linked to any major issues later down the line then it may come up. I'd just move on and maybe consider deleting the Email account as a whole, removing any phone number associated is a first step.
