Internet security/be safe.
If your growing and not in a medical state personally i wouldnt post it period. OK, here is my personal experiance. I was a heavy poster and so called teacher of a computer hacking site which is very much illegal. The owner of the site stressed we were safe cuz his server was overseas (not the case). The site was busted big time and the owner was an attorny that i spoke to many times and he was a great guy but if LEO is threatening you with many years of prison and you have a family and sitting in jail any of us would probably roll to save prison time. He finally made a Plea bargain that if he turned over all records and server he would get probation and a 3,000 dollar fine and after 6 months of LE haveing said server records i was notified by mail with a scary letter telling me to call this number to avoid further actions. If you ever get a letter thats not certified DO NOT RESPOND!!!! If you respond it shows them that you might have done something illegal. All those who responded got certified letters pertaining to there court dates. Luckily i was online looking for info on this bust and i was warned about the scare letter and not to respond to avoid further actions, i was lucky. What i done carries a maximum penalty of 5 years and a 40,000. dollar fine and i can tell you i was very worried. This is over now because of the amount of time lapsed with me holding my breath every time i checked the mail. Most who were convicted plea bargained as well and for the most part got probation, a hefty fine, big attny fees and a spot on there record. I know what i was doing and this site are totally diferant but i wanted to stress to never respond to an un-certified letter, for some reason they take this as guilt. Another good practise is never use a c.c. or paypal to buy anything remotely illegal and send it to someone elses house under an alias name if you do send cash or a money order. Paypal will turn over any thing LEO wants and trust me on this one. People who purchased illegal hacking equipment with paypal found out they turned over all records on everyone involved to make LEO's case stronger. I hate P.P. to this date. If your really concerned google a good proxy and you can hide very well behind it but it does slow your internet speed down substantially. I enjoy hacking very much and i never hacked into private peoples info or messed up computers or did hateful crimes but i will not admit to what i really was doing to protect myself. You can post all the info you want relatively safe from hassle because you do have rights but stay away from incriminateing yourself on any forums. Trust me i will not make the same mistakes twice to protect myself. 2 words ( Be Safe ) :)
