I'm sure there's a report somewhere that outlines exactly how they did it.

But they wouldn't release that publicly.

Sad but true, I always wonder how they take down people behind TOR (mostly users fault) or take down onion domains. If you don't know where the server is how do you know what server to hack?

I know Darknet Diaries sometimes go over the various methods previously used to attack onion sites.

But also I personally don't care or get bothered by any of this so... Ehhh.

Have fun prosecuting them in EU and Scandinavia when they just admitted to doing that.
I see flags of Norway and Sweden on the shutdown banner, not sure how these countries were related - but if OP's are there, they should be safe.

They call themselves anonymous and they’re hackers on steroids

They blackmail known hackers to do the dirty work for them, that's how they do it.

Its the most guarded secret in this type of cases.
If how they did got "leaked" - the case would get dropped, I can allege that 99% of "takedowns" of malware infra and shit like that is done illegally.

There were rumors that AlphaBay (the first version of it) was taken down using illegal means and its owner epsteine'd in Thai prison - but who knows.

There are rumores that Flokinet was involved in SilkRoad with leaks donated and cooperation with Police.

Flokinet was surely involved in SilkRoad and some Italian marketplace fuckery(there are leaked documents of it).

There are RUMORS that Shinjiru is compromised as well, when Monopoly was going down, its admin signaled that not only he exit scammed but feds got in at the same time. Developer of marketplace known as Incognito confirmed that Shinjiru is likely compromised and that Monopoly was hosted there.

But who knows.

Could you send me the links to those leaked documents? I'm genuinely interested as a person who has some stuff with FlokiNET.

Few simple models available for speculation:

1. Good old infiltration;
2. Identifying any group members and corrupt them in exchange of X. In other words: get a snitch;
3. Set a bounty of few million dollars like for this dude: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/05/10m-is-yours-if-you-can-get-this-guy-to-leave-russia/

apologies for late upload, I totally forgot about it and had to search backups.

if you are looking for flokinet, search through "italian" docs.

also @seb1g, you also wanted em.

To moderators, my post does not break any laws(or forum rules), it has been disclosed long time ago, and is effectively a public property now. Many media outlets have reported on it as well. I claim no responsibility for those documents, they were disclosed under whistleblowing laws applicable in USA, 2 years ago.

Sure, defend Bill Cosby while you're at it. The guy is scum of the earth. You're already disrespecting your mother defending fuckface like him, but if you have sisters and still defend him, I hope your sisters cut you out of their lives, for you'd be the last one to call if they were raped or sexually fucked with like Assange did repeatedly.

When one is explaining why you're a terrible person, you lash out that they must be autistic, further driving the point home. It is you that needs professional help as you lack common sense or integrity.

It is you that needs professional help

As much as we shouldn’t use mental health as an argument, he kind of already ”admitted” to be taking dopamine blockers/antidepressants.

As long as he didn’t steal those, he’s probably seeing someone. If you’re worried, there’s likely no reason to be.

However, that’s not relevant. What’s relevant is one’s attitude - and even in this thread it’s clear that he’s not capable of being on a forum that’s not dedicated to hatred; that’s what’s important here.

And this is the obvious proof of someone who’s brain is so extremely wired to be the edgelord that Kiwi required it to be, that it repeatedly forgets that this is a forum about servers and not about hating people.

Also, kind of tunny how you accused me of not being good to you when I simply stated that you likely take medicine for what you accused me of, yet you’re here calling people ”fucking autists”. Why would your mental issues be of higher weight than those caused by someone’s alleged autism?

I find it impressive how you’re always defensive, agressive, the edgelord and the victim all at the same time. Quite the role you’re playing.
