Not entirely sure why the MGM Grand darknet market has Krebs On Security mentioned and linked at the bottom of their homepage, but there it is.

Maybe it was meant as a service to their buyers and sellers. They seem to really care about the security of their (drug) users. I can truly say I've never seen a crime site tell me it's freaking bonkers to go around with javascript enabled until now.
But hey, on the bright side -- if I ever wanted to start phishing MGM Grand vendors, it might not be that hard.

BTW you have to admire their payment options: All the credit card logos have slashes through them, as if at one time they were fine with taking MasterCard for a gram of heroin, but now they only take bitcoin.

@briankrebs strangely enough this indicates they do take bitcoin but not XMR which is a lot easier to tumble.

A few crime sites I've seen have JavaScript warnings. Having your site linked is probably a non-consensual appeal to authority. Recommend a cybersecurity journalist to give users the illusion that they take security seriously to overcome FUD. -
@briankrebs if you’re doing shady stuff, you want the best security advice you can get.

Okay, please ignore my tinfoil hat. People are saying this is a honeypot. You're really good at piecing together information about criminals. If those people are right and this site is actually run by the feds, wouldn't it benefit them if criminals visited your website? You said the information you used to narrow down the identity of that one crypto scammer became available when some website admin doxxed all the accounts associated with his cookie. I'm assuming you have admin privileges on your own website, obviously. You can see all of that, too, right? When someone connects to your website, you can see their external IP address, information about their browser (like their user agent and whatnot), etc., right? Do you think that maybe the feds are trying to make it easier for you to track these people? Or am I overthinking this?

@briankrebs It's been there for a bit, but looking at your other posts with some showing concerns of this being a phishing url is incorrect. You're using the correct link which comes from: http://ngemgrlhmdqi3zsgscjgjrbwpietxf3kbwjfzrarb4h6f3nimjsiu7yd.onion/
