This research identifies where pitfalls lie in the behavior of carders and in the technologies they use. By doing this, we create a better insight into the operational security of online criminals. We expose potential weaknesses in the operational security of users of cryptomarkets. This can lead to new insights for academia and help law enforcement in determining how to approach investigations.
