Hey /r/darknetmarkets, I was wondering about the legality of erasing data on your computer. I have a dedicated computer for Dark Net use, and I have some pretty incriminating stuff on there.
I have a dead man switch installed, which is set to delete everything on the computer if I don't login every 24 hours. Is this okay from a legal standpoint? Could this be used against me if I am ever arrested? Finally, does this qualify as tampering with evidence? Thank you!
Haha Thats funny, because they'll trick you into thinking its evidence when its really not. How can they prove a wipe was just initiated without any data on the hard drive? They cant. This is one of the best methods out there.
Its a stale mate when there is no evidence to prove that evidence was wiped.
I must admit, the login every 24 hours sounds like a nice touch. I may have to get that one a whirl. You sound like you're on the right track down the deepweb.
Edit:
Im going to also add, I have my hard disks encrypted before I can even login as my user. Dual layer security is even better. GL getting in.
