So many technically smart criminals being busted by just not having OPSEC. Dude did the technical theft and left his IP wide open. Get behind seven proxies.
What a fucking moron. Like DoorDash isn’t going to notice this shit?
I don’t think doordash lets you use a VPN.
Many platforms that deal with finance would reject an order when they detect VPNs or Tor (since that’s what fraudsters and scammers use), or they ask for additional verification (like SMS) to verify you are in fact the account holder. So they probably were just using their real IP address.
Well in this case a proxy isn’t a VPN, but an intermediate the criminal has taken control of. A proxy does not have to be legitimate.
True, but again, you’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t see anything about proxies anywhere.
Where did you see that? I didn’t see anything in the article or in the linked indictment article.
It’s an assumption
Did he really just leave his IP wide open? Or did they somehow manage to get through his seven proxies to find him?
I know I’m being paranoid. What I don’t know is if I’m being paranoid enough.
Or you could just not rip off DoorDash for 2.5mil
I’m not here to help you commit fraud.
Not sure you can defraud a criminal organization.
I mean, it is fraud, but I didn’t see nothin’ 😏
Of course you can.
Pro tip if you’re going to rob a bank don’t use your car as the getaway car.
Ok but what if I take it through the Pay-N-Spray after
Why would you pay for paint when GTA is free?
do you have any more bank robbing tips, asking for a friend
Bicycles don’t have license plates 😉
Reddit had an AMA with a Bank Robber ten years ago that they’ve since deleted for corpo purity reasons 😂
Here’s the big points from it:
He eventually got caught because of the money he had, not because his face was on every security camera.
He recommends not doing this, as do I, as it’s just not worth it.
But just in case you wanted to know how it was done a decade ago, fuck Reddit, here’s the details they recently deleted.
It is generally advisable to not get caught.
i’d go with 8 proxies and a dial up modem on one end just to be safe.

Moot point, as DoorDash driver accounts require a verified driver’s license, comprehensive background check, and a valid bank account set up to deposit payment (though after setting up a direct deposit bank account, you can add alternative cash out options). Haven’t used DoorDash in a while, but UberEats started requiring facial recognition on top of all that, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that were in the DoorDash driver app, too. Hiding IP would do quite literally nothing in this scenario, as you can’t create an account anonymously. Counterfeit IDs would not work as they are verified against state records. Oh, and yet another step, you have to provide proof of auto insurance, which is yet another connection to your identity.
