I managed to compromise one user's machine of underground commuity called "Alphabay" and intercepted their chat over jabber (Pidgin)...I know it's not legal but imo we have to use the same methods to conquer them. I never doxed his identification and not deanonymised him.

[Image] (0:40:28) Unverified conversation with the_rainmaker@exploit.im/The_Rainmaker started. Your client is not logging this conversation.
(0:40:32) SkrillGuide2015: How are you doin'?
(0:41:43) the_rainmaker@exploit.im: Good friend
(0:42:09) the_rainmaker@exploit.im: I start sell Philadelphia today friend
(0:42:27) the_rainmaker@exploit.im: Look if you have interest
(0:42:28) the_rainmaker@exploit.im: Description about Product:
Conquer your Independence with Philadelphia! Get an Advanced and Customisable Ransomware at a Lifetime License!
Philadelphia innovates the Ransomware Market by presenting several features that makes it possible to manage a very advanced Ransomware attack with a cheap maintenance price (it can even be zero)! It's also autonomous, with Autodetected Bitcoin Payments! Just spread and wait for the money to come ;-)
By buying Philadelphia, you'll receive an all-in-one software that will allow you to make unlimited builds.
Everything is customisable:
- You can set the folders where the Ransomware will look for files as well as the depth/recursion level
- You can set the extensions, you can enable, disable and define intervals for the deadline and the russian roulette (as well as editing how many files are deleted on every russian roulette interval and whether the files or the crypt key gets deleted once the deadline ends
- You can edit file icon and Mutex
- You can edit the UAC (user access control) in four available options: (1) do not ask for admin privilleges; (2) ask and insist until it is given; (3) ask but run anyway even if it is not given; (4) ask and give up if it is not given
- You can edit all the interface texts as well as add multiple languages to the same file (it will detect the machine language and display the texts you edited for that locale or a default/fallback one)
- You can enable or disable USB infect, network spread and Unkillable Process, as well as set the process name
The Philadelphia Headquarter is a software that works on your machine and allows you to generate unlimited builds, see the victims on a map and on a list (with country flags and all the data you need) and also a "Give Mercy" button if you're too good 0:)
But the coolest Philadelphia feature (and what makes its maintenance so cheap) is that, instead of huge servers on our controls where you must pay high amounts monthly, we present you the "Bridges". Bridges are the way victims and attacker enters in touch in a distributed network. It's simply a PHP script that uses itself as database (no MySQL or whatever needed, just PHP). Bridges store the clients keys, verifies payments and provide the victims informations to the headquarters safely. And they can be hosted on nearly any server: even hacked servers, shared hosting (free hosting works but it is not recommended as they can delete your account if it's not a fully functional website), dedicated or VPS (recommended for bigger attacks, although the requests are small and are only done a few times). As the bitcoin payment verification is done on the server side, by the bridge, there is no way to spoof it on the victim machine. Also, the distributed bridges network will grant a better anonimity.
Everything very well documented on a plain-english help file!

P.S
I checked myself the "store" of user @The_Ranimaker on Alphabay and seems like he is selling his ransomware only privately.
During my research I found that most of users of Stampado used to spread it thru email spams but mostly thru freelancing websites such as Freelancer.com, Upwork.com, peopleperhour.com, guru.com and etc. showing them as a legitimiate hiring managers they were forcing freelancer to execute their payload "just to see if it works on their machine" - they say. So, please everybody use only updated antiviruses/antimalwares...when you see some suspicious file check it on virustotal.com before executing...cyber-crooks can bypass antiviruses too, by crpyting and obfuscating their malicious codes so please be on the watch...I just don't want to you "all the members of this community" become victims of ransomware cuz it really hurts when you lose so many valuable files...Also, reading this conversation we can see that they are using strong exploit kits like Angler and Neutriono, so do not visit the websites you don't actually need to visit or those that you don't trust...and update all your softwares to patch existing vulnerabilities.
Stay safe.
