#dusting

2025-12-31

We started a new year December 22, with a new trip 'round the sun.
But for those who celebrate, we're givin' you a dusting of snow for "New Year's" in New York City, just in time for the countdown. (I can hear them cheer from my apartment.)

A few rows of hourly weather forecast, cloudy. But the last available row is 11pm and calls for snow. The date, Dec 31, is highlighted in red.

@Hufnagel soweit ich weiß hat @glsbank gekündigt, und die sind daher am ehesten eine Erklärung schuldig, derer sich aktiv verweigert wird.[¹]

  • Wäre die Kündigung aufgrund einer behördlichen Anordnung (ob @BaFin, @bmf, @Bundesregierung oder wer auch immer) würden die das sicherlich zugeben und auf nen Aktenzeichen o.ä. verweisen.[²]

Dem ist aber nach meinem Wissen nicht der Fall.

"Parallele Beweiskonstruktion" durch inkrimierte Geldtransfers funktioniert nicht in #Deutschland, weil #AML / #CTF - Systeme entsprechende Transfers zurückhalten und nur dann Kontoinhaber/-Bevollmächtigte verdächtigt werden wenn diese durch z.B. Nachfrage konkludierend beweisen dass diese Mittäter*innen sind.

  • Sonst würden sog."#Dusting"-Attacken[⁴] (vgl. #TornadoCash)[⁴] ständig Chaos verursachen oder gar als Protestform gegen unliebsame Individuuen und besonders Unternehmen missbraucht werden!

Wäre dies eine behördliche Anordnung würden #BaFin & #BKA (genauer deren #FinCEN) nicht einfach #Briefe schreiben sondern hätten bei Meldung wegen "#Geldwäsche" und/oder "#Terrorismusfinanzierung" bereits die Türen von @RoteHilfe & Co. eingetreten weil jede*r Richter*in das instant genemigt bzw. die zur 'Verhinderung von Beweisvernichtung' das notfalls rückwirkend genemigen können (Siehe *"#Antiterrorpaket" aka. #Entrechtungspaket)…

  • Bei der #NPD (oder wie auchimmer die sich nennen) wurde ja sogar nen juristischer Präzedenzfall geschaffen dass dieser [wenn auch bei #Sparkasse als Grundversorger] ein #Konto zu eröffnen sei, solange diese nicht verboten sei, Straftaten gegen die Bank bzw. deren Angestellte und/oder mit dem Konto (Geldwäsche, Terrorismusfinanzierung, …) begeht.

Und ich bin mir sehr sicher dass #RoteHilfe & Co. eben nicht so dumm sind irgendwie dies getan zu haben!

@molly0xfff and even if said Person/Company disliked the reporting, unless they're doing #Monero it would be trivial to search and find said details, espechally since they're not some smol retail investor nor darknet drug lord, so yeah...

@adorfer @bjoern @ustralien wie bei #Kreditkarten, #PayPal und sogar Kryptowährungs-Zahlungsdienstleister wird's auch bei #wero ne "#AntiFraudEngine" geben die automatisch Zahlungen klassifiziert und sortiert.

  • Sodass bspw. Privatkunden-Accounts bei vielen unterschiedlichen, eingehenden Transfers gesperrt bzw. Eingänge festgehalten werden.

Deshalb funktioniert "#Dusting" mit #Bankkonten (vgl. #TornadoCash) nicht:

  • Selbst wenn jemensch meine IBAN hätte und mir dreckiges Geld überweisen würde käme dies dort wohl nie an und würde eher konfisziert...

Das wird wie gesagt bereits seit langem überall gemacht.

Es wird schob jetzt jede Interaktion gewertet und in Echtzeit entschieden ob und unter welchen Bedingungen eine Transakion akzeptiert wird.

  • Sei es kontaktlos oder Chip, sei es Cip+PIN verpflichted.

Getting random small amounts of crypto in your wallet?

It’s likely a dusting attack, not free money. The best thing you can do is just leave it alone. We explain why here: auriccrypto.com/articles/scams

Why I don't use any #Cryptocurrency and espechally not #NFTs:

#SmartContract-based #Malware is rampant and not only are there no repercussions for #dusting attacks but even the #OFAC had to address this problem because #tainting #wallets with #TornadoCash is just absurdly rampant.

@howelloneill @agreenberg Considering the way #AML works and the fact that all #EVM-based and compatible #Blockchain|s in fact are fully transparent, it's trivial to just #DenyList / #Blocklist wallets that interacted with it.

Tho at this point in time I consider the latter one as foreseeable consequence.

@vantablack you got #Monero, too?

Cuz y' know, "#dusting" with #Shitcoins is a thing...

And yes, that is so rampant the OFAC had to write an FAQ about it...

THANK YOU SNOW SQUALLS!:

It's been a #dry start to the #winter season in the #Northland, especially for #snow.

That changed Sunday with several snow #squalls and #lakeeffect #showers passing through.

Several areas got a couple inches of #accumulation, with nearly everyone getting at least a #dusting.

The snow was followed by cold #temperatures that feel more like the season.

@tante But then again the only purpose for #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin :bitcoin: and #Ethereum is to taint wallets with "#dusting" attacks, thus basically preventing people from using their accounts.
youtube.com/watch?v=x7gaqhF-wr

Cuz unlike #Monero :monero: , there is no #privacy on #USDT, #USDC or any other #coin - regardless if #stablecoin or shitcoin, nor is there some confirmation/denial/widtholding process like an actual bank...

@selzero People who shill #Shitcoins and have a #eth name on their profile are unbearably #cringe.

Needless to say that in the age of #dusting, this level of blatant self-doxxing will bite them in the rear more than anything...

Seriously, who in their right mind still shills for #Ethereum, #Bitcoin :bitcoin: or any other #Shitcoin in the era of #Monero :monero: is beyond me.

@greyarea @silverpill Also one wants that shit to actually work like cash and not beholden to some centralization.

I.e. all those #Stablecoin-#Scams being able to delete funds from specific wallets due to "#sanctions" as well as the whole "#dusting" attack vector on #Ethereum (and #Bitcoin :bitcoin: ) using tainted coins and wallets which are the equivalent of getting a monkey to throw feces at someone's face.

@sollee more specifically it allows to basically (D)DoS publicly known wallets with tainted coins (.i.e #TornadoCash) which is known as #dusting...
