1. Separating identities across channels
TorZon users are frequently warned not to reuse the same handles, avatars or contact details across markets, forums, messaging apps and clearnet platforms. Doing so creates obvious bridges for investigators.
2. Using PGP with messengers
Some communities layer PGP on top of end‑to‑end encrypted messengers, especially when sharing sensitive information. While this can add another layer of protection, it also increases complexity and the risk of user error.
3. Logging, backups and screenshots
Automatic chat backups, screenshots and synced photo galleries are common places where darknet‑related conversations resurface later during device forensics. Security‑minded users minimise or disable such features.
4. Emotional and incriminating language
Excited or angry messages often contain far more self‑incriminating detail than necessary. Many TorZon guides recommend sticking to neutral, minimal language and avoiding descriptions that can be tied back to real‑world events.
