What about items from steam etc? The worst thing that can happen is a ban and I lose my stolen goods, right? I hope so atleast :)

OP you should check out this http://www.cybercrimelaw.net/Cybercrimelaws.html

Depending on which country your doing it in look up the laws of that country or better find a country with no law :D

If your going to use a VPN then probably best to use one with no logs, or infect someone elses pc and setup and series of proxys which have a terminate button :D

Ya man, I almost got life in prison for RATing. 😏

If you start messing with fraud, theft etc you will most likely get caught.

Look, its highly illegal to use a RAT. The punishment really relies of some things:
How much people do you have infected?
Is it someone in special(a well known person)
What was the purpose of it?

Those things really matter there are some more factors but I think those are the most common ones.

And Yes you can go to jail for it. Here in The Netherlands the highest jail time for it will be 3 years, I think if you live in the USA the punishment will be much higher!
So it really depends one what you are doing with it. If you are really scared for getting caught, just lower the chances by using a good VPN :)

Eh i probably won't go to jail or anything mainly just using this to fuck with my friends.

If you have to ask, I suggest you don't do it.

[Mommy‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎]

Yes you can go to jail.
If you are afraid of the consequences, do not do the actions.

[Bad Credit]

You said it best. Don't RAT if your afraid of the consequences behind doing it.

And if you do it.

Better safe than sorry is the #1 motto.

• Use a Virtual Machine.
  


• Use a VPN that keeps no logs.
  


• Don't use your real Paypal and preferably only use a Crypto-Currency like BTC.
  


• Use an alternate e-mail that isn't linked to any of your origninal ones.

In most countries, RATing by itsself is illegal, so if you have them RATed, it doesn't matter what you do (ofcourse it matters to some degree) but it's still illegal 🎉
