Google Blocks World’s Largest Porn Torrent Tracker

Written by enigmax on December 07, 2008 

Visitors to the world’s largest adult BitTorrent tracker were met with a surprise this morning. According to Google and Firefox, users accessing Empornium.us are exposed to four trojan horses and three exploits. The malware doesn’t appear to be hosted by the site itself, but it is coming from outside sources.

Empornium.us is probably the world’s largest adult-material tracker. Indeed, at one stage it had over a million members which could elevate it to the position of world’s biggest private tracker, for any material. The site found itself in controversy in 2006 when an Israeli advertising company took over the site and kicked out many of the admins. For its part, Targetpoint denied the allegations, claiming one of its associates simply brokered the sale to an unknown third-party.

Today, users searching Google for Empornium.us are met with a warning under the URL: “This site may harm your computer”. After ignoring the warning and clicking the link using Internet Explorer, the Empornium main page starts loading, but is then punctuated with virus/malware/exploit warnings from an up-to-date anti-virus scanner. Google reports “Malicious software includes 4 trojans, 3 exploits. Successful infection resulted in an average of 11 new processes on the target machine.”

During our tests we caught malware or exploits which seemed to originate from:

hxxp://hardmoviesporno.com/test/exp/update1.pdf
hxxp://ffseik.com/25/2/getfile.php?f=vispdf

At this point we deemed the Google Safe Browsing report to be correct and abandoned our own tests. Accessing the Empornium homepage using Firefox3 caused an immediate halt:

EmporniumBlocked

Google notes that the ‘malicious software’ is actually hosted on 4 domains, including gianttopnano.cn, mmcounter.com, filmmultimediaonline.cn. Furthermore it states that two domains appear to be “functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site” including vxhost.cn, and filmmultimediaonline.cn.

TorrentFreak has contacted Empornium management for a comment, but so far there has been no response.

Update: Empornium Team contacted us, confirming that the malicious code has nothing to do with them and they are “taking action to shut down the infiltration & remove the code asap”. Their own tests so far show it is “exploiting a known & patched security hole in Acrobat”.

This is the usual BS.

I want to bet my right arm that I can visit the page using an updated version of IE and not get infected with anything.

My cache might get ‘infected’ with stuff malware-antivirus companies mark as a threat, but thats only to promote thier lame software.

“Malicious software includes 4 trojans, 3 exploits….. 11 new processes on the target machine.”

BS! The last 5 times I have visited sites which Google claimed to be dangerous, nothing happended.

Just because nothing happened to you, it doesn’t mean the sites aren’t malicious.

3 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:01 by rtfa

@no.1 torrentfreak said they tested it themselves, this isn’t just google’s words. Why not try the site AND THEN post your comment, rather than the other way about ;)

4 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:06 by Peter_Pan

True. I was about to write something about that. Could not find the ‘edit-button’ :-)

I dont know what Google use for their tests but something tells me they dont use an updated version of IE and Windows.

And maybe their software tests for securityholes which existed back in 2001 or something.

And maybe they test using some software which is ‘happy’ to declare every .js file a threat.

We dont know do we?

5 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:13 by gossi

Peter_Pan, go Google “Stop Badware”, you can find out exactly how they do it.

Google are testing for *any* malicious files. They don’t say “Well, that site is trying to exploit it’s visitors PCs, but it’ll only work if they use IE 6, so we’ll allow that”. Any malicious sites are blocked.

And I say, good. Your average computer user – which make most of Google’s users – likely doesn’t know what version of Internet Explorer they run, what an exploit is etc.

6 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:14 by teohhanhui

@Peter_Pan

It doesn’t matter which browser you are using. However, it’s probably correct to assume that the trojans can’t do any harm if you’re running IE in Protected Mode under Vista.

7 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:18 by Peter_Pan

@3

It doesnt mean a thing that some triggerhappy program pops up.

Some programs pop up just because of cookies, some because a site has PORN-banners, some just because its sunday.

Popups from useless programs doesnt mean a thing.

Unless they visit the site and EG get a backdoor installed, or the site change the startpage of their browser or they get their C:-drive deleted, nothing has happend.

Update:
Ok I have visited the site.
I have no anti-malware/anti-virus/whatever program to make me worried. I get no popups :-).

I will now scan my computer 2 times with 2 different online scanners and will post the result later.

8 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:33 by Anonymous

Either way,

I’m not going back there if they are deciding to fill their site with malware. I don’t care who its supposed to infect but the fact that they need to infect their users with malware in the first place puts me off big time.

9 Dec 07, 2008 at 13:41 by Ali

@Peter_Pan
I don’t mind the lameass barking, it’s the fact that your stating that using “an updated version of IE and Windows” is a defence. As if windows and IE are the best software out there… Just makes me chuckle.
Food for thought:

Nahhh. I know IE and Windows might not be the best.

All Im claiming is that I can visit those VERY DANGEROUS sites and not get infected… EVERY time.

From http://forums.empornium.us/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=87342:

We have had a number of reports from people receiving a threat from ads on our site, of course we would never condone this & it is being slipped in to an ad network by some asshole who needs to be strung up by the balls until they snap. :x

It seems they are using several tricks to avoid detection, including doing it randomly & only occasionally, possibly even selective geographical targeting.

As hard as we have tried to track it down we still have not been successful, what we need is for anyone getting the threat to take a screenshot for us so that we can see what ads were displaying on the page at the time, also copying the ad URL/link for us may help.

Any other info such as that your AV or firewall may provide may also help, anything you have got, but MOST IMPORTANTLY the entire screenshot of the occurrence.

If you have that for us please post it in this thread, please do NOT post anything else or if you do not have the screenshot, that is the crucial requirement.

All members are reminded that they should always use a good & up to date Anti-Virus & Firewall, a good real time anti-spyware app is also wise.

You should keep on top of security updates not only for your OS, but also for your browser & other apps as well, http://secunia.com/ provides a pretty good free scan for popular software that is lacking security updates.

If you want assistance with security matters please refer to the Help & Support forum, please do not post in this thread, this is ONLY for helping us track the source down.

Thank you

when does google have the right to say who goes to what web site fuck you google!

13 Dec 07, 2008 at 14:21 by Anonymous

@Peter_Pan
That’s fine if *you* don’t get infected. But as has been said, not everyone is immune to those sites. Majority of people aren’t tech savvy, they don’t have up to date virus scanners and patches. Google is doing a favor by warning users of the potential danger to *some* not *all* people. They can still proceed to the site if they choose to.

14 Dec 07, 2008 at 14:23 by liquidmonkey

so what is exactly going on here?
i have NEVER seen this google blocking thing before and even after clicking ‘ignore this warning’ i still can’t get in!!!!!! :(

what gives!??

has emp sold us out??? i had an awesome ratio and everything….

LOL@Peter_Pan

You probably don’t realise you are infected, viruses and trojans won’t be visible unless you know what you’re doing.

16 Dec 07, 2008 at 14:24 by stfu

The Reg is full of crap and are well know for biased views against windows. The list of actual threats for linux is in the hundreds including viruses exploits and other malware. Now while that’s nothing compared to Windows, Linux only hold about 1% market share. It is practically pointless from a malware writes point of view to write anything for Linux. As the main purpose of most malware is infection for the purposes of generating revenue and/or proliferation, its common sense that they would target the OS with the dominent market share. If Linux was dominent (which will never happen) and Windows was the minority that would still apply. Windows would see very few malware infections simply because it would not be a viable target. Lastly, Linux is not any more secure than Windows, that is a fact. There are more “serious” cases affecting Linux machines and MAC’s than there are affecting Windows Vista and XP. The problem is that MS take longer to patch those. In a Q1 report compiled by data provided by NIST, Vista came top with only 10 critical vulnerabilities. XP was 2nd with about 11-12 Linux had over 20 the MAC was the worst with 26. So enough of the Linux fanboy bulletproof OS crap.

26 Dec 07, 2008 at 15:30 by ALIS

I think this is just a lame attempt to scare people to stop using the site. I have had no problems with the site, no malware, virus, trojans or anything. Maybe zonealarm stops the harmfull programs but i still think its just a lame scare tactic.

28 Dec 07, 2008 at 15:59 by www.10ch.org

Well, I bet that the malware is based off of javascript, which is supposedly supposed to be safe, but which still has exploits. Turning off javascript may enable you to safely browse the website, but I cannot be completely sure of that.

I have received this warning as well over the past several months, but not on every visit.

“Now while that’s nothing compared to Windows, Linux only hold about 1% market share. It is practically pointless from a malware writes point of view to write anything for Linux.”

Save your “security through obscurity” bullshit. Whereas Windows is regarded as an utter joke by serious crackers because even a monkey could write effective malware for it, Linux is regarded as a huge prize because creating effective malware for it is a challenge to say the least.

So while the kiddies aim their sights at Windows, the big boys set theirs sights for operating systems like Linux, where the actual security, challenge, and bragging rights are.

Not that I’d touch Linux with a 10 foot pole, mind, since apparently it’s a rule that anything written for it has to feature UI that’s a complete and utter fucking abomintion.

As for Google’s little security alerts, they can take their self-imposed title of Internet Nanny and shove it. Anybody mindbogglingly negligent enough to either leave it, or make it, so websites are allowed to install malware on their PC is entirely deserving of it.

36 Dec 07, 2008 at 18:33 by T

It’s definitely not a anti-piracy hoax. It happened to me. I was using the google search feature in mozilla and have some torrent search website’s extension in it so I search using that feature. Was searching for music and got the popup from google. So I thought it was BS and, just to play it safe, updated my symantic and then went into IE and pasted the same search link in there. The second I went to the website I got corrupted by multiple viruses. A trojan and something else.

Symantic told me to get rid of the trojan I had to reboot. So I rebooted and now my computer won’t start. It turns on but when I go to log into windows my computer goes to the blue screen of death because winlogin isn’t working.

I’m not a computer pro but know my way around computer well enough. Obviously I was dumb enough to get these viruses though. Anyone have advice on how to get this junk off my computer so I can use it again?

37 Dec 07, 2008 at 18:38 by Eh

I visited there just yesterday, got the warning, but the site description was way different than this – it said last detection was over 2 months ago and it said nothing was found on the last last visit (which was 1 month ago).

So I guess I arrived just before they had finished updating with their newest results?

I’ve ran an Avira virus scan (which didn’t find anything, or at least nothing related to this – it complained about some chinese game related software, but that was from an old harddrive I had just plugged back in), an adaware scan (which found the usual cookie stuff) and am running superantispyware, gonnna run malwarebytes and spybot as well.

None of the domains they mentioned show up in my browser history.
Did I just get really, really, really lucky?

What are the names of the trojans found?

38 Dec 07, 2008 at 18:42 by Eh

Btw I would normally not have visited the site after the warning but it seemed old (ie the detection was several months ago and there was nothing reported on their last test).

39 Dec 07, 2008 at 19:06 by malware researcher

this is a true story and if your acrobat is not update, you will be infected. some of you may be infected now with a rootkit.

these pdf exploits have been on the rise for months now and i’ve seen it first hand from this website.

40 Dec 07, 2008 at 19:06 by KyleH

You probably did get lucky, yes. I very much doubt that the empornium admins, scumbags that they are having ripped off the original admins, purposefully put trojans on the site. My assumption is that they just didn’t bother to screen their advertisement partners (I imagine it’s very difficult to source legit ads for a porno site), and _they_ didn’t screen their ad sources well enough, and sold some of their adspace to the russian mafiya or eastern european/chinese commercial hackers.

Porn is just gross so it doesn’t really bother me that google’s blocking this tracker. That’s just “EEWWWW” worthy in my opinion.

LOL i actually just noticed it last night and was thinking wtf

44 Dec 07, 2008 at 19:38 by T

So I finally got my computer to start in safe mode and did a system restore to an earlier date, updated symantic again, and then scanned for the trojans. I had two tojans on my computer, both called Backdoor.Trojan. One was wJQs.exe and the other was KB908258[1].exe. Luckily the restore worked and I was able to delete the them before any further damage was done.

This really isn’t a hoax. I should have listened to google the first time and not been an idiot and used IE to get to the site. Mozilla is much safer.

That’s why we left Emp for Cheggit.

#35, So if my Adobe Reader is updated there shouldn’t be anything to worry about?
(mine is 8.1.3 which seems to be the newest version aside from a small language update)

Also, if I were infected with a rootkit, it would only affect the harddrive that my OS is installed on, right? So if I format that drive and reinstall, the other drives should still be usable?

Hm, also, how would I even know if I was infected with a rootkit – is there any reliable tests for them (from what I’ve read they are quite good at hiding from AV scanners)?
I haven’t really noticed anything strange since yesterday, the computer froze up once (possibly twice, don’t remember) but that was something that happened the day before as well (and I had not visited the site then).

47 Dec 07, 2008 at 20:01 by Eh

Thanks for any help btw.

48 Dec 07, 2008 at 20:03 by Eh

Also, just to make sure I understand this correctly; when they say they found infections in 4 out of 107 pages on empornium, does this mean that it’s entirely plausible I just didn’t get any of those 4 infected while browsing (since I probably didn’t visit more than 10 seperate empornium “pages” within the site)?

I can confirm the story. I happended to visit Empornium yesterday (using latest Opera version but with Acrobat Reader 8 still installed) and got some strange dialog popup (post request) and my firewall kicked in and blocked an access attempt.
Since I used Opera and a Firewall a assumed the exploit failed to download further code.
I unistalled the old Acrobat reader, revisited the site and immedeately got a .pdf-file download dialog from some strange third party site …

I still hope I didn’t catch any malware but I definetly will run a system scan for rootkits and malware
tonight now to chech it out again.

#78, you are the one who is clueless… Firefox and Opera both have a setting which allows the browser to check web sites against Googles list of ‘attack sites’ before loading the page, and will automatically redirect them to a warning page, regardless of whether you type the URL, click a bookmark, or search Google. The result is the same, an “Attack Site” page and a link at the bottom right to ignore the warning and proceed to the page.

Turn off the setting in Firefox or Opera and you can load the page just fine, without the warning. This has nothing to do with searching Google for “Empornium” and following a link from the results.

At least _try_ to research what you you are talking about before accusing others of incompetence, it makes you appear even dumber.

Serves anyone right for using Empornium after the takeover.

“Serves anyone right for using Empornium after the takeover.”

Dude, its been two years, most of the world has moved on, no one cares anymore. Empornium is a business and businesses are sold and ownerships change hands all the time in the real world. Did you refuse to shop at your local grocery store because the owner sold the store and retired? Get a damn clue about how the real world works and judge the site based on its merits, not the action of a long-gone owner who made a business decision that “Internet Purists” didn’t agree with. If you don’t like it, go make your own porn tracker like the guys at Cheggit did. Hopefully Cheggit will not suffer the same fate; over extended financial problems due to massive bandwidth and maintenance costs. If they grow slowly and keep costs in check, and maintain ad revenue, the maybe they will survive as long as Empornium has.

You have some idealized view of what the internet and the free market should be, and its not in line with what the real world is like. No one can operate a site like Empornium or Cheggit for free. It takes operating capitol and financing. Get your head out of the clouds and join us in the real world. Your mom is only going to let you live in her basement for so long, eventually you will have to deal with financial pressures yourself, then you might understand.

Cheggit, Yeah right!
Let me tell you a Story, A long time ago in a far away corner of the WorldWideIntrawebs, They started a Prontracker.
In those day anyone could start a torrentracker, so they did.
The Layout was bad, the tags sucked and the Members were rotten.
Its a short story but i didnt lie!

Im a member of cheggit for a year now, and lots of members arent nice to women in general.

Yesterday I hit what appeared to be a PDF exploit on fulldls.com, via a link from Google… next thing I knew, i couldn’t access antivirus sites or cnn.com (???) and there were suspicious popups. Malwarebytes reported a trojan. Is fulldls known for this and I’m just a clueless newb?

105 Dec 18, 2008 at 01:39 by Replicant

I bypassed the warning and used the site several times this week.
I got firefox with a bunch of security plugins,and norton security.
got nothing alarming or suspicious.

can anyone confirm the names of threats that we should be looking for? or smth that detects them? so as to check and try to resolve this.

meanwhile puretna is the place to go for..fellow wankers!

106 Dec 18, 2008 at 02:45 by Paul

I’ve been dl’ing porn from Empornium for years but not til recently(the las few months), just accessing the main page, I had viruses quite a few times attack my computer. So far, Nortons antivius has intercepted them. But no longer worth the risk.

107 Dec 18, 2008 at 02:52 by Paul

Trojan. I checked my antivirus history. Last week I was on the site for 2 hours and there were 15 attacks on my computer.

108 Dec 18, 2008 at 06:51 by Please help me

I think my computer is infected too.
There’s always this start-up problem(it won’t start the moment i press the On button so I have to On & Off repeatedly until it starts).

Anyone has this problem too? Help appreciated.

empornium.us is absolutely infected.i get it on my own skin acouple of days ago.got infected with some malicious “shait” (and something that became in task manager SERVICES.EXE – now i have/had two processes called SERVICES.EXE).I scanned my pc with some antispyware and found a lot of things that damaged my computer software.i managed to escape it only by resintaling windows-and im not a noob regarding viruses and escaping from them.but this exploits are really shitty.I used IE 6.So ppl beware of this site.P.S. i used this site before june 2008 and i had no problem so something must be wrong after june 2008.

115 Dec 20, 2008 at 10:23 by Coco

P.S.2 #102 yes i had the same problem cauldn/t acces any antivirus sites :)))))) and something was downloaded from my computer daily while i was infected and triedto get rid of it.I meet a lot of trojans/malware before but this one really f@cked my computer and my head.

116 Dec 24, 2008 at 01:24 by someguy

Empornium malware ads tried to infect me in the past. My Foxit PDF reader asked for permission to access the internet.

Thought they had taken care of it.

Now today the same thing happens, except no permission asked, it tried to open a PDF inside my IE 6.0. I had to shut down my IE process in task manager.

Just an update, things aren't 100% safe.

117 Dec 29, 2008 at 07:02 by The Truth

I've a collection and I'm not worried. it may simply be because I am not as important as I thought I once was. Simply put, we are cogs in a giant machine and that machine will get us if it so so chooses. simply by being connected we are accessible and there is nothing you can do about it. True, it may be an inconvienience at times, but guess what… your not that important, you don't make enough to warrant serious attacks and you can always recover a previous image of your platform.
