Hackers Run Wild Spending BitTorrent Tracker’s Donations
Written by enigmax on December 29, 2007The SuperTorrents BitTorrent tracker has been the subject of a major security breach, with hackers gaining access to private accounts from which they donated all the site’s money to a religious group. The hackers even went as far as contacting the site’s host and canceled all of their seedboxes.
Earlier this year, the anti-piracy company MediaDefender was torn apart when its email system was compromised and hackers laid the company’s secrets bare for the world to see. Some months later, the SuperTorrents (ST) BitTorrent tracker has been the victim of hackers. According to a so-called ’scene notice’ circulating at the moment, the 35,000 member site was compromised when the hackers discovered that the admin of ST used the same password on a lot of other sites, as he does on other accounts - email etc. This is the same mistake that MediaDefender made.
The notice begins:
Now this is the story all about how Ersan’s life got flipped turned upside down and I’d like to take a minute and just sit right there and tell you how Ersan became the prince of a town called bel air. This weeks source of lulz is provided free of charge via a site called supertorrents.org and the nicest Administrator you’ve ever met, Ersan.
The hackers discovered that the same password secured the site’s PayPal donations account. They claimed that due to the admin of ST making derogatory comments about a religious group, they decided to donate all the site’s available donations - over $2000 - to an Internet portal dedicated to that same religion.
While the hackers said they had fun deleting and disabling some more minor accounts like the admins YouTube account, they had rather more malice in mind when they managed to get access to the admins Gmail account (same as MediaDefender again). They discovered the admin’s real name, address, age and even the car he drives. After having fun making a mess of the account, the hackers said: “At this point we just deleted his account, because maximum lulz were achieved.”
The hackers then accessed the site’s admin panel for communicating with their host: “we logged into his [hosts] account panel where he hosts the supertorrents seedboxes and canceled them.”
The hackers give an explanation of the way they compromised the site:
“This all began a few days ago. Me and some friends were scoping around supertorrents irc network, when we discovered that they had a public prechan. Upon discovering this moderate scene security problem some friends and I decided to check the security of said prebot, turns out it was not so secure. Upon rooting the box and grabbing the unsecure predb and some scripts to play with we then rainbow tabled’d his password hash”
The motives for hacking the site seem to be twofold. Many Scene members consider torrent sites to be to blame for compromising their security and there does seem to be indication that this provoked the hacking in part. Money is mentioned quite a lot, in that it seems the hackers are annoyed at the level of donations at SuperTorrents, even appealing to the members to consider where their money is going.
It’s also claimed that many torrent sites are getting their releases from the same place and there are suggestions that this supply to the BitTorrent community should be strangled.
No doubt the MPAA will be delighted to hear this.
Update: More information is coming through which suggests that Ersan feels that his address hasn’t been compromised and he doesn’t drive the car the hackers say he does. Ersan says that his host did not cancel the seedboxes and he further says that his Google email (far from being deleted) is actually recovered and the password has been reset. He continues: “From what I can tell, the server that they’re talking about was not rooted, but I’m going to reload the OS on it anyway. This has no effect on SuperTorrents in any way, it just screws with my personal email and finances for a few days. The worst part is not knowing the extent of the damages that have been done, if all that was done was what was stated above then I’ll be fine. If they downloaded all of my emails and chat logs or something then I have a real problem on my hands”
Update 2: The hackers seem to have responded: “Nice attempt at damage control. :/ We do have your real street address, among with a few others you were using. If we were just going to blank it out anyway, whats it matter? Shouldn’t you be happy we did that, I guess we could go with the unedited copies of your name and addresses for the third notice. You just made an order XXXXXXX.com (lol, nerd) would you like us to post the usps tracking number & address? (1) Your address is talked about many times in google chats, once again you’re lucky we dont post them here. You did buy a BRANDX(car), for $12,000. Heres some screenshots (2&3). We could always post more information about it, as we have your entire email box from a few weeks ago until now. Would you like us to? was it your father or brother that you got the carfax for, lol?”
In reponse to Ersan’s claim that the host did not cancel his servers: “Correct, [host] did not cancel your servers, they did however cancel your account. Oh well I guess we can’t win them all.”
The hackers then go on to deny that Ersan has recoverd his Gmail account and provide some sort of screenshot as proof. They also ask Ersan to stop sending ‘forgot my password’ to his own account as “it’s not helping.” They then go on to use Ersan’s real name and in what could be seen as a veiled threat say: “Be thankful Eric, that we didn’t give you the raging that was easily possible with all of the email and google chat logs we have. We PROBABLY won’t release those, but hey you never know! :)”
thanks r10t

“level of donations at SceneTorents” should that be supertorrents?
[quote comment="250954"]“level of donations at SceneTorents” should that be supertorrents?[/quote]
fixed, thanks
Torrent site run by a 19 year old retard who was stupid enough to use the SAME PASSWORD EVERYWHERE. I’m sorry but he had it coming.
scene people are bastards
If u guys saw the screenshots in the releases youd be laughin to!!
An /i/nvasion to a torrent tracker in favor of a religious group. WTF?
This is the cancer killing /i/
I did it for the lulz
I did it for the lulz
I did it for the lulz
Is it wrong that I find this humorous at the same time as depressing?
He used the same password for everything, even his goddamn youtube account! Wow. The ‘hackers’ sound awfully familiar for the way they talk. Hmm.
an hero
God dammit. A torrent site hacked? That’s like taking a “blade” from one of our own!
And the moral of the story is to never use the same password everywhere. Atleast use one for email account and one for forums.
Donating money to a religious group? :(
must be the worst way to spend money.
I hope there wasn’t religious motives behind this.
Honestly,im happy that this hapened,sites like these do nothin but ask for stupid donations all the time,even when content they have is not unique all the time,its so annoying.
Stuff should be free,if im supposed to pay to downlaod,i’ll just buy the damn thing,jezz.
Hack them again i say.
P.S :I know they dont force u but the situation is made as such ,that if u pay u get preference and all that,thats not cool.
Hey if the site admin is missusing donations, hell hack away scene! :)
haha!
Wow so what they did is actual hacking? Not some crazy script work? Crazy stories yo..
they did it for da lulz. I can respect that.
The site doesnt ASk for donations and for the record it is stated that they give a large percentage of the money to charity every month, extra that is not needed for the servers and seedbox’s.
some people need to realise that Ersan is one of the torrenting hero’s of the moment, supporting piracy and helping us though this all…
xxx hope you get through it Ers.

Enjoy!!
And this only goes to prove that the “scene” is really a bunch of attention-starved dickwads.
I mean really now. What the fuck was the point of doing it? For “lulz”? Yes, very funny, we’re all laughing.
Please do try to isolate your mediocre “scene” from the torrent world - we don’t need your superior asshattery.
Kthxbai.
To Ersan: Hope you work it out.
what a way to do the MPAA’s job for them.
Seems a bit strange that the ‘hackers’ say they’ve deleted his gmail account, then later offer proof that it hasn’t been deleted by ersan?
as in offer proof that it was still active.
Actually it is quite ironic that they should choose to attempt to donate the money to charity, as ironically that is preciselly what is happenning with the excess anyway.
It should be noted that none of the site servers were compromised and everything that they got their hands on was personal to ersan and not the users of the site. All of the money that is donated is only being spent on the site. Some of the acusations in the NFO (not all) are actually quite amped up to make them sound far worse than they are - or in the case of a couple of them are plain outright lies.
Fuck anyone who asks for money for torrenting - in ANY form (i.e. donations, subs, whatever.)
I pity the poor fool, but
(i) he duplicated his password across his accounts,
&
(ii) it seems he was targeted BECAUSE he’s a ‘pay-to-leech’ site.
Pretty much your own fault, dude…
i will never understand the concept of hacking. seems like a complete waste of time, i never find any humor in it. then again, i don’t find joy in being extremely computer savy so, that might be my downfall.

Fuck sites that ask for donations you say? Then how to you think the servers will be payed for?
To those of you who say asking for donations or sites rewarding donors to show appreciation is wrong: Obviously have no idea what it costs to actually run a site of that magnitude.
As long as you dont have to pay to become a member there’s nothing wrong with donations or adding a couple of gigs to someones account in order to keep the donations up.
You’re all fucking unrealistic morons who sit there on your high horses and expect the server bills to be payed without help from donors. Get a fucking grip. I know tons of admins who have to pay a lot of money out of their own pocket to pay the server bills just because the donations aren’t covering the costs.
Of course someone has to pay for torrenting, because in the end there’s a big fat server bill to pay. Maybe in your mind servers pay for themselves with fantasy money and candy? Please share with us your elitist and far superior idea for how to cover server costs!
Bunch of emo scene queers got mad one day, so they decided to use some scripts. Aww how nice, now go fuck yourself, and get rid of the skin tight pants and the over gel’d hair.
yeah i think that was pretty shitty thing to do
I see a lot of hate twoard members of the scene in these comments but the simple truth is that 90% of the worthwhile stuff on most torrents sites comes from the scene, and also that 90% of people using these sites to download scene stuff would not beable to contribute to it.
The scene is the essence of P2P, everyone has something to contribute and works for the right to get the rest, and because of torrents and Limewire they are the target of the MPAA etc even more than ever now.
bahahahahahah
So tell me again why private trackers are safer than public ones?
It was a group of 12-15 year old kids that call themselves Anonymous
a very small amount of them are actually educated with computers and can hack, the rest just egg eachother on and act like retards.
you can find them at:
4chan.org
7chan.org
420chan.org
12chan.org
[warning, many boards are not safe for work]
BS… most of the stuff come from individual such as ourselves
Private site doesn’t make you cool or elite
It’s just people who are selfish and want to share with only those who are member.
The point of p2p is to share
Not to make money
Not to take credit for what you share
But to make it widely available to the general public
Who cannot afford to pay for it
or cannot buy it due to limited quantity of it and is sold out…
Capitalism is a flawed system that only the rich can afford everything and we need something better called freetalism
:D
free= p2p.
Money is a form of control with p2p it will undo it’s evil
All you need is a computer, with internet connection, a dvd burner
plenty of blank media and you’re set
[…]
Your response is awaiting moderation.

i see the nazi are in control of this website as well
if you’re going to moderate what we say you may as well become hitler!

By the way the amount of donations he was recieving are FAR more than the server maintenance costs. Who says he was donating all the money to charity? Where is the evidence of that? The only expense I see is a new Lexus.

Ri-i-i-ght. So websites and servers should be bought, set up, and maintained and you a$$holes think someone else should pay for it all out of there pocket just so your cheapskate a$$ doesn’t have to contribute anything to the community. Why don’t you pinheads STFU and go leech off of some other community. Damn, there ought to be a minimum age to torrent. I’m so f’n sick of these whining juvenile crybabies who think they’re entitled to anything and everything and never give back Jack Squat.
I would seriously pay money to see one of them hauled out of their homes by a police officer. They really need to get a life.
Did this affect STmusic, as well?
I still think half of the people bitching about donations are idiots. ST takes an enormous ammount of traffic, hosting that means that server costs for the webserver alone are enormous. Add to that any other infrastructure required so that things dont run at 1kb/s, and you can quickly see where it goes. In the past, some people have come up to me and said “Why are you paying that much, u can get a 10mb server for $50 a month”. The irony of that is that they obviously have no clue as to a) bandwidth demands or b) resource demands of a site that large.
I would suggest that those who presume to tell admins to fund it out of their own pockets - which is the alternative - should set up their own site and see if they can absorb the costs on the couple of bucks they get in pocket money a week.
As for the bit about “who said they were donating stuff”, try reading a bit more info before spouting off about things like that. Its common knowledge! - go look at the banner on the front page!
Ersan Updated his response to the 2nd scene notice yesterday:
Once again, I do not have a lexus, I thought about buying one but there’s no way I can afford it, the VIN numbers I looked up were for my father, he works for the florida government in law enforcement and wanted to run title searches on the two cars I looked up - run your own history reports and you’ll see that there was no title transfer in the last several months. I drive a 1993 honda accord that I bought from my dad’s friend for $2500 and recently replaced the engine in, which is something I talked about on IRC quite a bit… (if any of that is important to you)
Softlayer did not cancel my account, and I currently have full access to it, the subaccount they had access to has been disabled.
The only thing I don’t have access to anymore is my e-mail.
Apparently google didn’t reset my password, it will ‘take up to 15 business days to investigate the issue’ and they probably do have my real address, but the one on softlayer is somewhere I haven’t lived in months… There’s nothing I can do about that, the only thing I can do is wait for google. I have no control over what these people do with my information - I do hope there’s no public release of my home address or I will be forced to move, my name is not so important. If anyone knows how to contact google directly please let me know, otherwise I have no more options but to wait for them to ‘investigate’…
Let me stress again that none of this affects supertorrents in any way, it only affects me personally, the passwords and e-mail addresses associated with ST are different than my personal ones - whether that was their intention or not is something I don’t know.
$12k for a lexus? He donates his time to. If people want to donate let them. It doesn’t hurt anyone except him when the MPAA/RIAA knocks on his door.
I gues it is oke, to make a point. If your neighbours wifi router is not protected, then you could think that your neighbours are oke with it, that you hit a ride on there internet. It does not mean, that you open, there (standard paasword router website, and change it so that your neighbours can not use it anymore. It is to much what these so called hackers (read scriptkiddy) did. If they just did change the index.php, would be more lol and gives the victum a change to learn
This seems like a rude thing to do. Perhaps it makes them feel better to bully people online because they themselves get bullied in real life. One has to imagine the geeks who are responsible for this, probably in between games of Warcraft no doubt.
LOLz loser script kiddies think they are “hackers”. Hacking is working with no tools, hacking is doing something new as an exploit. Scripting is going to a security site, reading about that exploit, developing the script, and distributing it out to losers like these would-be hackers that think they are cool. LMAO. losers. I don’t care if he wanted a couple of donations to keep his server running, I have no problems with pan handling while doing the community a service by running a tracker site. You jackass script kiddies just helped the enemies do you honestly think we like you? Or your damned pathetic religion you wanted to support? I can say whatever I like about religion because it is evil, why the hell should a jackass like you come along and punish me for my freedom to express myself? Know what religions say of us that don’t believe they crap?
These loser script kiddies had no point, and real hackers don’t trash people in that kind of way, and if they weren’t smart enough to forge the mac address and use a laptop on wifi, they are traceable. I hope you get your ass caught. :P fuckin wannabees.

Anonymous is pleased.
first he uses the same passwords everywhere. Then he tells the world his dad works for the government in law enforcement ? Not the brightest kid, I hope his dad forgives him if his son ever gets arrested and the media has a field day with that fact that its a son of a top law enforcement agent. That sounds like something that would ruin his career.
Oh well, hopefully nothing else bad happens because of all of this.
btw i like how he tells everyone he hasn’t lived there in months. So now the hackers know to just go to the post office and get the forwarding address everyone fills out when they move.
Good thing 19 yr olds don’t run the world, they arent the sharpest knives in the shed apparently.
It didn’t affect him at all, this whole thing has been blown out of proportion; most of what they said they did has been reversed already, so get a grip and don’t believe the hype!!!
http://www.panthermoderns.com/sexxah_n00ds_of_Ersan
poor erik
While I have the utmost respect for the scene, and can even understand what they did to an extent, I can’t stand the fact that they gave the 2k to a religious group. Why not something that bettered technology or something? Hell, even donating it to a circus would’ve been hilarious.
However, I can’t help but laugh at his stupidity of using the same password for everything.
I want a Lexus

Half right, Hacking actually has no connetations towards breaking programs or any illicit activity. It has just become common usage. The bit about “no tools” is right though C ‘hackers’ use vi - or for those of a more infantile, coddled in cotton wool disposition - Notepad.

he speaks da truth
Hackers on steroids fight back
looks like the hackers made it easy to find out who he is by what they release. look @ the 1 set of screens. in one email they blacked out the vin# in the subject but forgot to black it out in the email.
opps. with that type of info i could knock on his front door in 24 hhrs. lulz
I f-ing hate people who fudge with other peoples business. Do you think your providing some sort of justice? I mean come on you not only scare the shit out of all ST users and you make the admins life miserable. Shame on you for hurting people you don’t even know. I don’t care if he’s using the money for a car or whatever, as long as the site stays online and satisfies the latest torrent releases what does it matter.
Oh look I have mad hacking skillz I can use the same password that i stole on all these other sites. - Lame, you should rot in hell loser
Why are 4chan being mentioned here, we know it was Ebaumsworld and GaiaOnline doing this shit.
RULES 1 AND 2 NEWFAGS
embarassing for both parties, if you ask me
lol phags
thanks for the daily lulz!

Ersan has been known over the years to make enemies very fast and he has screwed over many people over the years. Basically what goes around comes around. I agree it’s fucked up to put someones info out like that…but if you dont go around fucking with other people then you yourself won’t be fucked with.
BTW is it not unfair that ST users donate their hard earned money and then the site owner uses that money to buy a lexus? I mean comon, im sure the users donate money to keep the site running. Not so some teenager can roll around in a lexus.
How about linking to the actual files somewhere so people can actually see the screenshots and original NFO for themselves instead of your crappy comments throughout it all.
Those hackers are so childish…bet they are under 15;)
Omg, these are just noob 18-year old script kiddies, who think they’re l33t or something just because they can use other ppl’s hax and exploit an admin who is obviously very badly rehearsed in internet security.
Well at least they act :/
I never knew that using rainbow tables was considered hacking!
OMG IM SUCH A HAX0R NOW!%!#%!@$@!
It’s more like this: Kids with nothing else to do that have some common sense, and one idiot with something to do without common sense.

Want some cheese with that whine, knobchops? You’re the wanker doing all the whining.
I’m a fucking PIRATE, you twat; ergo, I don’t pay to download shit. I don’t pay the retailer & I CERTAINLY don’t pay other pirates for the privilege.
If you can’t afford to run a service, then FUCK OFF - don’t come begz0ring to me about monthly fees. I can find the downloads a thousand other places that cost fuck-all.
Now ETPOMSAD, dimbulb…
HTH HAND kthxbai
Silly wee boys! thats what i think! for anyone of them to do this to Ersan or any other Torrent site leader is a stab in the back to their own scene.
how dare these kiddies do this!
big shout out to all the Staff,mods& users at ST!
we shall, we shall not be moved!
fuck you teenie hackers :(
Damn script kiddies!!
those hackers are immature
seriously was that the first thing youve ever hacked?
calm down you sound like little kids.
admin is pretty stupid at the same time
um.. ??
Arn’t filesharers supposed to stick together?
WTF is this hacking other torrent site?
We’re under enough attack from the establishment and you go and attack your own?
I agree with Jellies.
By the way, as controversial as this situation is, a lot of you don’t seem to understand who did this. It was people with scene access, they did it because they have some type of grudge against the Super Torrents site admin and they believe that it’s a threat to scene security. It’s the scene that supplies us the torrents. Yes, this may have been a bit too harsh but that’s why you guys have to know what you’re getting into. Everyone thinks torrenting is just fun and games, ’sharing is caring’ right? Well, most of the stuff comes from the scene, that’s where the big kids play, and they don’t really like torrenting.
And cut the crap about all that hacker talk. ‘Omgz itz not haxing, h4xing is wen jooo r a reel programer, deez guyz are teh script kiddiez’. Although I agree that the word hacker has a negative connotation thanks to the media, arguing over what is and isn’t hacking is a futile attempt on the Internet. Everyone has their own views.
Peace Out
i think some of you cunts have missed the point of donations! you are not and never have been asked to give to
Super Torrents by any of the staff! it is simply a way of helping keep the site alive! so what are you all suggesting that these guys pay for all this themselves? they do enough in the rest of the work they do! i give them a few dollars every month and im proud to be a member and give them a hand in the costs!servers aint cheap,and afaik the uploaders pay for their own seedboxes not supertorrents
how many other trackers are giving every penny that comes their way to charity this month? cause we at ST are! $10.000 i believe so stfu all you hater tosspots
Soon all you hackers and thieves will have nowhere to steal your content, the adult industry is going to shut you all down! viva la gfy.com
hackers my ass.
Just a bunch of skinny losers who can’t get laid and try to take their frustrations on others…
Pathetic… And it gives a bad rep to real hackers. A shame really..

“with hackers gaining access to private accounts from which the donated all the site’s money to a religious group.”
this is clearly a misleading tagline, as you clearly stated, 2000 dollars was taken, not ALL the site’s money.
To the people saying most of the stuff on P2P is from the scene: a lot, certainly - most of the pre-release stuff, but certainly not everything.

Idiot. Your arguement might be more convincing if it wasn’t so full of shit. If it was compulsory to donate to use the site. It isn’t. Demonising sites that ask for donations doesn’t help, and whats more why dont u just try and find a torrent site that doesn’t have donations button. You wont find one that has any decent quality of service.
The only difference here is that you get something back if you choose to - something you don’t on a lot.
They lol to damn funny Supertorrents deserved this. For one there IRC is fckn rude the admin/mods are self centered this ade the rest of my year what a nice top off rolmfaoooooooo
1+ to the hackers ;)
SO THE SITE GOT HACKED BY SOME INDIANS???
I responded again, fyi… Apparently nobody read that one.
Once again, I do not have a lexus, I thought about buying one but there’s no way I can afford it, the VIN numbers I looked up were for my father, he works for the florida government in law enforcement and wanted to run title searches on the two cars I looked up - run your own history reports and you’ll see that there was no title transfer in the last several months. I drive a 1993 honda accord that I bought from my dad’s friend for $2500 and recently replaced the engine in, which is something I talked about on IRC quite a bit… (if any of that is important to you)
Softlayer did not cancel my account, and I currently have full access to it, the subaccount they had access to has been disabled.
The only thing I don’t have access to anymore is my e-mail.
Apparently google didn’t reset my password, it will ‘take up to 15 business days to investigate the issue’ and they probably do have my real address, but the one on softlayer is somewhere I haven’t lived in months… There’s nothing I can do about that, the only thing I can do is wait for google. I have no control over what these people do with my information - I do hope there’s no public release of my home address or I will be forced to move, my name is not so important. If anyone knows how to contact google directly please let me know, otherwise I have no more options but to wait for them to ‘investigate’…
Let me stress again that none of this affects supertorrents in any way, it only affects me personally, the passwords and e-mail addresses associated with ST are different than my personal ones - whether that was their intention or not is something I don’t know.
Additionally, the money was returned by paypal within 2 days and they have no control over the account, so this article’s title is misleading.
When i go to the store to get milk i dont pay for it anymore.. i donate and the store gives me soma milk as a thank you….

absolutely bloody pointless. if the scene is to blame - fuck the scene. I can get my rips elsewhere and, hell, I can even live without cracks.
I wonder if Ersan can get them for grand larceny, or whatever the digital equivalent is. Regardless of their intent or the reasons behind doing what they did, they stole $2000. That isn’t pocket change.
They didn’t steal it, I got it back within 2 days… This whole thing is blown out of proportion.
good to see that the scene is doing the MPAAs work for them now.
I see many problems with what these guys did:
1) donate the money to a religious org. Just awful :(
2) If they don’t like that admin, then fine mess with him all you want, but don’t in such a way that it also messes with the users. As far as I’m concerned that’s declaring war on all of us that use torrent sites.
3) Helping the MPAA!!! Those douche bags should be hanged so congrats crackers you are douche bags by association.
4) Giving a bad name to true hackers. This is called “cracking” for a reason. Hackers make electronics do things that they weren’t intended to do. Crackers maliciously enter others systems. Get it right so the brain-dead public doesn’t hear the word and get the wrong idea!

Oh WELL DONE, lamebrain!
You COMPLETELY FAILED to respond to any of my points. Do you have to pay to FTP? Usenet? IRC even? LMFAO! These are all valid methods of downloading content that cost (not counting premium Usenet services a la Giganews et al) - guess what? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. The big zero…
I reiterate: Anyone who asks for cash - in ANY form - in return for services in assistance of downloading pirated content is a thieving scat-muncher.

Super Torrents by any of the staff! it is simply a way of helping keep the site alive! so what are you all suggesting that these guys pay for all this themselves? they do enough in the rest of the work they do! i give them a few dollars every month and im proud to be a member and give them a hand in the costs!servers aint cheap,and afaik the uploaders pay for their own seedboxes not supertorrents
how many other trackers are giving every penny that comes their way to charity this month? cause we at ST are! $10.000 i believe so stfu all you hater tosspots[/quote]

One has to ask why you are posting about a torrent site on a torrent news site. If you love IRC/FTP so much, then go back there with the other kiddies, I hardly expect anyone will miss you about. There you can be as self centered and/or important as you like.
everyone i have an anouncment to make!
I am an Elite Hacker!
I can do great things such as grenade hop in Counterstike.
I am the greatest Hacker in the world and you script kiddies can jump off a cliff.
lol
come on guys who cares.
as for stealing the donations, that was not good all that did was make you look bad. the rest i got a laugh from.
as for the admin you should have taken better care of your online stuff. the same password for all accounts is a pretty stupid thing, i hope you have learnt your leson on that end.
and the scene……what is your problem? you could have handled that a lot better, instead you acted like a bunch of 12 year olds going through puberty, honestly i expected better from you.
as for the whole religion thing, isnt it time we put all that crap behind us?
muslims are blowing themselves up to kill people.
christains are commiting genocide…….
and the religion of bob wants me to drink some punch…
im going to make a large donation to supertorrents now that ive read this article… and more so the comments attached to it.

Fuck all you pirate thieves, we will shut you all down for stealing our content and making money from it.
Viva La GFY.com
lol you loser hackers ought to be doing something useful with your supposed mad skills, like opening up peoples routers so wireless ip phones take out greedy corporations, not stepping on a guy that’s managed to make a bit of profit running a service for people. Heck how about you use those brain cells to maybe figure out how to get rid of isp’s next. Do something useful, this hasn’t accomplished anything, his site is still running and now he’s getting more donations and publicity because of you fucktards. All that work trying to hurt someone and it’s done the exact opposite — bunch blithering morons for script kiddies. Has anybody traced back their ip’s to see where that leads them? You’ll at least get some sort of clues, maybe they were stupid enough to use their own internet connection to do this. Maybe they left their hardware mac address in a log somewhere. Maybe that hardware mac address can be tied back to their equipment, which might be registered. A true hacker would be-able to cover up their tracks, these guys don’t sound professional, they sound like a bunch of llamas you can catch eventually and teach ‘em a lesson. Your dad has ties in law enforcement you could probably get him to help you with regards to tracing them back, at least to geographical location. I’m just waiting to get a bigger piece of the picture so I can see how much these fools ended up screwing up. Hackers don’t use leetspeak anymore it’s been rendered gay by script kiddies and wannabees. Hey script kiddies hack my penis with your lips.

You silly twat. Nigh on all of the ‘ethical’ sites use banner advertising to cover their costs. If YOU can’t find any, it’s nobody’s fault but your own. Just keep on paying up for free gear, llama.
Piss on pay-2-leech sites.
Bunch of wankers. Apparently these “lulz” are also obtainable through DDoS attacks on popular websites and other ways of being an utter plonker.
Of course one day they’re going to slip up and end up in the fed’ral pound-me-in-the-bum. Until then, site operators had best get their bleeping security in gear.
these stories are setups. they always include the element of
1. infighting amongst thieves
2. seed boxes
3. impropriety and dishonesty with donations
implying criminal piracy etc
these stories are always the same
i was banned from slyck for posting against one of these propaganda smears
the site reported on slyck 3 months ago, same story, site was 4 weeks old, 6 seed boxes, members donating $12,000/month, then the admin’s private files were exposed etc etc
you know the reality of income versus outgoings and you are deep in irc
always these sites they make the stories on are so new nobody knows them but the revenue income is fantastic
it is all BS but this is sold as truth to blogs and news sites and next thing you know it is truth
i have hardcore uploaders, it dont get deeper into the scene than we
this story it is all crap, these people are actors
look at the number of diggs for a new story about nothing
it is an organised smear against the scene
Ersan, these jerks own http://www.itsoverninethousand.com
According to internic registration the owner is george henderson, in ottawa.
According to reverse lookup of the number:
(614) 245-1145 is a land line based in New Albany (Franklin), OH
In order to have ownership of a domain the registrar must be-able to contact the owner. Time to figure out if that is a working phone number or not. The name and address are both fake, but the number has to be accurate or else you can request the registrar take the domain down (because terms of service for domain means you must have valid contact information).
If it is a working phone number and the guy contends that he does not own the domain, then don’t believe him but see if his domain goes down after getting ahold of registrar.
Also be sure to figure out who’s hosting the domain.
You should also have a word with coloquest.com, and mention the server and see what they have to say since I’m seeing a route through their network. More importantly, they would have an idea of who has access to that server, where exactly it physically is, ips of people accessing the site, etc.
My guess is these pricks are easy to catch, you just gotta do a little investigating. With your dad’s help, you can move on their tracks alot quicker with help from law enforcement authorities where the hosting provider is located, that server contains valuable evidence as to their identity.
Of all the things these kids could hack they pick a torrent site? This leads me to beleive they got the password by sheer luck and when they found out he used the same password everywere the geeks decided to get there 15 minutes of e-fame. Worst part is the boasting from the hacker kids.
500$ says these kids are American. What with the religious bs and all.
[quote comment="251389"]

You just gave me my epic lulz for the day
http://tinyurl.com/323h3y
lol they are american, that’s why their host is located in the us, the landline is in the us, nevermind the fake address. So my guess is these fools are from ohio. Which means they can’t get to colorado fast enough to clean up their tracks if they screwed up.
Fuck those little bastards! All religion is evil!
[quote comment="251422"]Fuck those little bastards! All religion is evil![/quote]
your right!
What hackers..? Dick wad script kiddies…..lols R on them AAAhh haahhaa
They got lucky with a weak password and then did what dick wad script kiddies do… They circle jerked themselves and revealed to the world that they are elite lOOzers… NOBODY IS IMPRESSED or even cares past the first post
The reason why I’m saying the address is fake is because the postal code is for north york, not ottawa. I have no clue where mail would get delivered but my guess is to one place or the other, either a george henderson in that postal code area (which I doubt), or to that street address in ottawa (which I’m certain wouldn’t be a valid addy regardless). But the phone number would have to be real enough, I would have expected a cell phone, not a landline. The landline clue there makes me think they are n00bs. They must have working contact or their domain is toast. And I don’t have to hack a thing, just watch other people do the work and take you down. haha….l337 my a$$
cmon pu55y hackers whatcha gunna do? you can’t save your domain, you can’t save your hosting, both are gunna be toast. hahahahaha…. and there’s nothin you can do about it. bye bye. no hacking needed just calling them up ‘ll do and mentioning situation. now some lolz for me. Maybe I’d waste my real talent on you if you weren’t such a savory target. I like stompin bitch ass wannabees.
a disposable cellphone would work good, landlines have physicall locations assosiated with them,
then again how often does someone ring up every number on every domain and check it out?
or the real owner could play dumb and say they “hacked it”
dang.
lol I doubt very much it got hacked by anybody, that domain is clearly theirs. It also contains logs of the morons that posted on there. U think a hacker is gunna spend that much time on a site like that without being noticed? LOLZ. That’s them they just ain’t all that bright, easy to find, easy to stomp, they should start begging for forgiveness now cuz they can get stomped real bad by some real hackers if needbe.
I find is quite ironic that the scene will “hack” ST over donations but will allow pay to leech on their ftp servers…
has anybody tried egging them on through their contact page? (LOL) email your remarks to them I’m sure they’ll love it and sit there and respond to each and every single one.
IDIOT!!! Using the same password for everything? I don’t know how people can do that. Especially a site admin. Oh well he got what was coming to him. Plus, it was just a shitty pay to leech site.
PS: I wouldn’t be surprised if those “hackers” got arrested. $2000 is a lot of money to take away. Poor dude. Still, he had it coming.
lol they use windows. :P real hackers don’t use windows.
real hackers use linux

HAHAHAHA. This is too damn funny. Running a big site that has an impact on the anonymity of all prospective visitors/users…. the admin has a DUTY to keep that site safely patched and monitored in case of exploiters. Anyone who runs even just a regular, non-script heavy website knows this.
You get what you deserve if you play with blind glee in the sandbox where you KNOW infected needles are hiding.

Down with the noob torrent sites!
I might like to add my two cents, having to jump through hoops to get onto a tracker is lame. :P honestly what’s the use, I’m sick of seeing trolls asking for money for invites makes me not even wanna bother getting involved in that game cuz if I have a hard time finding something, I just ask someone else to get it for me. Even in these forums all these dorks asking for money for invites to torrentleech and other sites, how lame. Just as stupid as gmail invites being auctioned on ebay. I can kind of sympathize with these hackers but I just find the things they did to this poor guy really offensive, most people are on here because they are sick of capitalism, because they don’t like throwing away their life for junk that is just copied and given to them. We are sick of working for squat, and we don’t need this crap anymore, and our way of fighting back is to keep our money in our pocket.
i hate those trolls to, so annoying
this is funny
im going to trust my instinct and say this guy deserved it
“The SuperTorrents BitTorrent tracker has been the subject of a major security breach, with hackers gaining access to private accounts from which the donated all the site’s money to a religious group. The hackers even went as far as contacting _the_ site’s host and canceled all of their seedboxes.”
It should be they, not the.
#21 the first link is dead, care to repost?
thanks
just out of curiosity, what religion did they donate the stolen cash to?
I think these guys are hired. Goons man, I mean, sure if he’s spending his donations on a new lexus then maybe people should be told so they can stop donating. But server costs are a real consideration. These thugs are probably hired by the MPAA to do this kind of shit. Get real, hack shit that needs hacking. Otherwise, your just a fag with a piece.
working for the MPAA is worse than being a coke whore
Someone should do this to SCT, greedy fuckers.

Well guess what? Before there was torrents, people were able to get files just fine. Torrents only make it so morons like you are able to get them and that makes the smart ones who used to be relatively under the radar more at risk. If you can’t afford to pay for a torrent site without begging for donations then you shouldn’t be running one. The worst are sites like this that are pay to leech.
Long live Ebaums, I hope you hack some more of these shitty torrent sites in the future.
I leech and so what? My current ratio on the only private site I’m registered to is .002. If it wasn’t for leechers, you faggots wouldn’t be able to stroke your e-penis by bragging about how high your ratio is.

BTW is it not unfair that ST users donate their hard earned money and then the site owner uses that money to buy a lexus? I mean comon, im sure the users donate money to keep the site running. Not so some teenager can roll around in a lexus.[/quote]
If you could specify how the admin was making enemies / abusing his privileges, that’d be great.
People donating money to his site expected him to use it FOR the site… yes, that does make sense.
But once he’s got the site covered, I think its legit that he spend the remains on himself; personally I have no problem with him putting in the time and money to make the site optimal, then keeping the remainder.
Really, its like tipping a waiter, or patting a bud on the back after he’s finished a big project; “don’t muzzle the ox that’s doing the threshing for you” or whatever.
