Let’s see… Haven’t logged in to the email/personal account I got together with the internet subscription from my isp… since 3-4 years back…

=> Chances I’ll find myself reading this email ~0%.

…And it would not make much sense for them to send them to the web mails I use, even if, or rather especially if valid, they wouldn’t exactly be able to prove any connections… (of course I understand that the above creates some risk for the connection if unread VALID warnings keep piling in the ‘unused’ account, but I choose not to worry too much.)

Isn’t it a felony in the u.s. to knowingly send a virus to another person?

What’s the problem? We’ll just start a new site. It’s not like we really have to keep using TPB – Let’s just start The Pirate Lake or something.

A company I’ve never heard of claims to have bought The Pirate Bay.

LOL. You have to be a rather ignorant person to buy an exe being some sort of a report. I’d like to think torrent users are mostly smarter than that – or perhaps some aren’t, but they might be getting a lesson very soon…

Surely pirates don’t buy anything of the internet, ergo have no need to enter banking details.

I’d never dl any of that BS, but I got a nasty trojan on my computer thanks to TPB when it was all messed up and redirecting my traffic. Had to reformat the ‘ol PC, I wish this on not even my worst enemies because it disables all anti-virus software – and believe me I tried every single option out there!

This type of bot is nothing new, just the way its being sent.
