SuperTorrents recently fell victim to an attack by alleged ‘Scene’
members who revealed the site owner’s identity. Further action was
promised against torrent sites and today another tracker admin’s life
has been turned upside down. The attacker’s message: “Destroying The
P2P’s, One Step at a Time”
At the end of last year Torrentfreak reported
on the unfortunate fate of Ersan, the administrator of SuperTorrents.
He suffered multiple security breaches which revealed his identity
along with the loss of $2000 in donations. Scene notices (text files
carrying news/other info) carried lots of the gory details, with one
ending in a threat: “cellkill is next”.
It seems that “cellkill” - the administrator of Feedthe.net (also
known as FTN) has become the group’s latest BitTorrent victim, exactly
as promised. In yet another notice with the header “Destroying The
P2Ps, One Step at a Time”, part of the justification for the attack
reads:
Many have heard of him, but have never spoke to him,
for a p2per word of him has come far as the scene. [real name removed],
the owner of another torrent site called FeedThe.Net (FTN). His Torrent
site steals thousands after thousands of releases from the scene, and
then he has the nerve to go and say to other P2P’s STOP STEALING
RELEASES FROM US?!??!? ILL BAN YO ASS! But wait, how is this even
possible??
[real name removed] isn’t on the “Staff” page yet he’s still banning
people, posting news and running the entire site. Mr. [removed], did
you really think you were gonna leave without us giving you a goodbye
present? Guess again ;-)”
The grim reality becomes clear as detail after detail of this
admin’s personal life is revealed. His real name, date of birth, place
of residence, personal email addresses, home ISP and IP address, places
of education, friends, family - it’s quite a grim read.......
