There have been numerous trackers that have been hit by this hacker in the past day or 2.

He takes over a Sysops account and sends a Mass PM to all users, stating that if they donate $50 they will receive 1TB of upload onto their stats.

This is obviously false information, but quite a few have been caught out by this and donated to him.

Just be careful if you donate to a site, click the Paypal Logo and make sure the proper e-mail is there that the site usually uses.

I have heard he has hit quite a lot of sites.

This is just a heads up to be careful, there is no source, apart from me and what i have heard over the last 24 hours or so.

That's kinda sad to hear and noobie members. Thanks for noticing us!

Yeah, I saw BitSoup got hit by this same hacker apparently. Thanks for the warning.

It's a bit concerning that they can actually do that though. I'd like to feel more secure using a website.

I assume he did, but it's a smart thing off the hacker cause usually sites who needs donations they get an email i.e.: [email protected]. Can't blame. :/

Stay away from that paypal account, and if you've already sent money to that account please make sure you report it to paypal.

and now we talking abouth all this security of sites but when i see something like this when some hacker can very easily get sysop acc and all other info aswell.It seems some things will never change

Erm...how the hell is this guy managing to get sysop status? He must have found one hell of an exploit/hole. :ermm:

Or he could be targeting the sysops directly...there are a number of ways he can steal their info then he just needs to log into their account and viola. This seems to me to be the most likely, though it's definitely possible for him to hack the site directly.

This shoudn't happend in this first place and u now telling that he is not good?..i can only guess since it seems he dont need much work to get what he needs.

and also this is just empty words like *he wont be doing it again for awhile* oh come on...(I'm talking in general for all this sites that been hacked )

Some sites are more secure than others, but come on, if a hacker can get into the FBI or NSA then im sure a torrent tracker will be a pretty easy target, doesnt matter how many scripts we have on there.

Nothing, and i mean Nothing is secure on the net, you might believe it is, but its not.

All we can do is plug all the obvious holes, and some not so obvious, some trackers obviously had a hole, others didnt, im pleased to say we didnt this time around.

This happened to one of my sysops last year.

Someone sent me and him a link, saying it was a replica site of ours, and someone was getting accounts/passwords getting members to sign into it.

Of course, he clicked the link (so did i will be honest but we went first) and it had a cookie grabber on. within 2 minutes he was locked out of his account, (even though we didnt know this till 30 minutes later) and we had a bit in the control panel, where you could execute MYSQL queries. (Which came with the source we were using btw, we didnt put it there).

so he just ran a truncate the database query, in a split second everything was gone, into thin air, and we didnt have any backups (we had just started a couple of months earlier, on the host we were on and with the source we were using).

The good part about this is, hopefully trackers that have been affected, and even those that have not, will look even more closely at their code, and fix any holes they see.

But nothing is unhackable if your good enough.

This sounds intersting, how do you take over a sysop acc anyway.

No really thats how you do it :P
I there was a exploit on tbedv, regarding shoutbox, that let you become owner on the site. But its an extremely obvious one, so i most places get it patched.

In your eyes this guy is probably good, but if you ask a real cracker he will tell you the opposite :lol:

I think the sysop is a member here. That sucks. Good tracker. It's a complete utter waste of time, life and space. I don't get it, some people just don't have nothing better to do in life, but make others miserable. Hacking donations?

stoi

i thought it was for your sick mother, and how is it going back to the community?

i heard you have salad.tl now, which means you stole it for a server to put your tracker on, which also means you have a tracker to get more cash, which also means your in this for profit not for the community.

bottom line is you stole it, and you spammed members emails, if you havnt heard, thats not considered good practice in any walk of life, never mind just P2P.

but whatever if people are daft enough to sign up for that site, and donate, more fool them, god knows what info your collecting on them now, and i would never trust a site that started off in such an underhanded way.
