OiNK update

**GoodOmens** · 10-24-2007, 10:26 PM

An interesting tibit dug up on torrentfreak:

a source has stated that the OiNK membership list was not only encrypted, but also equipped with a ’self-destruct’ type mechanism which relied on a regular signal to continue in ‘OFF’ mode.

Should be comforting to all the users^^

For the record, from Paine's blog:
Edit 2: This is an important one -- Your passwords do NOT need to be changed, they were stored as salted MD5 hashes. All the authorities have is the hashes. The only way they can get the original passwords is via brute force. The chances of that are slim to none if you followed standard good password practice.

this is the first good news since the start of all this!
we need a place for current/old members to congregate but we will just have to wait!

Ugh, I just found out about this today.

This is sad and I really do hope that this isn't the end for OiNK. It was the best music torrent site, period.
