Hacker after donations!!

stoi · stoi

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.: donationsT@gmail.com. Can't blame. :/

No, he claimed he was in BCG to another tracker owner, but he wasnt.
