Hmmm, it looks like the attack on FTN was picked up by DailyTech, a mainstream tech site with a fairly large readership. So much for FTN's web address being vaguely secret :blink:
EDIT: Some people think that linking to the article is inappropriate, so I've removed it. If you really want to read the piece, it's not that hard to find.
Was it ever secret?
Im glad you're helping :frusty:Quote:

It's not right to do this to people; we should be encouraging sharing, and isolation.
FTN continues to do a great job at handling situations, this will not be an exception.
It's not as if FTN's address was that hard to find in the first place. Hence the use of the word *vaguely*. Posting the link to this story is hardly going to be the end of the site.Quote:

its not that the url is vaguely secret, its that you posted brandon's full name.
lock post for his security man.
^^ Congrats dude - ur video was hilarious
oooh cheesy puffs I like those
I liked your video too
Actually, you can find the nfo even searching for it on google... and of course, the nfo is ALOT more explicit than this article.
Tells alot of details. If the authority gets around it, they know exactly who and where he is.
LOL thx, didnt get the invite yet but will probably soon.Quote:

I assume you meant *odd*. I was actually going for the Lou Dobbs angle to spice things up. Apparently it was a little too subtle. :D Plus, the phrase "War on" is in the title of the article...Quote:

@staff
Do we really NEED yet another FTN/Brandon thread?
most of the information is fake, and even if it was real they didn't put any connection between the name and anything illegalQuote:

what war i don't see any war lol information was fake
Someone DDoSing FTN?
idk whats going on with ftn, but ive heard its fake info, its real, bla bla bla...does it matter really? its not like it would have been hard originally for authorities to get that info on the admin (if it is legit info) if it was available for the scene group to find.
lol its fake thats why its hard to find the info....
the scene war on ftn/other trackers is like the war on drugs. Never ending
Both sides flourish, neither wins
well said:happy:Quote:

Thx coolbeans...saves me a trip to the irc channel. ;)
I'm guessing that's not all they are doing...24 to 48 hrs seems a long time to add a few dimms..
24-48 Hour is the typical time for a ram install. Call your local tech guy if you don't believe me.
Yeah it's true, they'll be back even better in a day or two.
I'm sure your right I'm not 'server savy' so to speak...was just speculating. :)Quote:

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers....
alright then?
it's stupid of people to keep talking of this i think, let it go--people seem to think its bs anyways.
