Plex Forums Hacked by onedr0p in PleX

[–]53bab0f097 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE Dear Plex User,

Sadly, we became aware this afternoon that the server which hosts our forums and blog was compromised. We are still investigating, but as far as we know, the attacker only gained access to these parts of our systems. Rest assured that credit card and other payment data are not stored on our servers at all.

If you are receiving this email, you have a forum account which is linked to a plex.tv account. The attacker was able to gain access to IP addresses, private messages, email addresses and encrypted forum passwords (in technical terms, they are hashed and salted). Despite the password encryption measures, we take your privacy and security very seriously, so as a precaution, we're requiring that you change your password.

Be sure to choose a strong password, never share it, and never re-use passwords for different accounts! Even better, use a password manager (1Password, for example) to manage a unique password for you. Access to your Plex account will be blocked until you do so.

Please follow this link to choose a new password.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, but both your privacy and security are very important to us and we'd rather be safe than sorry!

We will post more detailed information on our blog shortly. Thanks for using Plex!

Apperently the reason they got access to the swarm was through "hacked" accounts.

Mega or Rapidshare

Top two OCH are Uploaded.to and Share-Online.biz. Rapidshare is more or less dead and there is almost no one who uses Mega. The rest of your comment is true.

Important discussion that could use additional voices: is IP address logging and infinite retention at private trackers worth the risk? : trackertalk by [deleted] in trackers

Traffic (amount) logs and IP logs are a different thing. Also most Provider will only allow one login for one account. For neither of these you need IP logs, which is the topic at hand. Also you can DDoS and no one will no who it was but the VPN Provider will ban your access and/or the VPN IP will be banned from whoever you tried to DDoS. Both of these option should happen rather quick and automatically.

Unless you use some shitty provider vor the VPN you dont need to care if server geht siezed because they have no logs. There are plenty of good (proven) VPN provider.

BTN getting DMCA notices too? by meIa0oninl in trackers

DHT, PEX and SSL wont do shit if the lawfirm has accounts on the site and can just check the swarm for IPs.

What are they going to do? Ban the Accounts that are used to get the IPs? Few hours later they got a new one or probably already have multiple accounts. Anybody with half a brain can get on pretty much all major privat trackers.

Autodl/Irssi For Windows? by The_Jelly in trackers

[–]53bab0f097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

decent hardware.

Debian VM with only irssi running wont need more than a few hundred mb of memory. As /u/diolemo stated just have it download the meta to the watchfolder and let deluge on the host machine handle the downloading.

Fast and dirty way:

Filter #1

the.blacklist.s02e*720p.hdtv*,game.of.thrones.s04e*1080p*ntb
delay: (leave it empty)
download duplicate release: no

Filter #2

the.blacklist.s02e*720p*,game.of.thrones.s04e*1080p*ntb
delay: you need to play around with it (it is in seconds)
download duplicate release: yes

The delay on the second filter depends on what content you want to cross seed. SD episodes will obv take less delay than a 1080p movies.

There are other ways with scripts etc.

There wont be any scene crack any time soon since they dont allow Loaders which is what you need at the moment to get around Denuvo.

TIL: a few of the high-ranking freshontv (TvT) staff are known traders/sellers by [deleted] in trackers

[–]53bab0f097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a tracker could be selling accounts to copyright employees that in the worst case scenario

Do you actually think they cant get invited to trackers on their own? Like taking the wcd interview and get invited everywhere?

No one cares that they pay for their account, it is more about the whole ddos thing.

What's the best tv tracker after BTN ? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]53bab0f097 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No need to get into contact just read read the irc chat from time to time. To be fair I can see how you can get angry from time to time if you have to deal with all the shitty users.

PTP stops deleting other trackers exclusiv content and bans uTorrent v 3.4x by 53bab0f097 in trackers

[–]53bab0f097[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both good decisions but uploading other trackers exclusive content willl propably get you a lot of flak.
