Hackers from Argentina stole identifying information on users of The Pirate Bay, the most popular BitTorrent site. The hackers even posted a video of their exploit on The Pirate Bay. Hacker Ch Russo said the exploit was to promote his software program, Impassioned Framework. Russo said the information won't go to industry copyright groups.
Argentinean hackers have stolen the e-mail addresses, IP addresses, usernames and passwords of more than four million Pirate Bay users. Pirate Bay is the most popular BitTorrent site, a place to download pirated apps.
This time, it was Pirate Bay that was pirated. A trio of hackers in the Latin American country have claimed responsibility for the attack and even produced a video demonstrating their successful hacking tactics.
"The community caused problems to huge companies and corporations which turned into threats between this companies and them," wrote hacker Ch Russo. "What we have done, we did not do it with anger, or for commercial value. As always, we saw the change, the moment and decided to take it. The protocol or procedure done to achieve this wasn't anything out of the ordinary."
