  1. The PS4 homebrew scene can enjoy not one but two new releases thanks to a team of modders including sleirsgoevy and AlAzif. Released at the same time are the Mira custom firmware compatible with PS4s on firmware 7.55 and an updated jailbreak also for PS4s on version 7.55. The exploit and payloads are also compatible with versions 7.50 and 7.51. However, they are still early releases with the exploit reportedly taking several tries before successfully running it. But you can expect some fixes in the days to come.
  2. Swedish ISP Telia has handed over more information about its customers to so-called copyright troll law firms than any other in the country. However, it now appears to have gone one step further by handing over subscriber information to a law firm despite being told by a court not to do so. So-called copyright-trolling is big business, particularly in the United States and Europe. After trawling BitTorrent swarms for IP addresses allegeldy connected to the unlawful sharing of movies and TV shows, rightsholders move to identify the subscribers behind them. The purpose is to extract a cash settlement from the alleged wrongdoers but that can only be achieved after obtaining their real identities. That requires a court order compelling ISPs to hand over their subscribers’ personal data so that law firms can contact them by mail, suggesting that a lawsuit can be avoided if a sum of money is handed over. Sweden’s Copyright Troll Problem In 2020, law firms acting for these so-called copyright trolls obtained permission to force Swedish ISPs to hand over the personal details of subscribers behind 46,200 IP addresses. The vast majority of these, according to data compiled by Swedish ISP Bahnhof (which has never handed over customer information), were actioned by ISP Telia, which handed over the personal details behind 34,189 IP addresses in 2020 alone. However, according to an investigation carried out by Swedish news publication DN.se (paywall), Telia also handed over subscriber information when it was told it should not. Telia Exposes 55 Customers to Piracy Allegations When rightsholders want to access ISP subscriber information in Sweden they file an action at the Patent and Market Court. After assessing the submissions, the Court almost always gives its approval to a discovery process, which requires ISPs to hand over names and addresses behind the supplied IP addresses. On February 4, 2020, Telia was ordered to disclose the personal information of some customers but in other cases the Court decided against disclosure, meaning that Telia was not allowed to hand over the information requested in the applications. In the event, Telia failed to follow the instructions of the Court and handed over the personal details of 55 subscribers to law firm Next Advokater regardless. Law Firm Refuses To Discuss What Happened Next Telia has admitted that it handed over the restricted information to the law firm but what happened next is unclear. Next Advokater refused to inform DN whether the 55 Telia customers were sent a settlement letter or not. The law firm also declined to confirm whether any settlements were paid in response to any letters. Precisely why Telia disclosed the subscriber details to the law firm contrary to the Court’s instructions is unclear but at the moment it is being described as a mistake, one that the company is taking very seriously. Telia’s assessment indicates that the risk of negative consequences for its subscribers is high. It has contacted the affected subscribers and offered its apologies. Action By Telia To Prevent Similar Errors Moving forward, Telia says it is reviewing its systems to prevent the same error from being made in the future but the question remains whether the ISP will be punished for the security breach. Handing over private subscriber information to a party that has already been denied access to information is a serious matter, particularly when a court is behind the non-disclosure order. Add to that the intentions of the law firm, including applying maximum pressure to pay a settlement or even to sue, then the distress caused to Telia’s customers could be significant.
  3. Last week law enforcement agencies in Europe shut down Mobdro, now described as the world's largest pirate IPTV app. At least in part, Mobdro raised revenue by giving its users the option to have their devices join the Luminati proxy network. According to Luminati's CEO, the company was completely unaware of the investigation. Last Tuesday, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) reported that police had made one arrest and detained three people for questioning in connection with the pirate streaming app Mobdro. As one of the newer breeds of standalone piracy apps, Mobdro offered live TV, sports channels and 24/7 content presented in an easy-to-use interface. Over the years Mobdro’s popularity sky-rocketed although there appears to be a disagreement among law enforcement agencies on the exact number of users. On March 10, Eurojust said that 43 million users had downloaded the app yet a day later, Europol more than doubled that estimate to 100 million users. Either way, Mobdro was huge and in a developing case, there is more to report. Europol now says that after three house searches (two in Spain, one in Andorra) four people were arrested and 20 domains were blocked under the authority of four court orders. In addition, bank accounts containing unspecified sums of money were frozen. Mobdro Revenue Generation One thing that both Eurojust and Europol agree on is the amount of money believed to have been generated by Mobdro. According to both agencies, the people behind the app made more than €5 million in illegal profits. Eurojust doesn’t say where that revenue came from but Europol is prepared to offer more detail. “The Spanish company behind the illegal activity earned its profits through advertisements,” Europol confirms. While any number of advertising companies could have been working with Mobdro, that wasn’t the only way the app generated income. As reported in April 2019, Mobdro was criticized in a security study for including a system that made it possible for a “threat actor” to log in to a user’s device and then navigate away from the device to the Internet, effectively posing as the user online. While this sounds scary, this was actually a ‘feature’ that Mobdro users opted into, to avoid seeing any advertising in the app. Users who made that choice found themselves being asked to consent to a EULA before their idle devices could be utilized by the Luminati proxy network. From there on in, their IP addresses and bandwidth could be used by others, as per the agreement. Europol doesn’t mention Luminati by name but the use of certain terminology piqued our interest. “Through the computer infrastructure and power, [the operators of Mobdro] were able to sell user information to a company related to botnet and DDoS attacks,” Europol explains. Given that an industry-funded study had already highlighted that Mobdro used Luminati, and that earlier reports indicated that Luminati’s network had been illegally used to launch a DDoS attack, it seems likely that Europol is talking about Luminati. The big questions, then, are whether Luminati appreciates this characterization and whether it is now part of the criminal investigation into Mobdro. Luminati Was “Not Aware” Of Mobdro Investigation “Luminati is not currently and has not been in any way involved in the law enforcement investigation against Mobdro. In fact, we were not aware of the reported investigation until recent press coverage,” Luminati CEO Or Lenchner informs TorrentFreak. “We have zero tolerance to illegal activities. When it came to our attention that Mobdro (a publisher which was using our commercial SDK) had been subject to a law enforcement investigation for alleged copyright infringement, we suspended their right to use our SDK.” It’s not clear how many of Mobdro’s users (Eurojust says 43 million, Europol 100 million) chose to remove ads and join Luminati but even just a small percentage would’ve added significant numbers of IP addresses to the Isreal-based company’s network. According to Lenchner, this would not be connected to illegal activity. Luminati provides services to Fortune 500, academic, and public sector organizations for entirely legal end-uses. “Luminati’s SDK is in no way connected to the alleged copyright infringement, as should be the case for any other SDKs that Mobdro was using,” he explains. “App publishers offer their customers to join the Luminati proxy network in return for using their app without advertising, thus enabling them to have a better user experience. “Publishers choose Luminati because an improved user experience leads to increased engagement. Enterprises use Luminati’s proxy network to collect open/public information on the Web such as product pricing, for ad verification and for fraud prevention.” Lenchner says that any users who opted to join the Luminati proxy network are protected by a “stringent and compliant KYC (Know Your Customer) process.” Luminati’s CEO says no data is collected about these users and their connections were only used for “pre-approved business/use cases.” In the event that any users of Mobdro clicked the EULA without reading it, they are able to review what their connections could have been used for here.
  4. I thought this would be about D'n'B and Jungle, but it's Bruce Springsteen bootlegs
  5. I remember this being very popular back in the day, in the same league as Empornium and Pornbay. But now it doesn't hold well against the other two sites.
  6. What is this. Another failed attempt of someone trying to play torrent tracker?
  7. Yeah everyone that joins here gets a free invite to a tracker of their choice. Welcome, Enjoy.
