Thepiratebay just deleted the lulzsec torrent "50 days of lulz" , reason theres some virus in it. Thepiratebay does not allow files that are mislabeled, or contain virus/trojan's, or child pornography. Being as how this torrent was extremely popular, it may have infected 100's of thousands of people already. Lulzsec's account on thepiratebay was not banned so they are cleared to upload the same torrent again without the alleged "trojan".

sceners are nothing like hackers ill tell you how it works.

group cracks game, group has its own FTP site hosted somewhere very very most likely 1000mbit.

group lets people called "couriers" have access to this site they are extremely trusted people who also have contacts and access to other release groups FTPs these "couriers" FXP transfer from one site to another they race each other just like the groups do.
if you win a race you get an allowance in GB on the website

now you have a whole bunch of sites the different couriers are competing to get the releases to starting at the very top and working all the way down like a family tree so to speak getting less importaint on the way down.

generally a courier has his own FTP dump site hosted somewhere on 100mbit generally from someone on the BBB isp in sweden. usually they transfer to there and then elsewhere after so they dont waste loads of there data amount.

everything is very decentralised and very hard to track all the way to the top.

P2P like torrents etc is at the very bottom the real scene has no contact with P2P at all they dont care about releasing games for the public they only do it to race other groups.

some of the groups that were busted at the start of the scene busts were ran by very succesful people in the real world

/me wonders how you know soo much! :cool:
 
Another one arrested.

The FBI has arrested a man it claims is a key member of hacking group LulzSec.

Cody Kretsinger, who is believed to go by the hacker handle "Recursion", was arrested during a morning raid on his home in Phoenix, Arizona.

The FBI believes Mr Kretsinger was behind a series of attacks on Sony Pictures Entertainment and helped to distribute data stolen in the hack.

Raids were also carried out in four other US cities to arrest members of the Anonymous hacking group.


Have any of them gone to court yet?
