Slashdot Mirror
Trojan Found At Torrent Sites Insists "Downloading Is Wrong"
NoisySplatter writes "Ernesto, founder of TorrentFreak, reports that a new trojan, 'Troj/Qhost-AC,' has been distributed on The Pirate Bay. The virus was disguised as a serial key generator, and the offending torrent has since been removed, but the source has not been identified. Troj/Qhost-AC makes changes to the user's hosts file that redirects The Pirate Bay, Suprbay, and Mininova to 127.0.0.1. In addition to making three popular torrent sites inaccessible, the virus also plays a sound file that says: 'downloading is wrong.' It looks like someone has finally stepped up to the plate to challenge Madonna for the title of 'Most Obnoxious Anti-Piracy Stunt.' Of course, this could just be the software industry's attempt at outdoing the RIAA and MPAA."
How about the seed I squirted into your mother's cervix last night? Now go back to suckling Mitch Bainwol's drippling, flaccid penis and leave the rest of us alone, dipshit.
I wonder if the ever agenda driven Slashdot would get a little butt hurt if somebody took one of their open-source programs or Linux; they closed sourced it to make it proprietary and hosted it on a torrent website.
The pitchforks and torches would be marching.
Jail time for a rootkit, geez and here I thought the RIAA might have been a little psycho.
I even knew as a kid that Warez was not good when pirating all those first camera recording of 'The Phantom Menace'.
These are WAREZ groups who release this stuff, not freedom fighters. The WAREZ(torrent) websites and scene have always been like this, with certain trojan viruses inserted all the time.
No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful.
very funny. now go to hell.
