Demonoid Down For a Week, Serving Malware Laden Ads

hypnosec tipped us to reports that Demonoid is still down after a suffering a massive DDoS last week, and that the domain is now redirecting to a malware-ridden spam site. Notable for surviving a CRIA mandated shutdown, this may be lights out for the torrent tracker: "To begin, while Demonoid’s admin told us that he would eventually bring the site back online, he clearly has other things on his mind. A really important family event puts a torrent site nowhere near the top of his priorities. ... Demonoid has been experiencing staffing issues this year. As we mentioned in an earlier article, there were rumors that one or maybe more Demonoid staffers had been questioned by authorities about their involvement in the site."

    I've never gotten a virus from warez.
    got one from a porn download once, but that was my own fault. i was about 99% sure that it contained a virus, i opened it anyway to see what my anti-virus would do.

    took me about 5 minutes to clean up the mess, and that was that. turned out to be pretty good porn too.

    but warez? no, never gotten anything from warez.
