Pirate Bay Domain Back Online

Posted by samzenpus on from the we're-back dept.

Zanadou writes On December 9 The Pirate Bay was raided but despite the rise of various TPB clones and rumors of reincarnations, thepiratebay.se domain remained inaccessible, until today. This morning the Pirate Bay's nameservers were updated to ones controlled by their domain name registrar binero.se . A few minutes later came another big change when The Pirate Bay's main domain started pointing to a new IP-address (178.175.135.122) that is connected to a server hosted in Moldova. So far there is not much to see, just a background video of a waving pirate flag (taken from Isohunt.to) and a counter displaying the time elapsed since the December 9 raid. However, the "AES string" looks promising.

      Not quite. Maybe some people think that we should feel bad for going there, but not me (I think human culture is based on sharing whether allowed or not).

      off-topic rant, but why are submissions about the NTP flaw disappearing? I heard about the latest CERT advisory for NTP and saw that there was a slashdot submission about it, but it later disappeared. I submitted a story earlier today (bored at work), and it's now disappeared from the "submissions" list. Here's the link if you're curious: http://slashdot.org/submission...
