XDedic, Underground Market For Hacked Servers, Resurfaces On Tor Domain (threatpost.com)

Reader msm1267 writes: The defunct xDedic marketplace has resurfaced again, this time on a Tor network domain. The marketplace provides a platform for buying and selling of hacked servers. Its original open web domain, xdedic[,]biz, had disappeared shortly after a June 15 Kaspersky Lab report on its activities. The original market had upwards of 70,000 hacked servers for sale from more than 400 unique sellers. It's unknown how much inventory is being peddled on the new site, which was uncovered by researchers at Digital Shadows, who found a post on a Russian and French criminal forum pointing to a Tor domain as the new home of xDedic. The new site has the same look and feel as the old one, but Digital Shadows said accounts had not been transferred, and that there is now a $50 USD enrollment fee to join the new market.

    CIA.bait.slashdot figures it would be a nice time to entice readers to seek the false sense of security that the new compromised versions of Tor clients provide.

    nah, CIA. y'all gay.

    I am not OP but mod it up. They immediately modded this -1.

    Hiding what shouldn't be conspicuous is a dead giveaway that it matters stupid fuckers.

    You have a 6 digit user # and are still this stupid? It is an .iso of a live filesystem. It is Linux aka open source. It is the same Tails that Ed Snowden used.. the one the US gov hates so much. Hence they infiltrated the organization the same way the FBI get hired on at Debian.

    eg.

    But being in-the-know as I am, it is not the NSA but the CIA who deliberately compromised their code.

    That torrent is safe and you can check the sig and shasum if you want to, or go to forums of the site that posted it. It matches the original downloaded 1.4.1 that I downloaded when originally distributed back in the days. It is the only one I've seen that matches the sig and shasum.

    Also, mother fucking OverlordQ your time is up. Q aka James Bond movies aka CIA cunt secret phonetic messages that you do not even understand but were some similitude of the transexual-written Matrix movie.

    Die mother fucker die. :)

    Was this post due to a lack of meds or is there actually meat behind it? Inquiring minds want to know, can anyone explain what it means?
