In what may be the biggest leak on bitorrent of all time, MediaDefender is the center of the limelight. This news, which is about a week old, has started to hit its peak. In case you don't know what happened, here's the scoop. A site called MediaDefender is hell bent on protecting the insane copyright laws of the U.S. They unofficially protect and are backed by the RIAA and the MPAA. Hackers and pirates alike have had their sites set on MediaDefender for a long time. They started a site called MiiVi (offline) which hosted .torrent files that had spyware and rootkits that would attempt to find all pirated software. Of course, MediaDefender denied this.
Now, hackers have taken a large amount of emails, a phone call, and personal IP address from the company. In the emails, it has been found that they posted false torrents to "IP farm". So far, MediaDefender has made no official statement, but I'm sure it will be good when it breaks.
This is a developing story and it will explode over the next few weeks. I currently have a copy of the emails and the phone conversation. I'll be searching through for any saucy info that would concern you.
