Has TPB been compromised?

[Ravager88]

Now that the site is back up, I am seeing some very troubling things.

1. Torrents with high seed that had been made by VIPs and other Trusted Uploaders are now missing.

2. Many of these torrents were re-upped yesterday but they were uploaded from suspicious looking user names like "jsdfkje4t3434" and "asjhkjvh77" and "bfjsdf4343323".

3. None of those are VIPs or Trusted Uploaders. In fact, the records show that each and every one of those users was created yesterday.

4. Not a single upload has been made so far that did not originate from a user account more than 24 hours old.

5. There have been absolutely 0 comments made on any torrents since then.

6. There have been no announcements at all as to what might be going on. 

I have an account and was able to log in, so there has not been a system wide "reset" of user accounts.

First of all i can asure you tpb isnt compromised

2.: those are "scammers/spammers" uploading fake torrents. Theyve been around forever. They will get removed once noticed by an mod.
You can alsl report those users yourself: https://pirates-forum.org/Forum-Report-T...s-Comments

4. How do you know that? Stats about uploading arent always correct. Search for a user like tvteam or any frequent uploader and i bet they uploaded.

5. Ok.

6. Announcement of what? The downtime? Trust me if something bad happens to tpb you will read it on these forums

I believe the logic goes like this: as they have not announced that they have not been compromised they have obviously been compromised. Now, I know what you're thinking: if someone compromised a website they would not be above lying and announcing that they had not compromised it. Which is true. But in fact the fact that no such announcement has been made actually proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the site has been compromised because anyone smart enough to compromise a Top 100 website would not be dumb enough to give the game away by making an obviously bogus announcement. I say obviously bogus because if we hadn't been compromised then there would really be no need to announce that so any such announcement would obviously be bogus.

Duh!

Yes, the users were created yesterday. You can fucking click the user link and see that for every one of the users I mentioned, all of the torrents that they uploaded was uploaded between 2/28/18 and 3/2/18. I'm talking about torrents of things released months, even years ago, and torrents of things like HD movies that are less than 100 MB in size. Obvious scammers/malware.
To add to the sketch factor, now the site looks perfectly normal again. So again, I would like to hear from an admin WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED??? If it was just a big roll of scammers and now it's under control and your just trying to shrug it off as part of damage control, just say so, I would understand. If you had some servers crash and lost a bunch of data that needed to be re-uploaded, SAY SO, shit happens. But lying to us and hiding behind your BS bravado does nothing to endear you to your users. I would happily have my old TPB/KAT community back. But they are gone, leaving sites like this to languish in the hands of utter fraudsters. I came back here from 1337x and RARBG and TorrentLeech and others in a search for an obscure program. It is nice to see that my decision was the right one.
How about this? EVERYTHING on this site is sketchy as fuck these days. With all the crypto mining with no opt out, and all the sleazy malware ads and redirects, the old TPB's would roll in their metaphorical graves if they saw this place now.

Oh well if you didn't believe me before then that MUST prove it. Obviously the site wouldn't look normal if everything was normal would it...wait...what?

Sorry dude, you are not as special as you mommy told you you are. We don't report to you.

But lying to us and hiding behind your BS bravado does nothing to endear you to your users.

Entitled users like you I couldn't give a fuck about endearing myself to. In fact I would prefer you to go away, you're a tosser and you stink the place up.

And yet here you are.

The guy only read what sid said. Completly ignored my post.

Guess he feels special and only listen to the crew.
With his weird ass theories.

[Sid]

Which is ironic, doncha think, since if we have been compromised the [alleged] crew are the last people he should be listening to.

Though, now I think about it, his posts do make a lot more sense if you figure he is listening to his pet hamster. Hamsterkind hates us because they claim the hamsters powering our servers are being exploited. That is not true. Sure they aren't paid first world wages but they live in the fucking third world. And nobody with any sense believes a word they say--they are fucking rodents after all--would you trust a rat?
