11.06.2007Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

08.06.2009Office 2010 Has Leaked!
The Technical Preview of Office 2010 has officially leaked! WZor.net uploaded a torrent a few hours ago for both the x86 and x64 versions of the
new Office suite.
Without further ado, I present:
Microsoft Office 2010 (x86)
AND
Microsoft Office 2010 (x64)
The x64
torrent doesn't seem to be very active at the moment, but over time, as it gains more seeders, hopefully it will pick up. We were achieving speeds of
up to 1000kbps during our download of the x86 version, so the torrent is going strong... That is, until the rest of the world picks up on it...
Download quickly!
While you eagerly await the end of your download, check out a screenshot gallery from WZor as well (the version pictured
in the screenshots is the x64 version).

Australia has been known to have high levels of censorship. It should come as no surprise to those in the land down under that the government is

and Bit Torrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial". It is a drastic
step to filter out all P2P and Bit Torrent traffic as it assumes that those channels are only used for piracy. One example of legitimate use is the

23.12.2008NPD: Apple launch of Leopard system its best ever
The launch of Apple Inc's latest operating system, Leopard, was its best ever, a research group said on Monday. When comparing the first full
month of sales of Apple Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard" (November 2007) to the first full month of sales for Mac OS 10.4 "Tiger" (May 2005), dollar volume
for Leopard was up 32.8 percent and unit volume up 20.5 percent, NPD Group Inc said in a statement. Apple, maker of the Macintosh computer, the iPod
digital music player and the iPhone smartphone, started selling Leopard on October 25, after a four-month delay due to the company's work on the
iPhone. The new version of Apple's OS X software costs $129 for a single user and $199 for a "family pack" that can be installed on as
many as five computers in a single household.

16.10.2007"txtor" tool circumvents basic torrent blockers
To the frustration of many students and other avid torrent downloaders, some universities and ISPs have been known to block the download of .torrent
files in an effort to curb illegal file sharing. This quick and dirty method of filtering Internet content is usually done through the use of a proxy
server that will look for a torrent mime-type in the file or, even simpler, the file extension itself. Although this method seems almost too simple to
take seriously, enough admins have found it effective enough to justify its use.
That's why a group of developers launched
txtor today, a site that makes it possible to download .torrent files as if they were text
files. As the site explains, from the user perspective, the service functions very simply. Plug in the URL of a torrent file, and it's translated to
a text file for you to download. For a moderately more technical explanation, the site merely takes the file and changes the mimetype and extension,
then spits it back out at you as a text file in order to bypass proxy-level torrent file blocks. Then, all you need to do is change the file extension
back from .txt to .torrent and open it up in your favorite torrent client. Based on our testing of txtor, we can say that the tool works exactly as
advertised.

10.11.2009Controversy over new Pirate Bay Facebook feature
The Pirate Bay has added a small, but significant feature to their website which will almost certainly prove to be controversial. The new feature is a
link provided on each torrent page which allows users to post the link to the particular torrent onto their Facebook profile. Friends can then begin
to download the particular torrent straight from their Facebook page, assuming a torrent client is installed. Many websites allow their users to do
the very same thing – even Neowin allows its users to submit news articles to Facebook; however the controversy lies in just what users will be
