As most of you guys know, yesterday 6621 emails were leaked from MediaDefender. Although we haven't read all of those emails we did make a discovery, it seems that they were using auto-submit tools to upload fake torrents. From now on everybody has to type in a security text (captcha) before we accept any submission. We also came across a large list of ip's (box-banned) and fake trackers (will be removed soon as we need to create a script) (special thanks to Brokep from TPB for the other list).
Stay tuned for updates
Update:
We managed to remove all fake trackers from our database, a total of 5000 torrents were removed, we will run the scripts on a hourly cronjob to make sure the database stays clean. For those of you interested in the fakes, we have a export file with all removed and reported torrents: http://www.meganova.org/fakefile.php
Update:
