CracksNow’ Uploader account spreading Ransomware Torrents
#1
Quote:The popular software uploader CracksNow has denied uploading any torrents that linked ransomware. His accounts at various torrent sites were compromised, he says. While the uploader takes full responsibility, he states that there was no malicious intent on his part. Meanwhile, CracksNow's own site was hacked this week.

It’s no secret that scammers are constantly trying to trick torrent users into downloading malicious content.

These files are generally easy to spot and swiftly removed from well-moderated sites. As such, they are mostly a nuisance for novices.

But, when a well-known uploader with a “trusted’ status on some torrent sites gets involved, things change. Last week Torrentfreak reported that “CracksNow,” who shared tens of thousands of cracked software titles in recent years, had been banned from several sites after posting torrents with ransomware.
