Pirated Screener Dump Stops After ‘Security Breach’

The people responsible for posting more than a dozen leaked DVD-screeners over the past several days have stopped their dump. Various sources cite a security breach as the reason for the sudden change, which likely means that many of the 40 promised leaks might never reach the public at large.

security-breach-lock Over the past several days more than a dozen high quality screeners of Hollywood films have appeared online, including The Hateful Eight, The Revenant and Steve Jobs.

Devastated Hollywood studios are now working with the FBI to catch the perpetrators, with some success.

Last week they traced The Hateful Eight leak back to a Hollywood executive and the feds are currently looking into additional leads.

The main targets in this case are individuals connected to the release group Hive-CM8. They’ve released the majority of the DVD screeners that are out at the moment and earlier promised to leak a total of 40.

However, it now appears that their releasing spree has come to an end.

Comments made by an insider on a private torrent site claim that a recent “expose” of a torrent uploader has something to do with it. This information was posted on various sites including KAT and in the TF comment section.

The person responsible for the expose, who uses the screen name Sup3rman, contacted TorrentFreak to provide his side of the story.

After reading an article about how easy it can sometimes be for law enforcement to catch movie pirates, he decided to test this theory on someone who uploaded many Hive-CM8 releases. To do this, he looked at the source of the movie screenshots and found that they were linked to an image sharing account with thousands of images.

All this info was (and is) rather public as the screenshots were posted with the torrent uploads. Also, everyone could see where they were hosted and figure out that the account name in question matched that of the torrent uploader.

However, not everyone close to the release group appreciated the “exposure” and as a result the public Hive-CM8 releases were halted. Hive-CM8 has not commented on the break but on a separate site he wrote that he won’t be available for some time.

On first sight the ‘leaked’ information doesn’t appear to be anything new or particularly private. However, it certainly appears that something spooked the group or uploader into halting the releases.

The reported break is confirmed by the lack of new releases over the past day or two, which is the longest gap since the first DVD screener was posted. Interestingly, however, The Big Short and Anomalisa have been published in private, or ‘internally’ as it’s known.

At the end of the day many questions remain. Could it really be that the exposed image account is the sole reason for stopping the public releases? Or is something else going on behind the scenes?

There’s no point in speculating any further at this point or drawing connections that may be totally irrelevant, but one has to wonder.

But there’s always room for improvement, so Samsung has introduced what it’s calling the “first all-in-one health solution chip.” The Samsung Bio-Processor is a single chip with an integrated microntroller, power management circuit, […]

PSA: Duke Nukem classics being removed from GOG store, going on sale

Kick ass and chew bubble gum for 90% off before they’re gone at year’s end.

If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to buy Duke Nukem 3D again, digital download service GOG is giving you ample reason to get a move on. The first-person shooter classic and three other Duke Nukem titles are being offered for $2.36—90% off the normal price—from now until the end of 2015 (10:59am GMT on December 31, to be precise). The original Duke Nukem 3D is available individually for $1.49 if the extra buck means more to you than the somewhat forgettable ancillary Duke titles.

If the low price isn’t enough reason to make a move, know too that all the Duke Nukem titles will be leaving GOG’s storefront when 2015 ticks over into 2016. After December 31, GOG says that the games “will be removed from our catalog, but we are in talks with the new rightsholders to bring them back as swiftly as possible.”

Those who purchase the games before their removal from the store will still be able to download and view them in their GOG account into 2016 and beyond. The Duke Nukem series is also currently available on Steam, where it has also been discounted during the Steam Winter Sale.

Are smartphones with 6GB of RAM on the way?

Some smartphone makers try to make their handsets stand out by cramming an insane amount of pixels into the display. Others opt for extra-long battery life. But there’s another battlefront in the smartphone spec arms race: RAM. This year we started to see smartphones with 4GB of RAM. Next year we might see the first […]
