Anti-Piracy Outfits Launch Attack on BitTorrent Protocol

[silicon_toad2000]

According to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) in Poland, BitTorrent’s uTP protocol is under attack.

The security experts have observed a massive spike in activity compared to 2011, originating from centralized locations in Russia, Canada, China, Australia and the USA.

Perhaps of even more interest, CERT also notes that the poisoning attack, or anomaly as they call it, may very well breach cybersecurity law.

Good.  Bad.  Right.  Wrong.  Amoral or otherwise.  Surely it's legal, right?  RIGHT?!

I laugh.   Crap like this brings out my bad side.  /sigh
