This means the malicious third party is now in possession of most of our users' torrent client information (seeding IP, client port, torrents seeded). As far as we can observe their immediate goal is downloading a huge part of our library, but we do not know if they have further plans with the collected data.”</p><p>The attack is notable because it comes against a private torrent tracker that requires users to be invited or to pass through an interview process."</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/major-private-music-torrenting-site-suffers-massive-peer-scraping-attack/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/major-private-musi</span><span class="invisible">c-torrenting-site-suffers-massive-peer-scraping-attack/</span></a></p>
