As you can see they have made threat for the next release which is due to be within the next weeks and they also warn about using the “RevTT” torrent site.

The attacks has most likely effected many users across many different torrent trackers and the RevTT site is currently down and displaying this message.

www is down, tracker is up. all users on the list have had their passkeys reset
www should be up tomorrow sometime after a few tweaks. just to be clear the DB was NOT hacked.

more info once the sites backup

So they claim they have not had a Database hack, so then what type of hack was it that allowed the Afghanistan hackers to obtain the 50k usernames and passwords.

The leak file is a 648kb file and can be viewed with mx word or any other RTF viewer.
