#492An intern once thought it was a good idea to torrent a couple of Game of Thrones episodes using my startup's Digital Ocean box. We found out after Digital Ocean forwarded us an email from HBO (who presumably tracked Digital Ocean down via the IP) that we were engaging in piracy. We sent an email to everyone with access, saying whoever was doing it to stop. Then we got a second email (a final warning). Everyone denied…
Game of Thrones was the most pirated TV show in history. I remember when the first 4 episodes of season 5 were leaked at once. Christmas came early!
Yup. Entirely HBO's fault too. I don't know why they didn't offer HBO GO with a paid subscription. Missed out on so many sales.

#493- Was 26 - Moved into company apartment - Torrented stuff - Company received a $30k lawsuit for downloading porn on company network - Hear CEO talking to lawyers (open office) - 99% sure it was me - Come clean to CEO - Was actually another c-suite who forgot they were logged into the VPN
> Come clean to CEO
Talk about integrity. I'd give you a raise after this if you were my employee.

I knew him well and he was well-liked and professionally well-regarded throughout at least my division of the company. He was a high-energy, tireless guy with great ideas and worked nearly daily with senior-level management, often traveling with them all over the world. I, along with a whole lot of others, were absolutely dumbstruck by his profound fall from grace.
Ye I guess seeming like a nice person doesn't prove or disprove anything, but lets not dive to far into your colocated worker's case, but generally. I had a malware once that distributed (legal) porn. Since then I have had that in the back of my head when reading about child porn. I mean, what more effective way to ruin someones life by framing without having to involve yourself physically by planting drugs etc. It d…
It's possible. I remember reading about forums on the dark net a while ago where some hackers were advertising their services where you pay them bitcoin and they plant child porn on any target's computer. Then presumably you report them to the FBI or whatever and they are arrested. You know the rest.
If hackers can encrypt your entire hard drive holding it ransom without you knowing, this attack seems even easier.

Jesus, do you not wonder if maybe he was framed? I guess it’s a bit of a roundabout way to frame someone, and unlikely to work on anyone who keeps an eye on their running processes... but damn.
> and unlikely to work on anyone who keeps an eye on their running processes
Rootkits are a thing. It would be perfectly reasonable for a criminal to intentionally use one to hide a process doing illicit things on their own computer from prying eyes.

On the other hand, people with that kind of evil inside of them don't go around letting everyone know. They keep it secret and hide it well. Most of the time. So it's not entirely surprising that when that happens to someone you never would have expected it.

> I mean, what more effective way to ruin someones life by framing without having to involve yourself physically by planting drugs etc. It doesn't even have to be a specific target that is framed, but a target.
There’s a subplot where this happens in the comic 100 Bullets.

You probably have a dynamic IP address so someone else downloaded it on the address you are using now. I have a static IP and its showing all kinds of linux ISOs and other random crap that either I or someone else on the network downloaded.

I remember getting an abuse warning from Hetzner as one of our employees was seeding (legal) files via a p2p file sharing framework (IPFS I think?) and the client on his machine sent out broadcast and port scanning requests over the VPN into our Hetzner infrastructure. Hetzner is quite nice in that they dont' immediately block your servers, other providers are less lenient though and such stuff can quickly get your i…
I don't understand what's wrong with port scanning or broadcasting to your own infrastructure that you pay for?
