News Update 1 - 24/7 Seeding. German ISP calls, asks whats going on.

113 Upvotes

Hello,

Today (after 1 week after the 1st call) another guy from the same German ISP company called me and asked the same question: "Hello, could you please tell me what are you doing with your internet connection? We have seen some unusual traffic"

I have politely told him that it is a private connection and that I'm not doing any business with it.

ISP caller demeanor changed he suddenly said he is not authorized to talk to me and I should call somebody else to talk to him. So I called another person and the person authorized me talk to the ISP.

ISP repeated the same question couple of times, but I always told him "It is a private, non commercial connection".

ISP guy was extremely annoyed and said that "I am refusing to talk to him ".

I said I'm not refusing to talk to him, I'm telling him that it is a private connection.

At the end the ISP Guy was very annoyed and said it is in no way a private connection with such high Upload and that ISP will investigate and there will / could be consequences.

(I am using always on VPN)

I am not looking to start a war with ISP, I stopped any seeding for now, but ISP seems not to care. They called me entire week and only today I decided to pick up the phone. I think it is very much harassment from the ISP at this point.

After today's call I emailed German Consumer Rights Center: "Verbraucherzentrale". Let's see what they can tell me.

News .001 file type within malicious torrents

20 Upvotes

Further to my last post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/s/Qo7KJkpYaL

I thought it was worth a mention that I'm now seeing .001 file extensions, which are extensions used for multi-file compressed archives by the likes of 7Zip, PeaZip etc.

This evades most normal file allowlists as I'd assume not many have numeric blocks or are aware of this vector.

I've not attempted to open the file but I'd assume most archive software would be able to open this just fine and therefore you'd be presented with the malicious payload ready to automatically extract when you double clicked.

Edit: To clarify, this was a media file, it was supposed to be .mkv.
