Irony alert: Pirate file-sharing site hacked

The hackers made off with usernames and passwords

May 14, 2007 (Computerworld) — Hackers cracked The Pirate Bay and stole the peer-to-peer tracking site’s database of usernames and passwords, the site warned members last week.

Pirate Bay is a BitTorrent directory whose members share movie, music and software files, many of them pirated. Last year, Swedish police raided the service, seized servers and detained three men for questioning; the trio was released that day, and the site was up and running again within days.

Although Friday’s blog post said that hackers had made off with the database, Pirate Bay downplayed the threat. “The passwords are stored encrypted, so it’s not a big deal,” read the post. “All e-mails are, for instance, encrypted as well, they will most likely not be able to decrypt them either (they are _very_ encrypted).” Even so, Pirate Bay recommended that users change their access passwords as soon as possible.

Initial reports from Swedish media pinned the attack on a group that calls itself Arga Unga Hackare (AUH, or Angry Young Hackers in English), but the group later denied any part in the attack. AUH first made news in 2005 when it defaced the Web site of Sweden’s antipiracy bureau, Svenska Antipiratbyran.

Pirate Bay apologized to members for the inconvenience. “Sorry for the mess, but we are all human and we miss something sometimes.”

Hackers hijack Windows Update’s downloader

Stealing Windows' BITS gets bad code past any firewall

May 10, 2007 (Computerworld) — Hackers are using the file transfer component used by Windows Update to sneak malware past firewalls, Symantec researchers said today.

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is used by Microsoft Corp.'s operating systems to deliver patches via Windows Update. BITS, which debuted in Windows XP and is baked into Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista, is an asynchronous file transfer service with automatic throttling — so downloads don't impact other network chores. It automatically resumes if the connection is broken.

"It's a very nice component, and if you consider that it supports HTTP and can be programmed via COM API, it's the perfect tool to make Windows download anything you want," said Elia Florio, a researcher with Symantec's security response team, on the group's blog. "Unfortunately, this can also include malicious files."
