Bail For Boy, 15, Following TalkTalk Arrest

The company says its website was subject to a "significant and sustained" attack in which customer details may have been stolen.

A 15-year-old boy who was arrested over an alleged cyber attack on TalkTalk has been released on bail, police in Northern Ireland have said.

He was held on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act, following a major breach of the telecoms firm's website last week.

His home in County Antrim in Northern Ireland was also searched by detectives.

The teenager was held at Antrim police station but later released on bail

But a Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman said on Tuesday that the teenager had been released pending further enquiries.

"The investigation being conducted by the Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit, Police Service of Northern Ireland and National Crime Agency is continuing," the spokesman said.

The company says it was forced to shut down its website last week after what it described as a "significant and sustained" cyber attack.

TalkTalk is urging its four million customers to check their accounts for any suspicious activity "over the next few months" and change their passwords.

However the company's chief executive Dido Harding has said she was still unsure how many customers had been affected by the attack.

The breach is the third in a series of cyber attacks that have affected TalkTalk customers.

In August, the firm revealed its mobile sales site was hit by a "sophisticated and co-ordinated cyber attack" in which personal data was accessed.

In February, customers were warned about scammers who managed to steal thousands of account numbers and names from TalkTalk's computers.

To answer whoever it is that edited my last post.

The reason I asked for sats / transponders with 4:2:2 feeds was so that I could test.

Never mind

Hey Evo,

I am unaware of any editing that has taken place, so cannot comment on that however

If you are looking for feeds in that specific 4:2:2 format perhaps place a quick request thread in the 'Feed Hunter' section of the site, post which satellites you can receive and i will have a look around for you and post if i find anything, or anyone else for that matter of course

CASH BOUNTIES FOR CATCHING CINEMA PIRATES DOUBLES IN UK

The Federation Against Copyright Theft has announced increased bounties for workers who prevent pirates from camming movies in UK cinemas. During a ceremony at Universal Pictures, 13 cinema staff were also handed awards after foiling attempts to record movies including Fast and Furious 7 and Minions earlier in the year.

The leaking of first-run movies onto the Internet continues to be a thorn in the side of Hollywood and its distribution partners around the world.

The studios themselves refuse to make their own content widely available on the day of release, which means that people who prefer their own homes over a cinema have only one (illegal) choice if they wish to view the latest movies quickly.

This unwelcome competition is something Hollywood is desperate to stamp out and increasingly it’s turning to workers in the movie chain to help it to do so. One of those efforts includes rewarding cinema staff for remaining vigilant during screenings in order to shut down so-called ‘cammers’.

In the UK cinema staff are motivated by cash rewards handed out by the Film Distributors’ Association and the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT). Together the groups have paid out thousands of pounds to pirate-catchers and now they’re about to up the rewards considerably.

During a ceremony at Universal Pictures yesterday, the FDA and FACT announced the launch of an “enhanced rewards period” which will see cash payments to cinema workers doubled from £500 to £1000 for each thwarted attempt at unauthorized recording.

The period will run between 23rd October and 1st January 2016 and is set to coincide with a batch of new releases hitting UK cinema screens.

“From next week through to Christmas, the exceptional run of new releases is highly attractive both to mass-market cinemagoers and, regrettably also, to the networks of copyright pirates who persist in trying to rip off the creative industries and consumers,” says Mark Batey, Chief Executive of the Film Distributors’ Association.

During yesterday’s event at Universal Pictures, more than a dozen UK cinema workers received awards for their vigilance earlier in the year. In all, 13 employees received a cash prize and a certificate after intervening against unauthorized cammings of Fast and Furious 7, Pitch Perfect 2 and Minions.

According to figures released by FACT, in total there were 11 incidents of which 10 were attended by police. Four of those incidents led to a formal caution and one incident led to two arrests.

“Detecting and disrupting illegal recording in cinemas is a key area of FACT’s work to protect the creative content that we all love,” says FACT Director General Kieron Sharp.

“Illegal camming is still the source of more than 90% of all pirated films and so our film protection programme is essential to protecting new releases and preventing criminal activity.”

Today’s rewards announcement coincides perfectly with the impending launch of upcoming James Bond blockbuster ‘Spectre’. The movie will enjoy its world premiere at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Monday and will be immediately released nationwide. FACT has already indicated that security of the movie will be intense, with night vision goggles deployed to catch would-be cammers.

The anti-piracy group will be hoping that £1,000 will prove an exciting prospect for cinema workers around the country and enough to stop any leak of Spectre before its November 6 launch in the United States.

I was wondering whether you could elaborate on this?

I've got a multi-sat system (28.2e & 19.2e and almost 13e). The dish is pointing directly to 23.5e, with an off-set lnb for 28.2e. When I did a scan on 28.2e it picked up the 28.2e channels but nothing on 23.5e. Is there the possibility that I could pick up 23.5e and 28.2e on the same LNB?

No chance at all i am afraid, they are way too far apart

I have only had personal success with 9e and 10e on the same lnb, although i have read in the past of others doing it on other birds as well

EUROPE’S ‘NET NEUTRALITY’ COULD ALLOW TORRENT AND VPN THROTTLING

Next week the European Parliament will vote on Europe's new telecoms regulation which includes net neutrality rules. While the legislation is a step forward for many countries, experts and activists warn that it may leave the door open for BitTorrent and VPN throttling if key amendments fail to pass.

For several years politicians have debated on how Europe should approach net neutrality.

The results of these negotiations are included in the Telecoms Single Market (TSM) regulation, which will be voted on early next week.

If the European Parliament adopts the new rules they will become law, replacing existing network neutrality laws in member states of the EU.

This is a positive development for net neutrality supporters in countries where legislation is lacking, but not necessarily in the Netherlands, Slovenia and Norway, which already have strong rules in place.

Various activist groups and experts warn that there won’t be any real network neutrality if some crucial amendments fail to pass. These amendments will ensure that specific types of traffic aren’t throttled around the clock, for example.

The current language would allow ISPs to throttle BitTorrent traffic permanently if that would optimize overall “transmission quality.” This is not a far-fetched argument, since torrent traffic can be quite demanding on a network.

Barbara van Schewick, Professor of Law and Director of Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, tells us that in its current form the net neutrality regulations pose a significant threat to file-sharing protocols and services.

“This is a real problem for P2P applications. ISPs regularly throttle or otherwise interfere with peer-to-peer file-sharing applications to manage congestion if they are not prevented from doing so by network neutrality rules,” van Schewick says.

“The provisions would allow ISPs to throttle or de-prioritize P2P file-sharing around the clock based on the ‘objective technical requirement’ that P2P file-sharing is not sensitive to delay,” she adds.

This would lead to lower download speeds for average downloaders, for example. In addition, it would be troubling for P2P and BitTorrent-based real-time streaming services which are particularly sensitive to delays.

Besides file-sharing traffic the proposed legislation also allows Internet providers to interfere with encrypted traffic, including VPN connections.

Since encrypted traffic can’t be classified though deep packet inspection, ISPs may choose to de-prioritize it altogether.

“Encryption makes it impossible to identify the type of application, so ISPs who implement that kind of traffic management have generally put encrypted traffic in the slow lane,” van Schewick explains.

“Even if an ISP wasn’t specifically targeting P2P file-sharing applications, this would hurt all P2P applications that encrypt their traffic,” she adds.

The concerns outlined above are shared by several Members of Parliament who have introduced amendments to fix the issues. However. in order to get them accepted they require support from the majority of Parliament.

To push them in the right direction, a coalition of digital rights groups have created the SaveTheInternet website where European citizens can share their concerns, encouraging their representatives to vote in favor of the amendments.

More information and comments on the European net neutrality rules are available on Medium. Next week we’ll know if the campaign helped, or if BitTorrent and VPN traffic are still at risk.

Dozens of new domains have quietly been added to the UK's unofficial 'pirate' block list. In addition to blacklisting several Popcorn Time related URLs, plenty of torrent, streaming and proxy 'unblocker' sites have also been targeted. Several hundred URLs are now blocked by UK ISPs yet public announcements are a rare event.

Following a series of High Court orders, six of the UK’s major ISPs are required to block access to dozens of the world’s largest torrent sites and streaming portals.

It all began in April 2012, when member labels of the BPI moved to have the notorious Pirate Bay blocked by the country’s leading providers. Shortly after in July the same year, the MPA successfully argued that Usenet indexing site Newzbin2 should share an identical fate.

Some six months later, popular sites including Kickass, H33T and Fenopy were blocked too, with others such as Movie2K and EZTV joining them shortly after. And in July 2013 the Premier League joined the blockers, with a High Court order against First Row Sports.

Ever since, the MPA, BPI, Premier League, book publishers and even watchmakers have been obtaining blocking orders covering hundreds of URLs, in the hope that somehow this will prevent or at least reduce infringement of their rights.

Whether they actually achieve those aims is something rarely discussed but that’s not the only thing being kept quiet. On a regular basis the rightsholders listed above add new domains and new URLs to existing court orders which ISPs are obliged to comply with. No public announcements are made to advise the public, aside from the ‘page blocked’ messages supplied by their ISPs.

Nevertheless, TorrentFreak has learned that October has been a particularly busy month on the web blocking front, with rightsholders adding dozens of domains to existing orders covering almost 90 URLs. They cover official sites, clones, fakes, proxies (general and dedicated) plus assorted mirrors.

On the torrent site front, Demonoid.ws (plus three Demonoid proxies operated by proxyunblocker.org), 7torrents.info, seventorrents.org, seventorrents.pro, soupbit.me, torrentalter.org and ez-torrents.com are now present on the list.

After their main sites were blocked in an earlier court order, several TorrentDay and TorrentButler proxies have also been targeted.

Unsurprisingly, Popcorn Time related domains also make an appearance including getpopcornti.me, popcorntime.is, popcorntime.party and popcorntime.re.

Targeting isoHunt, its clones, proxies and Popcorn Time-style software isoPlex, new URLs to be blocked include izohant.com, izohant.net, izohant.org, isohunters.com and several unblockers operated by unblockme and torrentunblock.com

Action has also been broad on the streaming front. Several PrimeWire related domains (primeseries.to, primewire.fr, primewire.is, primewire.org, primewire.sg, gxiso.com) are the main targets along with several Viooz and Vodly-related domains at viooz.ph, vodly.at, vodly.be and viooz.ac.wwwunblocker.com.

Other streaming related URLs added to the blocklist cover a range of main domains and proxies for letmewatchthis (.at and .link), several LosMovies proxies operated by TorrentProx.com, plus 10 movie25, movie2k and movie4k proxies hosted at ProxyKings.com.

The grouping of the domains and URLs above shows that copyright holders are continuing with their strategy of targeting not only main domains, but also any others that could facilitate access by another route. This ensures that copyright holder blocking measures deter not only casual pirates but also those a bit more determined to find an easy way around blockades.

In total around 90 URLs are covered by the latest action, all of which should be blocked by ISPs including Virgin, Sky, TalkTalk and O2 during the coming days.

In 2014, police arrested a man and effectively took control of his torrent site unblocking proxy. Worryingly, it now transpires that people still have their browsers configured to use it. With Immunicity.org now back in the hands of anti-censorship activists, we learn that around 33,000 users were trying to proxy traffic through a police-controlled domain.

In July 2013 a new anti-censorship service arrived on the scene. Targeted at users who found VPNs too expensive and Tor too slow, Immunicity provided free access to a wide range of blocked websites.

A year later and with support from Hollywood, City of London Police arrested Immunicity’s then 20-year-old operator. He’s still on police bail facing an uncertain future.

For many months the Immunicity website remained online but with a very much changed appearance. Gone was the advice on how to unblock sites such as The Pirate Bay to be replaced by a City of London Police banner explaining that the site was under criminal investigation.

Police previously admitted that they’d been logging traffic to that site (and many other seized sites for that matter) but recent developments indicate that they could’ve had access to more than straightforward visits to the Immunicity website. Here’s how.

Central to the Immunicity system was providing its users with access to a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) file. Browsers are easily configured to use PAC files and in just a couple of minutes Immunicity users were able to download a custom PAC and begin opening blocked sites via the Immunicity.org domain.

However, police took effective control of that domain when they arrested its owner last year and while former users might have been disappointed that the service no longer worked as advertised, thousands left their browsers configured to continue using it. How do we know that? Well, the UK Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit no longer has control of the domain.

At the end of August activists from Brass Horn Communications, a non-profit entity which operates Tor exits and other anti-censorship systems such as Packetflagon, managed to obtain the Immunicity domain. Until three days ago it displayed a modified version of the famous police seizure notice.

a948bf438e4bc3dea745a6.png

Speaking with TorrentFreak the operator of Brass Horn Communications says that since taking over the Immunicity domain it has become apparent that tens of thousands of former Immunicity users failed to remove the service’s PAC file from their browsers. This means that even after the police took control of Immunicity.org they continued to direct their traffic to the seized domain.

“More than a year [after the police raid] there were over 33k unique addresses still surrendering control of their operating systems / browsers (plus Steam, OS updates, OCSP / CRL requests etc) over to the Immunicity Proxy Auto-Config file,” he reveals.

“The Police (or another malicious actor had they acquired the domain) could have done a lot of damage.”

We asked Brass Horn’s spokesperson about the best and worst case scenarios for the users whose browsers continued to access the Immunicity PAC file. The best case is that nothing happened, the worst is more complicated.

“We know that the Police were monitoring the access logs of the seized domains so in theory they could simply have monitored everyone who requested the PAC file and recorded that,” he explains.

“But they could have also published a PAC file that sent *all* traffic through a proxy under their control and gathered metadata. They would have been able to alter HTTP content in flight and monitor which IPs were going to which websites, even if they were over SSL. Granted they couldn’t see which URL was being visited but that’s besides the point.”

Brass Horn’s operator says people should be aware that while routing their traffic through third parties has the ability to decrease censorship efforts, there are always security considerations to keep in mind.

“People need to be aware of the risks of PAC proxies, VPNs etc (e.g. all their traffic is at the whim of the VPN / Proxy operator). With that said, Brass Horn Communications won’t surrender any domains and will be publishing DNSSEC records, TLSA DNS records and long lived HSTS headers to hopefully break any seizures from having an effect.”

For now, however, Immunicity is in safe hands. Nevertheless, its new operator is advising former users to immediately delve into their browser settings to disable access to the old PAC file.

Full instructions on how to create and install a new PAC file are provided at Immunicity.org, which is now a fully operational PacketFlagon site-unblocking shard.

KickassTorrents is continuing to have problems with Google's unwanted software policy. After the site resolved an earlier problem with a bad advertiser, Firefox and Chrome users are again barred from accessing the popular torrent index. Instead, they see an ominous warning screen.

594a047.png

Starting a few hours ago Chrome and Firefox began blocking user access to KickassTorrents (KAT) again.

Google’s safebrowsing algorithm flagged the website under its ‘unwanted software’ program, which is often triggered by malicious third-party advertising.

Instead of the usual homepage, visitors now see an ominous red warning banner when they enter Kat.cr into their browsers.

“The site ahead contains harmful programs,” Google Chrome informs its users.

“Attackers on kat.cr might attempt to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit),” the warning adds.

Mozilla’s Firefox browser displays a similar message

Google previously said that the “unwanted software” policy applies to all websites but added that torrent sites are common targets for ‘unwanted software’ distributors.

The company further stressed that the warnings will automatically disappear when the flagged sites no longer violate Google’s policy.

According to Kat.cr’s safebrowsing page “attackers” might use the torrent site to trick visitors into installing programs that harm their browsing experience. In addition, KAT is believed to link to “dangerous websites.”

16f8c1bbabc3741bdd96a1.png

TF asked the KAT team for a comment and they informed us that this time the block may be a false positive. In any case, they are working hard to address the malware issues.

“We are working on the malware detection system and soon hope to get rid of the problem permanently,” the KAT teams says.

Two weeks ago, when the site was also flagged, the operators were also quick to remove the malicious advertiser. Despite the swift response, it took more than two days before the site was unblocked on both Firefox and Chrome.

Impatient or adventurous users who want to bypass the warning can do so by clicking the details link, or by disabling their browser’s malware warnings altogether, at their own risk.

GOOGLE OPPOSES WHOLE-SITE REMOVAL OF “PIRATE” DOMAINS

Google is rejecting calls from copyright holders to remove entire domain names from Google search based on copyright infringements. In a letter to the U.S. Government the company points out that this would prove counterproductive and lead to overbroad censorship.

In recent years the movie and music industries have continually pressured Google to take action against online piracy.

Ideally, groups including the MPAA and RIAA want search engines to remove clearly infringing websites from their search results entirely, especially if courts have previously found them to be acting illegally.

919a7cbaefbbc36925fb.jpg

Just recently the MPAA reiterated this stance in recommendations to U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (IPEC) Daniel Marti.

However, Google disagrees and is now urging the Government not to facilitate or promote so-called “whole-site” removals. According to the search giant this may lead to overbroad censorship.

“Unfortunately, whole-site removal is ineffective and can easily result in censorship of lawful material,” Google writes.

In its letter Google points out that blogging sites or social networks can contain infringing material, but that removing an entire site would also take down perfectly legitimate content.

The MPAA is probably not referring to blog platforms, but The Pirate Bay instead. However, according to Google the current DMCA takedown system is both effective and efficient enough to deal with all infringing content

“The DMCA provides copyright owners with an effective and efficient framework for removing any infringing page on a site,” Google stresses, noting that it has removed hundreds of millions of URLs already this year.

Removing or blocking entire websites might not only chill free speech but also prove counterproductive, Google says.

“Whole site removal would simply drive piracy to new domains, legitimate sites, and social networks,” the company notes, adding that copyright holders should go after the site’s revenue sources instead.

Another downside of whole-site removal is that the U.S. would send the wrong message to the rest of the world.

If the U.S. is prepared to censor entire websites based on copyright violations, then other regimes may find it easier to demand the same based on local laws. For example, by demanding the removal of news sites based on political statements, or insults to religion.

“This would jeopardize free speech principles, emerging services, and the free flow of information online globally and in contexts far removed from copyright,” Google notes.

Instead of taking a repressive approach, the U.S. Government should address piracy in a more positive way by encouraging the development of legal alternatives.

“Piracy thrives when consumer demand goes unmet by legitimate supply,” Google writes.

“Online services like Google Play, Spotify, Netflix, and iTunes have demonstrated that the most effective way to combat piracy on the web is to offer attractive legal alternatives to consumers.”

Google’s letter will be taken into consideration by Intellectual Property Czar Daniel Marti, who is expected to release the 2016 – 2019 Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement during the months to come
