it might not be hosted on the webserver?

I mean, while they were already h4xing and stuff...

leaving your program source code on server when you know it can be hacked hmm :rolleyes:

looks like a staged attack, created for promotional/sensationalistic/PR purposes, not like a (professional) attempt at causing some serious damage - perfectly in-line with the basic media theme: much ado about nothing

I'm a good follower ,i read some where here its still need testing and the suggestion was put it at member area .

:top:

Edit:
Also a post at ut forum related to version 3.0 label problem ,correct me if i'm wrong wasn't you ?

yes this is true I have found this news on other forums as well. Sad to hear just an AV trick, if it was a source code leak maybe anon could have more custome uTorrent package ;)

Heh. For the coding crowd the source would certainly be useful. It could allow the creation of new spoofs and other programs. I'm not saying a cheat client based on uT because as great as that'd be, I don't think newer sources with core fixes would also get leaked.

Anyway, it's not going to happen, so enough imagination for now :wtongue:
