    Demonoid Busted

    The nightmare week for Demonoid has just reached a huge crescendo, with news coming out of Ukraine that following a massive DDoS attack the site has now been busted by local authorities. Those looking for a U.S. connection to the raid won’t be disappointed – a source in the country’s Interior Ministry says that the action was scheduled to coincide with Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky’s trip to the United States.

    Last week thousands of Demonoid users feared the worst when their beloved site disappeared from the Internet. Many thought that the site had been busted, but were eventually relieved to hear that it was ‘only’ a massive DDoS attack.

    But today the roller-coaster ride plummeted to new depths, with confirmation coming out of Ukraine that the DDoS was just the beginning – the site has been busted by the authorities.

    ColoCall is the largest datacenter in Ukraine and a place that has been Demonoid’s home in recent years. But in the middle of last week, in the wake of the DDoS attack, government investigators arrived at ColoCall to shut Demonoid down.

    “Investigators have copied all the information from the servers Demonoid and sealed them,” an anonymous ColoCall source confirmed. “Some equipment was not seized, but now it does not work, and we were forced to terminate the agreement with the site.”

    the site has been busted by the authorities.

    (...)

    “Investigators have copied all the information from the servers Demonoid and sealed them,”
    is all I can say.

    Very unfortunate. Demonoid was also one of my first trackers. And it has been around for a very, very long time too. Almost in a rival ship with other trackers. Private or not.

    Well I'm happy that Ukrainian police got a pat on the back from America, but the thing is, all those files sit on our computers and we'll just share it on some other tracker.

    When Oink was shut down it was a sad day, but we got WhatCD and project Gazelle that revolutionized the tracker world.
