Demonoid Busted As A Gift To The United States Government

[dixiegrrrrl]

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."
On the agenda: copyright infringement.

Snip....
"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."

Hopefully will be back, but how long ....dunno.
