There are a fair few in that link. I'll post up anything else interesting I find too. It is saved in mbox format, so is not easy to open, but I'm getting there.

It is good to see their 100% failure rate on newtorrents.info. It is my favourite torrent site after eztvefnet.org :)

Most of it is boring tickets being opened and closed. They are oddly scared of ZP, but not too impressed with their journalism hehe. No mention of Beatking, but we shouldn't be too hurt - Engadget doesn't get a mention either.

You actually read 700 mb of e-mail?

The latest leak includes all details of pay, home addresses, social security numbers and telephone numbers.

It seems to be getting personal now - and they are promising more leaks to come. I've gone from laughing to smiling and thinking, "has this gone too far?"

CNet weighs in on MediaDefender's woes:

"News Analysis: The antipiracy company MediaDefender was under attack long before hundreds of its e-mails were stolen and exposed to the Web.

One of the largest companies offering to protect copyright music and movies from online piracy, MediaDefender's credibility and competence are now being questioned following a security breach that led to more than 6,000 of the company's e-mails being posted to the Web. Industry sources confirmed the authenticity of the e-mails."

Source code for all their anti-piracy software leaked:

This time credited to an inside source at MediaDefender, rather than any sort of hacking/cracking. I don't see that MD can ever bounce back now.

There is also a website to view everything on, found here. However, the most interesting thing on that page is the e-mail sent to them by MediaDefender:

I am the CEO of MediaDefender. We have begun our civil and criminal investigations into the stolen emails from our company. We are meeting with the FBI on monday. Your IP address has been logged. I hope it was worth the thrill.

Was this company being run by a 5 year old??

DailyTech reports that hackers have struck MediaDefender again:

“The [leak] is complete for their operations regarding Kazaa, bittorrent, gnutella etc. This system is … released for the public in order to identify the decoys [MediaDefender] set up,” states the leak’s accompanying NFO file.
