Seen that.

It turns out it's just been hacked

Re: BBC article on elite torrents
I don't get it, the article you linked to is on feel1ng.com, not BBC.com. And do you mean elitetorrents has been hacked or BBC?

Either way, it would be hilarious if the BBC news site had that headline: "Elite Torrents shut down! OMGZ!!1"

Re: BBC article on elite torrents
Yeah, the elite torrents website has been hacked - it's got logos from the FBI and Homeland Security (huh?) ...although it all looks a bit dodgy. Looks like their DNS has been hijacked as opposed to the site being hacked itself.

The article itself is a spoof... just made to look like a BBC article but, as you pointed out, it's really hosted at feel1ng.com. I just thought it was funny although I hope they're back online soon.
