Torrent Sites Blamed For Twitter Attack
Let me see if I got this straight. A torrent script developer intentionally installed backdoors into software he sold to people wanting to run their own torrent site so he could steal the user information at a later date? And no one noticed this for years?

It appears that for a number of years, a person has been creating torrent sites that require a login and password as well as creating forums set up for torrent site usage and then selling these purportedly well-crafted sites and forums to other people innocently looking to start a download site of their very own. However, these sites came with a little extra — security exploits and backdoors throughout the system. This person then waited for the forums and sites to get popular and then used those exploits to get access to the username, email address, and password of every person who had signed up.
