Pirates Bay, favourite site of the RIAA was recently hacked by an Argentinian expert, and he has managed to grab email and IP address of over 4 million Pirates Bay users in the process.

Hacker CH Russo has stated in a blog post that he only hacked the site to show the administrators how weak the personal information of their public is being held via the software.

He said “We believe that the people behind this community always acted with the local laws on their side, and so have we. The community caused problems to huge companies and corporations which turned into threats between this companies and them. What we have done, we did not do it with anger, or for commercial value. As always, we saw the change, the moment and decided to take it. The protocol or procedure done to achieve this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.”

He has also made it public that no changes have been made to user accounts and that no information will be passed to authorities. However it brings forward a very valid question, why don't authorities hire people like CH Russo in the first place?

KitGuru says: Are you a member of the Pirates Bay? Did you break out in a cold sweat?
