Remember all that smug talk about the "multi-headed hydra" of BitTorrent sites that spring up after OiNK went to piggy heaven? Well—shock!—those heads may have gotten a little too big a little too quickly. A tipster writes: "Apparently the user database at What.cd was hacked and all of the users got a love letter from the 'RIAA.' In the haste to get oink replacements out and well populated, there have been some severe security lapses. Almost makes me want to stop the whole torrent thing. Almost. " B-but we thought OiNK and its descendants were all about the
community, and not playing stupid hacker tricks on a gullible userbase! Anyway, the "RIAA" e-mail is after the jump. It's pretty obviously fake—note the British spelling of "offense," for one!—but then again, the fact that OiNK's post-raid homepage seems to
seriously be using "Never Forget 10/23" in its logo should serve as a sign that the irony-o-meters of a lot of people are out of whack.
