Ouch… MediaDefenders Entire E-Mail Database Leaked

In what’s being called the “Biggest Ever BitTorrent Leak”, MediaDefender’s entire e-mail database has been leaked onto BitTorrent networks. For those who are unaware (and neither was I), MediaDefender is a company that is hired by various companies to help protect their properties. Obviously, the primary way they do this is by leaking fake copies of movies and the like onto BitTorrent sites themselves, in hopes to gather IP addresses of those downloading.

MediaDefender doesn’t know how to protect themselves apparently. Their entire database of e-mails (700MB uncompressed) has been leaked on the internet and contains everything from lunch plans to conversations between employees about their future tactics. This is an insane leak and on that no doubt has made MediaDefender tremble in their boots. TorrentFreak has all of the coverage through both links below.

Unfortunately for Media Defender – a company dedicated to mitigating the effects of internet leaks – they can do nothing about being the subject of the biggest BitTorrent leak of all time. Over 700mb of their own internal emails, dating back over 6 months have been leaked to the internet in what will be a devastating blow to the company.
