В Греции администратора торрент-трекера приговорили к пяти годам тюрьмы

The Piraeus Court of Appeals has upheld a five-year prison sentence for a 59-year-old Greek man who operated the torrent tracker P2PLanet from 2011 to 2014, along with a €10,000 fine. The platform had over 44,000 users and 14,000 torrent files available before it ceased operations in 2014 after a cyberattack and the administrator's arrest. The Greek cybercrime unit raided the suspect's residence in 2014, seizing a computer hard drive. The domain name p2planet.net has been inactive for a decade. Legal actions against torrent site operators in Greece are rare, indicating a potential shift towards stricter enforcement of copyright laws. In 2019, a Greek court sentenced another individual to five years in prison for managing multiple pirate sites. Global trends show a decline in piracy, with visits to illegal sites projected to drop from 229 billion in 2023 to 216 billion in 2024.

These Three Messaging Apps Are Encrypted, but One Stands Above the Rest

Telegram is a cloud-based messaging service that collects and retains metadata, including IP addresses. In 2024, Telegram updated its privacy policy to allow sharing of user data with law enforcement upon valid requests, leading to 900 information requests from U.S. authorities affecting 2,253 individuals. The platform has experienced data breaches, including a 2020 leak of data from approximately 42 million Iranian users and a 2019 incident involving the exposure of Hong Kong protestors' identities. Telegram supports public channels that lack end-to-end encryption, allowing anyone on the platform to view content. It offers secret chats with end-to-end encryption, but these can only be accessed on the user's device. The platform features an automatic message deletion option with a minimum interval of one day and a self-destruct feature for accounts, messages, and contacts after specified inactivity periods. Telegram's client applications are open-source, but the server-side code is closed-source. The company's cloud servers are encrypted, and encryption keys are stored across various jurisdictions. Telegram operates on a freemium model, providing additional features through a paid subscription while displaying ads in public channels with over 1,000 subscribers. The app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store at no cost.
