Media Defender Email in HTML format
The boffins who brought to you the media defender hack have converted all the e-mails over to HTML and have put them on the internet as a searchable HTML archive. They did pull out some of the information to cut down on the risks of identity theft for Media Defender employees, but the rest of it is there in all is ugly glory.
P2Pnet has a quick article on the web site here, including its difficulties in staying up and in DNS. This one is going to be tricky because of the data, the DMCA take down notices, and generally people who will make this data hard to get at.
Media defender has been working on the idea of damage control throughout the week as pointed out by Ars Technica, and people who have made the archive available are starting to get the first DMCA take down notices. The Ars Technica article is well worth reading for the humor factor.
The archive can be found here at http://www.mediadefender-defenders.com/ and in case it is down (down at time we visited it) they have a spare on this IP Address right here at http://88.80.4.115/. You can expect the sites to be slow as everyone who did not download it via Bittorrent will be visiting it on the web.
This is a lot like the AOL Stalker web site, in that the files can just simply be read or searched looking for things.
In all it makes an interesting read, and researchers should be all over this one to work out what is being done, how it is being done, and what countermeasures can be put into place to make sure that P2P users are aware of the dangers and issues in P2P and Anti-P2P operations.
