Warning 1337 no longer safe, Baldur's Gate 3 infected with Miner, refused to be taken down, possibly linked with admins.

Reddit - Dive into anything

1337x admins allowing BG3 torrent with bitcoin miner stand after multiple reports in comments with proof, seems like the site lost it's credibility. Suspicious that the user is also shilling to donate to 1337x, suspecting him being somehow affiliated with 1337x mods

- With a miner for a game with online content then virtual machine doesn't save you. It may keep.your data safe but still uses your resources for mining.
  
  So people run games through a Virtual Machine? I haven't pirated PC games due to not trusting them, so have been curious the steps people take to avoid situations like what occurred. Have wondered if some people have a dedicated PC for just pirated games, or at the very least run it off an external drive.
Did they say donate to 1337x or donate to 1337x followed by a link? If it's the latter it might be to trick people into donating to an individual.
I'd be hesitant to think that's how 1337x mods would get a few extra dollars.
I have never even heard of this group but I play everything through wine on Linux so if you compromise my weird setup fair play I guess
I hope fitgirls release isnt from 1337x.
- All her non emulator shit is off cs.rin.ru
  
  Sweet
Is ovagames/ el amigos safe?
a say it this way im not an expert on torrent comunities, in reddit there's a lot of shit saying.
I u have win PC:
AV for movies mp3 shows not programs
there is a free utility that's called file in Linux, it detects via file headers the file so make a scrip to mail you when you have any exe in your movie's folder (check openai for this)
maintain your software updated, get informed via RSS asap new versions arrive (mitigate vulnerabilities) +. Update your OS,be aware for msft mayor update releases, the second Tuesday of every month
For programs use a vm to check if they are safe. Check out/in connections ,registry changes, google for more. Not share clipboard an folder should be read only
Safe pirating
