Superdickery apparently got hacked

This is just a warning since I know that it has some fans here. Whatever you do, don't follow the links that say anything about "warez" or "keygen" or "crack" (like the one on this page (http://tinyurl.com/458cm)). The odds are very high that they lead to a site that will attempt to load your computer full of viruses and trojans.

Of course, I haven't actually tested it to be sure. I'm all for rational skepticism but that would just be stupid.

So... anyone want to test it? I dare ya. Playground rules are in effect, right? :smallyuk:

Oh, please don't. Zombie computers are an important tool for spammers. So, everyone who fails to take appropriate precautions on the Internet makes it worse for everyone else.

(Edited to add, I'm not an expert or anything. I could be misunderstanding how it works.)

More than just spammers. Anything from some punk teenager with a couple scripts who wants to feel smug at taking down a site he doesn't like, to well-paid and well-trained hackers working for foreign powers can benefit from more compu-zombie resources.
