Who closed the Dotcom and for how long?
The founder of the closed a year ago sharing service named Megaupload Kim (Dotcom) Schmitz announced the launch of similar project called «Mega» (mega.co.nz). Information about this appeared in Dotcom’s personal blog in Twitter.
Site megaupload.com, closed by decision of USA court (19 January 2012), was one of the world's largest resources, enabling users to share large files.
The site generates about 4% of all Internet traffic in the world.
First hour of work brought to the new site more than 100 000 users. It is not big surprise that the site is overloaded with a large number of requests.
«At this moment one year ago Megaupload was destroyed by the U.S. government. Welcome to the mega.co.nz», - wrote Dotcom.
In January 2012, Dotcom, who has a residence permit in New Zealand, was one of the four arrested people in the context of FBI operations – the case about the Megaupload illegal activities. According to the charges, brought against Dotcom, movies, music and other intellectual property holders lost more than $ 500 million as a result of work megaupload.com, and the incomes of the site owners from advertising and sale of premium-accounts exceeded $ 175 million.
Dotcom was released on bail on February 22, after having being for more than month custody. Under the terms of the release, he must constantly live in Auckland and may leave it only with the permission of New Zealand authorities.
And now, some news for lovers of jailbreak smartphones.
Hacker named Planetbeing has informed in his Twitter that he (together with the Pod2g) could make a go of a certain case. You shouldn’t be an analyst to understand that it is all most likely about iOS 6 jailbreak.
When Pod2g announced the establishment of 2G Lab, he spoke about a desire to step aside temporarily from iOS breaking and start developing applications for the AppStore. The first program, PodDJ, was released this week. Now Hacker intends to work in two directions — develop PodDJ and look for the ways of jailbreaking.
In the beginning of January, Planetbeing declared the creation of iOS 6.0.2 loose jailbreak. The hacker succeeded in breaking into a system, but he did not make an utility for the sake of preservation of an exploit before the release of iOS 6.1.
If Apple does not resolve the exploit in its iOS, Pod2g and Planetbeing jailbreak can finally see the light.
