Just came across this post on Wjunction 11th 9 22

The big times is not over only for Uploaded. Every host has his issues already.

Filehosts get attacked currently. ACE tries everything to kill their payment gateways so they cant finance themselves anymore.

Last 4 weeks which filehosts lost their payment gateways:
- Uploaded lost Creditcard.
- DDownload lost several payment methods.
- Nitroflare lost several payments methods.
- Keep2Share lost several payment methods.
- Rapidgator lost several payment methods (especially paypal).

Dear affiliate partner,

Unfortunately, our credit card payment system is under maintenance, so it is currently not possible to process any payments, request vouchers nor to purchase our premium service.

Our affiliate department is facing delays due to switching to another payment processor.

Feels like stop the file lockers is still about


PS

Possibly working again

From uptobox twitter:

Following the incident, we lost access to the servers containing the user files, they are no longer reachable, we have not yet had any documented confirmation of the seizure of our servers by anyone.

Seems like uptobox is down and out for the count! Just found this update...

The Alli@nce for Cre@tivity and Entert@inment (ACE), the world’s leading anti-piracy coalition, today announced it has shut down Uptobox and Uptostream, two of the digital piracy world’s most notorious illegal video hosts.

The action, conducted in France and the United Arab Emirates, puts an end to a piracy operation that was well known for a decade among distributors of infringing content. The illegal service boasted massive audiences, mainly from France, but also from Indonesia, India and Mexico, with 1.5 billion visits over the last three years. The services hosted a sizable infringing library of film and television titles affecting all ACE members and many other rightsholders, allowing users to stream and download copyright-protected content at no cost or through a paid premium subscription.

The two French nationals who ran the illegal service are based in Dubai, where they amassed illegal gains from selling advertising and premium subscriptions.

“The action we announced today demonstrates that even the most sophisticated piracy operations are not above the law,” said Jan van Voorn, Executive Vice President and Global Content Protection Chief of the Motion Picture Association and Head of ACE. “This case sends a strong message to criminal operators that their illegal actions will be put to an end eventually. They may think their operations are undercover, but ACE has the network, resources and expertise to identify them and shut them down.”
