Insecure Clients, New Feature, and Donation Specials Oh My!

Client Security Issues

It has been recently announced that there is a severe security flaw in uTorrent. The good news is that uTorrent has finally patched this bug. The bad news is that they only patched their latest release. Those that use the older versions of uTorrent because you do not like their newer ones are at risk!

More info about the security flaw: the flaw exists in the code that allows the client to be remote controlled over the web. Deactivating this feature does NOT remove the vulnerability. An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute code (hacks, viruses, root kits, etc) on your machine remotely.

Due to the severity of this vulnerability, we will be taking steps to ban the use of older uTorrent clients. They are not banned, right this moment, but the banning IS coming down the road.

Users of older uTorrent clients are STRONGLY encouraged to either upgrade to the latest version, or switch to a different client ASAP!

New Security Bulletins Forum

In an effort to get news about potential security vulnerabilities out to our users more rapidly, we have created a new sub forum here: https://immortalseed.me/tsf_forums/f...lay.php?fid=83

Any news regarding potential security issues will be posted there. Any users who find these posts useful can subscribe to the forum. This will tell the system to send you a PM every time there is a new post there (new posts will only be from staff and only when there is a security issue to report, so fear not the spam). We hope that this will help everyone stay informed, without spamming the site with announcements every time there is a security concern.

Donations

First and foremost, we want to give a humble and hearty thank you to all those that have opened up their wallets and given to the site. Without your help, we would not be able to keep the lights on!

Donations have been running a little lean the past few months. When this happens, we have to use reserves to pay for the site (taking away money for future upgrades), and eventually our own pockets to keep the hamsters running.

We are getting to the point where we could certainly use a little help. So please, if you can, consider donating. Every penny helps!

To sweeten the deal, all donation options will see their rewards doubled for a limited time. In addition the lifetime VIP is on sale! If you have considered renting or buying a shiny green suit to show off in, now is the time! Bonuses/discounts will be reflected in the in the donation description.

Finally, a big huge thank you goes out to each and every one of you. Without your awesomeness, we would just be another bit of code on the web instead of a great place to call home. You guys rock!
