A very large amount. What we did is we copied the share link for each folder that was in there. And we set the permissions on that so that anyone with that share link could still view the folder even though they're not logged in. And we also copied the collaborator invite links for the folders because that option was not password protected.

So we could invite a new burner account so that we would still have access for ourselves on new accounts altogether and the original one would be closed down, so no one else would be able to get access to it apart from us.

Yeah, because it's a backdoor that you can just, it's built into the site.

The only reason we were able to get these in the first place is because people don't exercise proper security. They use the same password on every site for years and years and years and don't enable two-factor authentication on their accounts either. So it's just open. If you've got the password, then you can just walk straight in and do whatever.

So I thought, how I wish. Because as usual, a few weeks went by and other people started to hint that they had these files. Well, the traders got access to some things, didn't they? There was no explanation for it other than that Spintire must have shared it with someone. So I quizzed him on it and I said, you know, if you have, I'd rather you just tell me. I won't be angry, I just want to know.

He still denies it. So I start thinking, oh, well, someone else must have got access somehow. Like, aside from us, someone else must have initially got access to the account. So I treat it as that for a while. Let Spintire have the benefit of the doubt. We carry on going. We think of some more accounts to try and get into different people.

Another thing we were trying was a management company for Diplo and Major Lazer, who are a bit closer to pop music. And we tried his managersbox.com account based on what we'd found in these leaked databases. And sure enough, password worked. It logged us in. There was another couple of terabytes of data in there. There was a lot more than just Major Lazer in there.

There was Diplo, there was A-Track, there was Dylan Francis, Kill The Noise. There were about 20 different artists under this management company, and we could view all of their stuff from within this Box.com account.

Yeah, this is where it gets a bit more dangerous because some stuff that they had in that box.com account, they were basically keeping all of their artists and people that were involved in touring and things, production crew, this management company was keeping all of these people's personal documents in there. They're calling them contact sheets.
