I'd cut Spintire off in mid-October. I'd been friends with him for two years at that point. It was difficult to cut him off. It was fun to hang out with. But, you know, it had to be done. Damage was actually being caused and I was recognising that. What a headful to navigate as a teenager, you know?

I think at the peak of things, we probably had like a network of 25 accounts. It was a lot. I mean, we were doing this sort of stuff just all day, basically, just trying to figure out what could be next, what could Spintire's next target be. You know, what could be something dangerous that he would get access to that he shouldn't get access to, and then go and get access to it ourselves instead.

It was ridiculous.

Yeah, I mean, that's the thing as well with Box.com or Dropbox. If you make a shared folder and you invite other collaborators to it, these management companies are inviting 50 people to a folder, and you could go through and browse that list of people and take their names and their email addresses off there, and then you could run those through the database search as well.

So if you spent long enough on it, you could tunnel through to all kinds of places that way by just going on it again and again and again until you get somewhere. And you could build up a network that way.

Quite a few times, they'd not change it very much. They'd maybe just add a capital letter or an extra number on the end. Or there was one manager that we were looking at, his password was the same thing for everything, but he just changed the letter at the end. And the letter at the end would be the initial of whatever site the account was for.

So if the account password had leaked from MySpace, it would be word and then the letter M at the end. So To get to the password for box.com or Dropbox, you know, you just change the letter at the end to a D or a B, and it would work. You would also not get a notification that that password was compromised because it wasn't.

Yeah, Purple Lamborghini was something that came from the Diplo's manager's account. One of the artists that they were managing was called Flostradamus. They do DJ sets at the main festivals throughout the year for trap music and dubstep music. And in one of these contact sheets that was stored on this management box was all the passwords for this DJ duo.

And one of them was the password for their Splice account. Splice was a service that offered project file storage for music software. So we got into that and we downloaded it. their DJ set preparation files. And because they were semi-big players, they had all these work-in-progress versions of tracks from other people in the scene. And Purple Lamborghini demo was one of them.

And basically what happened was, it's been a few months since I cut Spintire off. And... I was missing my friend and I went and unblocked him and I started talking to him again. I said, you know, are you still doing the selling? Because we'd been trying to prevent him from doing it, preventing him from getting anything to sell. He said, no, you know, I've finished with that.
