We got into Skrillex's Dropbox. Skrillex's Dropbox is the... We actually didn't manage to get in there, but... We tried a bunch of different accounts after Skype, and none of it was working. So all of the other things had been closed off. So you couldn't get into his Dropbox? No.

But they couldn't get in. No. So we decided instead that maybe his manager would be a good target to try and look, to see if there was anything leaked in the databases for his manager. And so we had a look in, and there was... It was a really old result from 2008, but the same result appeared in all of the databases.

So it had a good chance of working in some maybe old sites that had been inactive, would have been used in the past for sharing music and stuff internally. To me and Spintai, we sat there on Skype and we tried it on the Mediafire page, which worked and logged us in. And there was some interesting stuff in there. There was Photoshop documents.

There were a couple of unreleased tracks that had never come out before, never even been heard. Skrillex tracks?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

In a way it was, but at that time we were hearing so many tracks from the traders that it kind of didn't seem as big to us as it actually was. And what we were doing as well, logging into the accounts and things, We didn't really kind of realize how deep that was really going because that's way further than just trading something in a small circle that's been got from another trader.

That's going into someone's account and taking something directly. And we were just doing it as if it was nothing, really, which is really ridiculous when I think back to it now. It's ridiculous. That's a huge invasion of privacy. But, you know, it worked.

we got these tracks and kind of made a resolve to ourselves that other people would be doing this at the same time as us other people would be figuring this out who would get these things and then trade them and leak them so that's what me and Spintire were basically saying with each other it's better that we're doing it and we can keep these things safe and listen to them between ourselves and have the interest with it and then keep it secret keep it from leaking

Yeah, so we'd go in, we'd grab the files and then either just change the password straight up so that no one else could get into the account or to contact the person that we'd logged into and say, we've compromised your account, you need to change this password. And which many of the times we actually did that, we'd contact them and said, You know, you've been compromised here.
