Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3M peers

You bought a house that had a murder X years ago and are wondering if your guilty for the murder, probably not - aslong as you don't do more murder in it.

I suppose real life is more interesting though, the guy who picked up the domain to stop the global ransomware crisis was picked up after Defcon if memory serves.

Ironically your probably at more risk from the GDPR for leaking those IP addresses that connected to the box via your blog post.

I'm not a lawyer/solicitor though, don't take my advise.

I think it's more like you buy an abandoned house where people used to go buy drugs

you buy the house and people are still coming knocking on your door asking you if you have any drugs to sell

you're not doing anything wrong, but if the police notice people constantly coming to your house to buy drugs they may do something about it
