Unknown actors breached the infrastructure of Francophone torrent tracker YggTorrent, claiming a complete extraction of data, publication of a manifesto, and dismantling of the project’s servers while preserving the site’s torrent distributions. They say the full torrent catalog was cloned and handed to the U2P collective (which set up a provisional tracker at ygg.gratis), and the published archive allegedly includes thousands of credit card records, admin documents, and other sensitive data though the leak remains unverified; YggTorrent has not yet commented and French regulator ARCOM is reportedly monitoring the situation. #YggTorrent #U2P
