Money just appeared in my bank account from BitTorrent for reporting the find. They sent a grand total of $500.
Good for you MentaL. You did the right thing. and congrats on the baby.At least Emily has her next lot of clothes paid for:
I'd choose to not read any of those comments. Reading those on tweakers.net just agitates me... And everyone portraying you as a "hacker" lol.
I suppose this got the forum quite some more traffic? Notice any increase?

At the end of the day, we should just be grateful you received some money for this. They're a big enough company to just accept your findings and shun you, penniless.
Tweakers.net is also calling Mental a hacker >_> is it so hard or these people too read the OP?
Anyway, $1000 is still cheap for what mental could have done with all that.
People who write the article, probably copy it off another site. Since every site so far has called him a hacker, so will the others.. Really dissapointed that they don't actually read the original post.
This is not really true, also why would they read another site's article but not the thread with all the information of the reporter itself? They just want to make the article more thrilling, and most of them come with different conclusions why he 'is a hacker' (such as the Github leak theory from Tweakers).
Yes, but notice how the title is similar on every english site. If not fully copying eachother, then alittle atleast.
Knowing the outcome, what would you have all done if you was in my exact circumstances? I'm interested in what people would have done. My FB got bombarded with people asking to buy it, release it and so on.
