I don't know much about the black market, but how much could a way to download files you don't own off mega be worth? The majority of the files on mega are going to be pirated software/movies/audio, right?
- tluyben2 14y agoBecause of the 50gb free space, I already have a lot of non tech friends using it for all their highly sensitive / personal stuff. And probably for sharing stuff between work <> home; people in big (gov) companies. Also, in the last week I heard a lot of people moving of others (dropbox/gdrive) simply because they are now expensive compared. And they were already hosting private/secure sensitive (unencrypted => at least mega is encrypted) info on those. Lot of technical minded people seem to forget that ease of use beats anything for non tech people; privacy, security (and even, morals, when downloading stuff they didn't pay for; mega and others are easier than amazon, steam, netflix etc) go out the door when something is easy to use. And preferably free.
- VonGuard 14y agoAgreed, the point is that having an exploit is only useful to someone who really really really wants into that specific system. With a system that will have millions of users, someone's sure to be angry at someone over something that's up there.
