Filestube and Wupload - leaking files?

[masterb56]

So I was doing some searches of my files and I found some on filestube.

But what I didn't expect was that the files in there have never been published/posted anywhere...

I've only checked filestube, haven't checked any other search sites as of yet.

So I guess they are doing a Hotfile/Megaupload - where your files are leaked to file search sites?

If you aren't bothered by this, its alright, just want to let you guys know

www.fileserve.com/file/*******/

www.filesonic.com/file/nnnnnnnnnn/

www.wupload.com/file/nnnnnnn/

I think there're bots scanning the range of urls.

I hope mine get leaked. I would love it. More downloads for me.

lol same happened to me too..

I got downloads of links which I never posted anywhere

They have a scraper/bot that scans link ranges. Name doesn't matter since filesonic/fileserve files are ID based. So it just scrapes the name off the page. Pretty easy to scrape files if they're ID'd in a specific order/manner.

They are even copying my files that have random letters and numbers as a filename

i think that filestube is the owner of wupload... they even had a big advertising for it at the begining... or if not the owner, then a good business partner at least.

looks like all files uploaded to wupload are automaticlly sent to filestube.
