The official premiere of Tenet has caused a stir on pirate websites. There seems to be a lot of interest in the film and some are taking advantage of the fact. Thousands of people have been deceived by downloading fake copies of the film.
Millions of people around the world were waiting for the release of Christopher Nolan 's science fiction thrillerTenet.'
The film was scheduled to be released in July, but, after several delays due to the pandemic, Warner Bros. announced that the premiere will take place before the end of August.
This week, Tenet premiered in many countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, South Korea and the United Kingdom.
But those who decided to watch the movie at home and tried to download a torrent clicked on it. All the pirated websites are filled with fake copies of Tenet.
This is of course not a new phenomenon. Almost all popular movies have fake torrent copies for obvious reasons.
These fake releases can lead to all sorts of mischief software, viruses or something else even worse. There are also relatively harmless ones archives but usually someone uploads the fake torrent for personal gain.
Torrents include one archive που υποτίθεται ότι είναι η ταινία αλλά δεν μπορεί να αναπαραχθεί. Περιέχει όμως και ένα αρχείο readme, που στέλνει όσους θέλουν να δουν την ταινία σε ιστότοπους που ζητάνε στοιχεία πιστωτικής κάρτας "για λόγους επαλήθευσης".
Σε γενικές γραμμές, αυτά τα ψεύτικα torrents ενισχύονται από ψεύτικους seeders. Έτσι ενώ φαίνεται να υπάρχουν χιλιάδες "πραγματικοί" seeders, δεν είναι άνθρωποι.
