Helix IPTV Owner Sentenced to 3 Years Prison For Piracy & Money Laundering
IPTV provider PrimeStreams says it is being blackmailed by an alleged hacker who gained access to its billing panel. The currently unknown person also claims to have hacked Helix Hosting last week. In common with that situation, PrimeStreams said a bitcoin ransom was demanded to prevent its databases being leaked out onto the Internet.
Popular 'pirate' IPTV provider Helix Hosting appears to be facing a crisis after someone claiming to be a hacker posted a message on the service's homepage. According to the statement, Helix failed to pay a ransom so as a result, the personal details of customers and resellers, plus an owner's name, address and phone number, will be leaked online.
