funkytorrents.com (Be careful almost all uploaded softwares have malware)
UPDATE: Thanks to me all the software torrents have been removed from https://funkytorrents.com/ since they all had a password stealing malware in them.
Hello everyone. Funkytorrents.com has been online since quite sometime now. The first post that I read about it is dated 2007. So a few years back I joined it for music.
Their uploading bot was quite good at genres & I used to frequently download my R&B music from there until one day the bot stopped posting. I don't know the story behind it although I wrote to the mods there but never got a proper reply.
Fast forward to 2024. A few days back I visited it again and saw that they have also started uploading softwares. Some of the uploaded software torrents were quite good so I downloaded a few. When I tried to install the latest Winrar I got a notification that it contains password stealing trojan. So I checked all the softwares downloaded from there and almost all the software has this password stealing trojan in them. See the the exact prompts I received after scanning their software torrents.

So here I am warning everyone and anyone who is planning to download/install softwares from funkytorrents.com specially the ones uploaded by the user PVP please be careful. A friend of mine also confirmed this. Better to be safe then sorry.
UPDATE: Guys I downloaded Winrar since they said they has a new version which was not available anywhere else. So I had doubts and I downloaded random softwares from there to check and my doubts were confirmed.
Thanks I know about 7-zip y;all. <3
I mean, downloading free 7zip from torrents??
DriverBooster? what?
WinRAR has rarreg available on the net, old as hell patchers still works, even Scene releases in APPS section - last winrar was almost 9 months ago, even Winrar is literally https://janbakker.tech/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/image-1.png on free version for years since, I don't remember, 99? 2000...
For Apps I just use scene releases. So - are scene releases there on funkytorrents? lolwtf
I got a rar key for $1 almost 15 years ago during some anniversary they had lol
there's gotta be a term for someone who thinks they're a power user but is more of a silly goose
Probably compromised users. This has been happening on MySpleen too. Update your passwords and use 2FA if available.
Aptly named site lol. Something funky with these torrents
Hey, it’s not malware if it’s advertised.
Why are you downloading 7zip and winrar from a torrent site? Why are you downloading Driver Booster (a pointless scam) at all??? What a bizarre thing to do.
Do the torrent descriptions mention how to configure the malware? Maybe the idea is you distribute them to your targets and can steal their passwords?
In any case, if you still need 7zip... go here: https://7-zip.org/download.html
You're downloading free software (7zip) and actual commercially available scamware (Driver Booster) from torrent sites and complaining that the pirated versions have malware?
The fuckity fuck is wrong with you, man?
yes if the software is cracked it well give false positive you should read about it plus talk to members and mods
what software did you use to scan?
