Unsealed court documents from February 5th, 2024, in Kadrey v. Meta show Meta (formerly Facebook) illegally torrented 81.7TB of data from "shadow libraries" such as Anna's Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen to train Meta artificial intelligence.

Highlights include:
- A senior AI research at Meta says, "I don't think we should use pirated material. I really need to draw a line there."

- Another AI researcher says, "using pirated material should be beyond our ethical threshold" ... "SciHub, ResearchGate, LibGen are basically like PirateBay or something like that, they are distributing content that is protectec by copyright and they're infringing it".

- In January 2023, Mark Zuckerberg attends a meeting which is heavily redacted in court documents. However, he says "we need to this move this stuff forward" and "we need to find a way to unblock all of this".

- Fast forward to April, 2023, Meta employees discuss using a VPN to conceal Meta IP address ranges when torrenting data. Meta employees also discuss the need to involve lawyers if something goes astray. The unredacted court records show a Meta employee saying, "torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn't feel right 😂".

Moments ago Doxbin was compromised.

A group named "Tooda" has taken credit for the compromise.

In summary, administrative staff from Doxbin got into a verbal altercation with members of Tooda. Doxbin administration accused a Tooda member of being a pedophile.

Tooda retaliated by compromising Doxbin.

Upon compromise of Doxbin, Tooda members did the following (in maybe different steps):
- Dumped every account
- Purged all accounts on the website
- Locked the administrative accounts
- Released Doxbin (alleged) administration PII
- Leaked a so-called "blacklist" — a collection of people who have allegedly paid to not have their information posted on Doxbin

Tooda has claimed online they intend to release the dumped details of Doxbin users. This document is believed to contain roughly 136,000 e-mails and usernames on Doxbin.

Additionally, Tooda has released photos of the Doxbin administrative panel. We have censored some of the content within the panel to protect the privacy of others.

Thank you to "Tongue /🔪", VXDB, and the dozen other people who spammed us online to notify us of the compromise.
