    I have seen multiple posts about the situation by now with various claims but no one seems to have actually looked into it so I have questions! Is it true that moderators defended the upload and silenced criticism, is it true that the crypto address in question can be linked to the sites admins and is it true that the same malware is all over the internet in countless releases? Not all of those are from this particular pist but if someone here knows the answers I would be happy to read them!

      There is a discord group in the official 1337x subreddit, the user was just a vip user, not a staff/moderator and he deleted comments after posting a malware in order to keep the release alive. Maybe he was trusted before posting it, and 1337x staff are a few people (lately even less) so he wasn’t blocked quickly. Nothing more. I hope 1337x will make an announcement. The user who posted malware was under a blue nikname:

      • Black - admin
      • Green - moderator
      • Blue - vip
      • Yellow - uploader
      • Red - trial uploader
      • Grey - user

      There wasn’t any member of the staff that was helping the vip user to delete comments. He was just deleting comments under its own post by himself.

        There is no official 1337x subreddit or discord group. Go to the 1337x official chat room (link on the front page of 1337x.to) and ask about a discord group or sub reddit and they will tell you its fake.
